Volvo cars was first, sold to ford motor company, and then the last sold to Geely, a Chinese company, although some shares have been floated on the stock market, the company remains majority owned by Geely. Chairman of Volvo Cars is Chinese (Geely). I see Chinese ownership as a good thing, the same with MG.

Highway 1 has a fast DC charger with a higher capacity than you mentioned, approximately every 30-50km, 20-30 minutes and I am on my way again, chargers are often 125Kw

51 KwHr capacity Generally I charge when about 50% and bring it to 80%, about 15KwHrs which takes 2 hours on my wallbox or 4 hours on any normal socket Could go from 0-100% overnight, but a typcial strategy is ABC, always be charging in which case an hour a day, at night..

I think you mean about 3 or 4 hours, yes very comfortable

Volvo is a Chinese company, it is owned by Geely who pull the strings, let's not fool ourselves, any offices in Sweden are "window dressing". Manufacturing locations are down to local logistical reasons. Volvo cars are as much Swedish as MG cars are British (and I own a Chinese MG).

I have driven an EV (foolishly, I might add) through a flash flood, they are mostly ok for short periods. Salt water is more risky I would say.

So let me understand that.. We Generate electricity We use it to electrolyse water into Hydrogen and Oxygen (25% loss) We compress and store the hydrogen We put it in trucks and bring it to garages Cars take that Hydrogen under pressure and put it in their tanks The cars then explode it and move around 2,000 moving parts (70% loss) Or, isn't this better, it's certainly much more efficent... We Generate electricity We put it into our BEV's (4% loss) It turns the motor (5% loss) I am seeing a problem with your solution...

I can't say for certain but my money is on them both being 99% Chinese (if not 100%)

It allows the comfortable use of EV's for me, and my daughter.

Predictable

You don't need RO & UV. RO alone will remove all the bacteria that UV would kill (providing the RO membrane is in good condition). Additionally, RO will reduce the dissolved minerals by 95%. UV will also remove bacteria by killing it (providing the light source hasn't failed, and they often fail with no way of knowing).

125,600 baht per classroom, sounds about right....

Seeing the light! Bring on the EV haters...

Funny how someone who hates them so much doesn't know the make of the one he road in the day before.

More than likely to be lead-acid batteries.

Both fantastic Chinese manufacturers (since 1924)

Volvo performance looks very tempting.

You don't spell "hart" the way you did.. PS Extra full-stop to make up for last post.

They must have lots of pretty pictures for you.

I can see your spelling is inline with your intellect

Yes, Zero

You're being less than honest methinks

I just saw another BYD caught fire in my kitchen - oh hang on, my mistake, it was just a ham sandwich.

What was the car?

it's a bit like frozen water So range of 3 hours and 45 minutes, it all depends on the speed and terrain.
