Electric Vehicles in Thailand
JBChiangRai replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I have charged my friend’s MG4 X-Power at the BYD Dealership albeit on my ReverSharger account. I'm not sure whether you can get an account without a BYD vehicle. -
From that same article (your selective editing and bias is a lead weight in a sea of truth) ... Despite this, valuation firms, such as CAP Hpi and CLD Vehicle Information Services, continue to project strong residuals for many EVs; CLD currently estimates the new electric Vauxhall Grandland will be worth 62 per cent of its initial asking price after three years – in-line with petrol-powered alternatives. Head of forecast strategy at CAP Hpi, Dylan Setterfield told Auto Express: “We are very open about our forecasts and assumptions”. “Three years ago, we took the view that used values for battery-electric models were unsustainably high,” Setterfield continued. “We assumed significant reductions in used values, but the resulting movement was higher, partly due to unforeseen events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”

Members (myself included & I do know a lawyer who specialises in this) are unlikely to provide help when you only give scant details. You said you bought on a crypto exchange, you also say regular P2P stuff. Which is it? P2P? or P2B (crypto exchange). Buying on a Thai crypto exchange is perfectly legal, buying from another person can be considered money laundering. Buying on a foreign exchange with funds from Thailand breaks the currency control laws. Selling crypto on a Thai exchange bought overseas breaks the currency control laws (although this happens all the time and the TRD will want their cut).

It worked for me

My cat likes to get on the roof of my Seal too. My car is wrapped and it has scratched the wrap, it’s softer than paint. I’m fortunate that my house has integral garage, so we try to keep the cat out of it and the electric door closed. I also bought some cheap car covers in Lazada, the cheap ones are fairly light and easy to put on and take off and put in the trunk by one person. About 300 baht I think.

They probably haven't released figure yet. -
I can't say I find it uncomfortable or overly hot. IMHO, money on film is dead money, an expensive film doesn't add any more value to the car than a cheap film when you come to resale and I'm not sure I could tell the difference either. I'd rather spend the extra 25,000 baht on another holiday. I tint all round at 40% cut, and leave the roof alone as it's already special glass and no problem, I can't feel any heat on the top of my head, which sadly has a lot less insulation (hair) than my vanity would appreciate It would be interesting to compare 2 identical cars side by side and measure glass and inside temperatures. We could do that remotely, park at the same compass angle on the level, at the same time of day and measure temperatures at the same time, if anyone else has a seal with 40% cut and an expensive film.

I think it's all the same. I bought the cheapest from a specialist, I think I paid 6-8,000 baht. I'm very happy with it.

His critics said it couldn't be done.

so say “I” not “we”. you do not speak for me. -

Don't say "we", you don't speak for me. -

Those signed transfer documents you refer to are undated. Thai ID cards are valid 7 years, so on average those undated forms you mention become useless in 3.5 years unless you track your nominee shareholders and get new copies of signed ID cards. There are some pitfalls you need to avoid. Don’t leave the house to someone in your will (you don’t own it), instead leave your shares in the company. It’s expensive for anyone to take the property out of the company, there’s a significant tax liability.

Police Crack Down on 15 Chinese-Backed Firms Using Thai Nominees

Got it! You wouldn’t, so go after everyone who did. PS I don’t have either but I wish those that have good luck and don’t want to see them persecuted . -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
JBChiangRai replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I have had EV’s with both NMC and LFP batteries. LFP is a clear winner as approximately double the charge cycles and much safer and I would only buy an NMC car if LFP wasn’t available. @matchar is correct, it is a common misconception that it is good to charge LFP batteries to 100%. Battery degradation is proportional to SoC, however, manufacturers need 100% SoC to recalibrate the BMS for range as LFP batteries have a fairly flat voltage over something like 70% to 95% and it’s almost impossible for the BMS to know what the state of charges, it can only tell when it’s going up towards 100%. The trade-off is knowing the state of charge/range versus battery longevity. Most manufacturers take a middle road by asking you to charge to 100% but not to recharge until you’re down to 20% or below in which case your average SoC is 60%. What you don’t want to do is called ABC Always Be Charging. Keep your average SoC as low as you’re comfortable. I don’t really care about the range being accurate and I only charge to 100% every couple of months. I’m overseas on holiday and I left my Seal at 42% SoC for 8 days. -

I think I read that the D model now gets the rear spoiler, I think the car looks ugly without it. The ELK is annoying and needs turning off at every journey. -
EV Charger Recommendations

I spent a couple of hours Google searching and found somewhere in Germany selling the card. But that’s as far as I got. But that box is one of the best on the market and it’s very expensive to have fitted privately here. I think it’s over ฿50,000 and over ฿60,000 if you want three phase.
