In theory, if not at fault and you are off the road, you are entitled to an equivalent rental car. Your insurance company won't pay for it, but if the other party is properly insured they could try and reclaim it if you gave them the bill.

I agree, where is the heater? the heated seats? the auto-defrosting door mirrors, the heated front windscreen etc Nonsense, didn't you know it's Morris's Garages since 1924 in Beijing.

Did you mean... Indeed, January 2024 began well. EV sales registrations for the month came to 13,653 new cars. In turn, this was 20.5% of what was already a depressed car market this year in Thailand. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/04/26/sales-of-ev-cars-fell-in-thailand-in-february-and-march-2024/ January figures of 13,653 registrations are mostly December 2023 sales BYD report sales of 37,000 for the whole of 2023 however if you exclude December sales that figure drops to 29,000

Poor reporting. Errors include, ORA Good Cat is not the cheapest EV sold here made in Thailand, The Neta V is. Hertz did not rid of their EV fleet, they got rid of "some" of it.

Must be those "go-faster stickers", EV owners don't need them, they are already hyperfast.

What do you have running? It probably varies with whatever you are running. An AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) will keep you closed to 220v

Voltage varies with load your side of the transformer.

ICE cars are only guaranteed 5 years, there must be a reason for that. You are allowed both access and to lay utilities across neighbours land. They cannot prevent you. However, it is not free, you have to leave the land in the same state so cables & pipes need to be laid underground and they have a right to charge you once, annually or both, or even force you to buy the land you have used, and if you have used only 15cm, I am not sure about this, but they may be able to force you to buy 3m either side. Section 1349 of the Civil and Commercial Code governs the Thai legal right to a “right of way.” Under this section, the owner of a piece of landlocked property with no access to a public road may pass over a surrounding land to reach a public road. The place and manner of the pass over must cause as little damage as possible and the person creating the passage must compensate the landowner for any damage that occurred. The compensations can be made through annual payments. See also the Servitudes in Thailand Law here. The legal right to a “right of way” is a blunt instrument that may generate more problems with neighbors than it solves. Most people do not like using the law to force a passage through their neighbor’s land. There can be issues as to whether the passage minimizes the damage and the amount of compensation. In addition, there may be general animosity created by forcing a path through the neighbor’s property.

She lives off grid, she does have Solar but she regularly runs out. I have told her to identify when her batteries reach full charge then she can probably do some charging at home, but not much.

When it happens she will have to fast charge to 80% and then use the AC plug at EV Pluz. I will let you know when she gets the message

I'm not sure whether you need to do that on NMC batteries, they recommend you only charge to 80% every time unless you're traveling a long distance, you have to tell the car to do that, it's not the default. EV Pluz also have a 220v charging option so I guess she could do that if it's necessary.

Very funny, splitting my sides here ! NOT

You're welcome to post one

That's not what he said

She only got the car 10 days ago, today was the second time she charged it, we went to a PTT and plugged it in, easy peasey, it took 30 minutes to go from 20% to 80%, her car is the performance variant with NMC batteries and you don't charge past 80% unless you're going on a long drive. We had a coffee at Amazon and then ger phone pinged to say "Charging Complete" IMHO, many people can easily function without a home charger.

Nonsense, EV's are between 13 and 139 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE vehicle.

My 76 year old lady friend just bought an EV, she can't charge at home, she goes for a coffee once a week at Amazon/PTT and charges her car there whilst relaxing.

It depends what you're storing and how you use it. For example, if you're storing media then you don't need multiple simultaneous writes, you are typically just writing one file at a time. A far more elegant solution is to run UNRAID instead of RAID6, the electric cost savings are huge. With one or two parity drives and in my PC I have 20 data drives as well as 2 parity drives. I can handle any 2 simultaneous disk crashes without losing data and with 3 crashes I lose data on 1, 2,or 3 drives only. Furthermore there are never more than 3 drives spun up together when writing and only one drive when reading, disks spin down when not being used. UNRAID makes all 20 data drives appear as one large disk but each disk has a file system on it. The Antec 1200 case will allow 20 drives to be stored using 5in3 hot swappable drive caddies. I have 3 UNRAID systems in Antec 1200 cases.

We don't know the history of the vehicle, you may be right, you may not be right.

Looks like some clips are missing.

Typically, the AVR will correct the voltage drop and draw more current across the wires to the house. There is a point at which it can no longer correct the voltage, on my LiOA unit it's 150v. Drawing more current across the wires to the house also decreases the voltage. The wires from the meter are almost always big enough. Generally, the whole process is transparent and since the PEA meter measures power used (Voltage x Current) it makes little difference if your cable from the meter is big enough. Having an AVR is detrimental to your neighbours when the voltage drops because you continue drawing full power. A lot of electronics with switching power supplies (computers, inverter A/C and refrigerators) also act as an AVR and they draw more current when the voltage drops to compensate. If the voltage drops too much then they usually blow a fuse or blow up.
