Funny guy.

You would have to ask Mistral that, as I said, I reproduced his post giving appropriate credit. However it does appear that Nikkei Asia did modify their original post and removed the 490,000 unsold EVs from it. Callum, they removed their ludicrous claim.

Let's get real. Your video specifically mentioned EV's in many places, it drew comparisons and conclusions about the future of these new engines & EV's. If you want to post another video where EV's are never mentioned, please go ahead.

Actually, I did, see below 2nd graph has, yes you guessed it, REAL NUMBERS

Thanks to @mistral53 another fake news (above) has been debunked. His post below Nikkei Asia is jumping on the bandwagon of China EV bashing with a very low rent hit piece that is full of fake news - to wit, they claim there are 490,000 unsold Chines EVs in Thailand, which is basically forcing the Japanese car manufacturers to shut down their factories here. From Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand - EVAT: 'Been in the auto industry for over 23 years, countless interviews in the media, but never has the information been so distorted by Nikkei news. “Thailand now has 490,000 unsold EVs, according to the Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT), equivalent to 63% of all vehicles the country turned out in the past 12 months.“ I want to clarify that the above information is not from me and the Thai Electric Motor Association สมาคมยานยนต์ไฟฟ้าไทย Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand - EVAT The number of 490,000 cars. I'm referring to the production capacity forecast of 7 electric car companies that enter EV 3.0 and it has nothing to do with the unsold electric car numbers. But NIKEI News Agency provides information that distorts reality differently. Note: Last year, Thailand registered electric cars for the whole year about 76,000 cars and electric car registrations accumulated at the end of May. 2567 around 121,000 cars. How can we have more than 490,000 electric cars stock?' https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Electric-vehicles/Thai-subsidies-for-Chinese-EV-makers-wreak-havoc-on-auto-sector edit: It appears Nikkei Asia just modified their original (dated July 26) and removed the 490,000 unsold EVs......... took them 2 days, their intentions seems obvious!

I don't agree with you. I used the one where all the EV's are sold and compared it to the total sales in that category. I didn't include road rollers, mini-buses, tractors, tuk-tuks etc The stats show a trend of growing demand for EV's and reducing demand for ICE. Honda's sales have declined over 30% in the last couple of years, they have closed 5 factories including Thailand. They see the problem at the sharp end.

The end I usually use on your lies.

You're a sore loser Moonlover. Again you're wrong, you're making a habit of that. The OP didn't only ask for how long did your battery last The OP said he ordered a new battery mail order and asked for "any comments". I gave him good advice. I don't know if he as a voltmeter, they are available in Mr.DIY for around 100 baht. I have 3. People often say their replacement batteries only lasted a couple of years but the one that came with the car lasted 5 years. I explained why that could be the case.

@vinny41 please post some more numbers. I haven't had so much pleasure since I evacuated my bowels this morning.

I said the market share of EV's grew 30% in March. 7.4% in February to 10.6% in March is actually a 40% growth as you were kind enough to point out, I calculated incorrectly at 30%. My original post is below. However you slice and dice it February 7.4% of new cars were EV's March 10.6% of new cars were EV's April 10.8% of new cars were EV's May 12.1% of new cars were EV's June 13.4% of new cars were EV's. EV market share grew 30% in March 2% in April 11% in May 10% in June

Connoisseur is the word you are looking for

I'm questioning your post, you missed of a couple of months that would have made you look like a total idiot instead of just an ordinary idiot. I used my post because it had the bold argument destroying percentages.

I think you were a bit of a berk (moron might be a bit strong) for posting numbers that destroyed your argument. Your own numbers demonstrated a trend of increasing EV market share.

I never said that. Yes you can rapidly discharge any battery and it will overheat. But the video you showed was a puncture test. There is a video out there from BYD comparing that with one of their own batteries. Their own battery reached 60C only.

It's a question of economics. Porsche already have a factory in South America producing Nett Zero fuel. It's still polluting but they generate it in a way that is a carbon sink so overall it's a zero. The first issue we need to consider is the engine type. ICE engines burning any type of fuel have around 100 times more moving parts than an EV. They are inefficient and prone to failure. Then there's the issue of cost. We use underground refined carbons because it is economic to do so. I don't see an economic alternative. Clearly it's not Hydrogen because it's 5 times more expensive per Km than an EV. EV's are inherently more efficient. We are also on an adoption curve for EV's that I think is hard to derail. Customers like them, they like not having to visit a fuel station.

This is for an NMC or NCA battery. Most people buy LFP batteries (all BYD cars are LFP) LFP batteries don't do that.

Any reason why you did not include March and June?

I have worked out the percentages in your post and added them in bold. It looks suspiciously like your figures support that EV market share continues to grow. I believe this what is called an OWN GOAL.

I don't agree with your conclusion. We don't know what the aviation industry will do and it will more than likely be irrelevant to the car industry.

I never said the market share of EV's was 30% in March. Go back over my post and re-read it. If you want to work it out yourself, you may need some crayons.

There aren't any EV pickups on the market yet, when there are, I will gladly compare them to ICE pickups. The same goes for tractors, road rollers and all the others you wanted included. My figures include ALL of the RY.1 passenger cars. That is where we currently have EV's sold. ALL petrol/diesel RY.1 were included and the same for EV's I compared apples to apples, not apples to apples, pears, oranges, prunes, grapes and other irrelevancies.

You are right, all batteries Sulphate. But below 12.4 volts it is significant and causes permanent damage. I stand by what I said, reject a new battery if it's voltage on delivery is 12.4v or less. It's clear the seller has been negligent and that battery has sat on a shelf too long.

Putting these numbers in context February 92.6% of new cars were ICE powered March 89.4% of new cars were ICE powered April 89.2% of new cars were ICE powered May 87.9% of new cars were ICE powered June 86.6% of new cars were ICE powered As you can see the market share of ICE cars dropped every month Compare that to the market share of new EV's February 7.4% of new cars were EV's March 10.6% of new cars were EV's April 10.8% of new cars were EV's May 12.1% of new cars were EV's June 13.4% of new cars were EV's. As you can see the market share of EV's increased every month In fact, EV market share grew 43% in March 2% in April 12% in May 11% in June The fact is that people are switching to EV's in DOUBLE droves.

Thank you

Nonsense. Those figures compare "ALL" RY.1 ICE to "ALL" RY.1 EV. The trend is there for anyone to see.
