My friend was asked to contribute, they came round to his house from the police box a few hundred meters away. He came to an agreement that he would pay every month if they promised not to stop him when he was driving home from the bars, in his case that would be every night.

AliExpress now has the rear BYD bonnet and boot (hood and trunk to those of you from the former colonies) badge in black or silver One to one replacement.

Total clap-trap. This market segment is foreseen to display a compound annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2029) of 8.56%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$51.3bn by 2029. Electric Vehicles - UK | Statista Market Forecast (updated this month).

If it is truly 60% efficient, then that is as efficient as the most efficient HFCEV so you might as well stick with Fuel-Cell. Where are all these wonderful Hydrogen cars? Too little too late. Whilst I do think we might see some Hydrogen Cars, they will be fuel cell, sold along side BEV's and market dynamics (cost, supply & demand) will take care of the rest. You should read the McKinsey report, here is it what says about mobility... By 2040, clean hydrogen could play a larger role in new applications—especially in mobility, which is expected to be the largest “newcomer” for clean hydrogen demand by 2040 in the Further Acceleration scenario. Applications could range from fuel cell electric vehicles in long-haul, heavy-duty trucking to synthetic kerosene in aviation. Global Energy Perspective 2023: Hydrogen outlook | McKinsey Whilst there is expected to be some long distance hydrogen transport, passenger cars are expected to continue to be BEV's, they are here to stay are here to stay.

WARNING WILL ROBINSON! BROKEN RECORD ALERT!

It was about 15 years ago when I was involved in the project to research body scanners for Thailand's airports. We investigated many and at the time my 2 year contract was up, a particular model installed in a trial at Manila airport was favourite. I don't recall the name of it. I was part of the group that went to Manila to see it working, basic but functional. I'm sure they are much more accurate today. I think your confusing departure with arrivals. Covert scanning is for Arrivals and particularly by customs. You will often find a "pinch point" in the nothing to declare exit. This is where you will get scanned. It's all over the world now, they are looking for all kinds of contraband.

You can and you should declare it. If you don't, you may get away with it or you may not. If you didn't declare it, maybe you got lucky.

The risk with a Hybrid car is that it catches fire. They are approximately 130 times more likely to do that than a BEV.

I got it, most hybrids have worse fuel economy at highway speeds and hybrid systems provide a fuel-economy boost in steady state high-speed driving. Clear as mud.

From your link... For starters, most hybrids have worse fuel economy at highway speeds than they do around town.

The only limit I know is 2 million for AML, you can probably change more but they are obligated to report it.

You don't understand the digital and the aspects of the "one-view" system of Thailand 4.0 Correct And you know this how? Were you a director of the company that managed security at BKK & Phuket Airports with many thousands of security personnel on-site? I suspect you are the one who is ignorant here and making assumptions.

And those Thai workers who are getting jobs in the new EV factories would disagree with you.

Have you run out of factual information such that you needed to morph into a full -troll replete with kindergarten emoji's?

You do jump to conclusions don't you, how is that working out for you?

Fault diagnosis and warranty compliance monitoring, nothing nefarious here.

I read that article, I didn't see anything other than data collection and fault diagnosis equipment. People panic over stupid things. The elevator in my home also has a cellular modem for the manufacturer to fault diagnose & plan service intervals, good luck getting anything secret from my habits.

Nobody is forcing you to buy Chinese stuff, you can always buy Western stuff at 5 times the price if you want. We are extremely fortunate in Thailand to have the choice without being taxed to sh?t or being forced to buy expensive, less technologically advanced cars.

Simple, to annoy anti-EV'ers ! Most of our cars don't contain cobalt or nickel, so no Congolese exploited here.

I did an analysis on the MG ZS and they depreciated at the same rate. I sold a one year old MG EP+ and it depreciated exactly as you would expect a one year old car of any fuel type to do. Checkout www.one2car.com and you'll find lots of cars to compare.

Explain the science of how it can be better?

No, I mean 1 in 7 new cars

I agree, I see a Hybrid as a gimmick, PHEV's have some benefit, not least giving owners the confidence to go full EV next time.

The Honda Civic Hybrid is a special case. It's more like the Diesel-Electric locomotives that were used in the UK. IIRC, the car is only driven by an electric motor and the ICE engine is used as a generator. I think it's also an Atkinson Cycle engine which improves economy at the expense of outright power. If you drive at a constant speed on a motorway, your fuel consumption in a hybrid will be no different (or worse) than the same engine without Hybrid. It needs you to brake to become more efficient.

You missed that they are about 130 times more likely to catch fire than an EV.
