It's your standrd PIT (personal income tax), I'm not an expert but I think it peaks at 35%.

If it's a small amount, use BitKub and run the risk of hearing from the Revenue Department. If it's a large amount, sell it overseas into FIAT and transfer that to your bank in Thailand. Your tax liability crystallises when you transfer any digital coin into any other digital coin or FIAT on an authorised Thai exchange.

Are you sure it's not a water heater? It makes no sense to have a compressor indoors.

He's had it 2 months now. Agreed, some useful improvements.

I sold a Toyota Camry I used to commute to Bangkok weekly from Pattaya with over 100,000km on it. I saw it in Pattaya later with under 30,000km on it. It went from me to tent to new owner and I know I didn't clock it!

I get your point, I mostly find the inconvenient thing is the last-minute trip when I may only have 50% battery.

I spoke with the BYD salesman about my 30,000 baht charging credit, he told me I would get it within 60 days of my friend taking delivery of his Seal which would ne next week. He now says it's within 60 days of him getting his white plates. Rever continue to disappoint me. We discussed the BYD enquiry at the Office of the Consumer Protection Board over BYD's pricing and I said I might complain too to which he said BYD will definitely know if you do, so I did yesterday over the lack of increase on 1/1/2024 followed by discount for January 2024 deliveries. I also had a line conversation with MG BKK HQ yesterday asking for my colour and spec choice for my Cyberster. After a lot of going back and forth explaining what price protection is, I told them I want 12 months price protection in writing or they can stick their Cyberster where the sun doesn't shine (a convertible won't be useful there). The numpty on the phone knew nothing about my dealer supposedly having done that.

Thanks I found him and messaged him, got no reply, I guess it needs to be in Thai.

I am beginning to think you are an LWF (Last Word Freak). It's currently 4-5 times cheaper per km for an EV. I don't see it being raised enormously, houses couldn't afford their own electricity. You're right, iys a new phenomenon, we've seen it the Suzuki and Mercedes who cut their E300e price by 25%. My friends and I are not finding an EV inconvenient for long distance travel, but then we like a break every 300km for coffee and a sandwich/pee.

Like ICE cars with their fuel. I believe once the subsidies end, you will see no difference in price. I think the subsidy is just extra profit for the manufacturer. The BYD Seal in Australia is priced very similar to here and it has no subsidy.

Except it wasn't one EV that was sold, it's thousands and now more than 1 in 8 cars sold is EV. That is much bigger than a niche my argumentative anti-EV friend.

The health department is preparing the statistics, figures should be released next month, there's a slight delay as they ran out of crayons.

All that is true. But the percentage of people choosing EV over ICE continues to rise, and the percentage of people choosing ICE over EV continues to drop Anyone who thinks people are turning away from EV's needs a lesson in mathematics.

I think it depends on the size of the annual summary they get from BitKub. If there is a lot of tax due, they may come after you, they know who you are from KYC. This tax liability started 1/1/2024.

You are talking about a price war for market share. Exactly the same has happened with ICE cars. They are all chasing market share and whilst all this is happening EV market share increases and ICE market share decreases. 2+2 does not make 5.

February through June inclusive, the percentage share of EV new car registrations increased every month. February through June inclusive, the percentage share of ICE new car registrations decreased every month. Don’t insult my intelligence telling me there is weak demand and oversupply for EV’s. This article is an alarm about too many EV’s being imported resulting in a concern that local production in future years cannot be large enough to fulfill the requirements of the subsidy agreements. This article is all about the VAST SUCCESS of EV uptake in Thailand.

Thanks for the lesson in oversupply. Now try learning about market share and price wars, they have NOTHING to do with oversupply, except perhaps for the losers. The EV price war here was a reaction to BYD entering the market, and then BYD joined in, as did Suzuki and Mercedes Benz. EV’s are still sold here at vast profit compared to their home market. The cost of importing them here is negligible.

All a bit slow and noisy, even the Raptor, my BYD smokes it in silence. Go on then, I'll ask you, tell us about the breaking distances? is that like braking distances? tell us about depreciation?

Erroneous conclusion

No, what you are talking about is a price war for market share. It has nothing to do with oversupply.

Correct. The other posters are reading it as lack of demand and oversupply currently, that is not the case. There is not oversupply and weak demand.

Or to put it another way. Demand currently matches supply.

You're not reading it right. The article is about too many imports that are going to be difficult to match up with the required number of locally manufactured vehicles under the terms of the EV3.0/EV3.5 subsidy. The article is talking about oversupply now leading to breaking the terms of the subsidy later. There is NOT oversupply for demand currently.
