Goethe also said “Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action” Try an EV to remove that ignorance.

Generally, hold value. They did go up a lot about 10 years ago, when the chairman of the committee began a project of upgrading the public face of and facilities at the building, but that stopped when he resigned.

I already did. My other new EV had to be collected and taken to BKK twice to repair failed air-con. i think I said our two MG EV’s were the first new cars we have ever had without a defect to be fixed under warranty.

Google? Yes right……

Yes it could happen. It keeps me awake at night. I need to see a shrink about it. There is another advantage in running an EV if you have an integral garage at your house. When you arrive at the house and close the garage door, there is very little heat given off the car, whereas if you’re driving an ICE car, then the heat will go up into your house and rooms above the garage.

This thread is about ICE vs. EV I think we have all owned ICE vehicles If you haven’t owned or driven an EV then you should, then you can contribute from knowledge instead of ignorance, mostly prejudicial ignorance, from what I read.

I do like your sense of humour.

At least with money you can be miserable in luxury

I identify as a teapot

I used the word in it’s dictionary definition, not as an insult. Perfectly clear, you can always ask me for clarification if you don’t understand, rather than jump to conclusions.

Other than arson, is there any kind of vehicle fire other than spontaneous? Do your own googling, or read the other thread here. I am not going to do it for you. It’s all out there.

I use the word ignorant, referring to people who are anti-EV whilst ignorant of the experience of driving one

There is a whole thread on this forum about EV fires with dozens of links, here is just one https://electrek.co/2022/01/12/government-data-shows-gasoline-vehicles-are-significantly-more-prone-to-fires-than-evs/

Yawn! read the government statistics, between 60 and 130 times more often than EV cars.

No I just don’t like bigoted scaremongering from ignorant anti-EV’ers

Nonsense

My daughters tell me my purpose in life is to give them money.

You can buy a room in the Chiang Rai Condotel in your budget. Great location, nice cheap restaurant on site, swimming pool. some of the cheaper rooms need renovating though, it’s a popular choice for foreigners. inquire at reception or look at the noticeboard next to the lift. I have never stayed there, but I know a lot of people who have.

Maybe we should ask Bob? I believe his postman smiles at him…

Except it isn’t your full liability…

I had Tax office investigate me last year, passed it over to my accountant and it was handled amicably, nothing due as we file every year. It was another farang who, annoyed that I wouldn’t loan him a few hundred thousand baht, called the tax office before he returned to his native Australia.

I’ve had tenants leave early and forfeit deposit, never had damage.

I was being satirical, it’s only true in Liverpool

As a landlord, if lots of damage, we would sue, block the passport for departure and negotiate, expecting to settle before trial. Trial can take 7 years, I suspect the tenant might have more of a sense of urgency. I would probably try for loss of profits whilst fixing damages too, all part of the negotiation.

Don’t you find it strange that the camp of EV lovers and EV haters are generally populated with those that own an EV and those that have never owned an EV respectively. One group has formed an opinion on experience and the other on ignorance and prejudice. It screams to me.
