  1. 2022 model entirely imported from China 2024 model Thailand locally built as the MG 4 was recently awarded a Made in Thailand certificate I assume that at least 40% of the MG4 is built with locally sourced Thai parts
  2. I haven't seen any annoucements that the MG4 is being replaced I have seen there might be a MG4 estate version in the future It makes sense to phase out MG ZS EV and MG EP and MG ES as those cars are built from the old platform where MG4 is built on newer platform
  3. From January 1, 2026 onwards, all types of car drivers must have voluntary insurance with "named driver" policy https://www.thaipbs.or.th/news/content/347517
  4. Car insurance rules have changed since yesterday for new cars all cars from January 1st 2026 Overhauling "car insurance" for the next 20 years, forcing name identification and calculating premiums based on risk Because in reality, the risk of a car is not in the car itself but in the driver
  5. Car insurance rules changed since yesterday Car Insurance rules are changing for new cars 1st January 2025 for all cars 1st January 2026 Overhauling "car insurance" for the next 20 years, forcing name identification and calculating premiums based on risk “The reason why the OIC wants to adjust the terms and conditions of car insurance policies this time is to make the insurance premiums more in line with the behavior of each driver. In the future, the OIC will be able to collect more individual driving behaviors, and drivers who frequently have accidents should pay higher premiums. Because in reality, the risk of a car is not in the car itself but in the driver. Therefore, forcing the name of the driver will let the insurance company know who has safe driving behavior or not, which will result in future premium pricing leading to more appropriate pricing. https://www.prachachat.net/finance/news-1711047 Basically moving away from the old model of the car is insured not the driver
  6. mismanagement of public funds Lost in Iceland: £1 billion from councils, charities and police More than 100 public bodies had money in collapsed banks https://www.theguardian.com/business/2008/oct/10/banking-iceland Here a Council that thinks it is a bank Bankrupt Woking Borough Council 'cosplaying' as bank by lending millions to private school Woking Borough Council had “no business” handing over millions of pounds in unsecured loans to a private school and was “cosplaying” at being a bank, a top ranking official has said. Greenfield School borrowed millions of pounds from the now bankrupt borough but has since approached the authority to say it did “not currently have funds” to fully repay a debt of £2.4 million due to mature on November 25. https://www.wokingnewsandmail.co.uk/news/bankrupt-woking-borough-council-cosplaying-as-bank-by-lending-millions-to-private-school-739817
  7. Any extra money for SEND has already been spent 2. £1bn for SEND, but most will cover deficits Of the £2.3 billion schools funding increase, £1 billion is for SEND and alternative provision. The Treasury said this was a 6 per cent real-terms increase. Councils will have “discretion” on how they will spend the additional cash, but the Treasury predicts “it is very likely that they will use the funding to reduce their in-year deficit”. The documents suggest it would clear £865 million from SEND deficits in 2025-26. https://schoolsweek.co.uk/budget-2024-most-of-1bn-send-injection-will-plug-deficits/ 1. Four in 10 councils face bankruptcy over £4.9bn ticking timebomb deficit NAO said four in 10 councils may be at risk of declaring effective bankruptcy if an accountancy immunity – known as a statutory override – ends in March 2026. Since 2020, councils have been allowed to keep high needs deficits off their books. This was due to end in 2024, but was extended until 2026 because 10 councils would have effectively gone bankrupt overnight if they had to move their deficits back onto their balance sheets. The cumulative deficit could be up to £4.9 billion when the override ends, DfE believes. https://schoolsweek.co.uk/send-in-crisis-naos-8-damning-findings/ £1billion Government SEND funding 'not enough' to help the 1,800 children missing school in Surrey https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/1billion-government-send-funding-not-30310006 Surrey County Council paid out £500,000 last year for repeatedly failing children and families https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/surrey-county-council-paid-out-29273263 Surrey runs out of space for private school children Local council has no vacancies for pupils in Year 9, 10 or 11 under Labour’s VAT raid Forecasts show there are expected to be no vacancies for pupils in Year 9, 10 or 11 next September despite the Government’s own data suggesting 2,400 children in Surrey need spaces in state school as a result of its 20pc levy. If the nearest available school is more than three miles away, the council must provide free transport to those who apply. If there is no public transport in place, they may have to pay for taxis to take children to school. There are concerns that Labour’s VAT raid could result in councils racking up big bills for private school pupils to be taxied to school because of a lack of spaces in nearby state schools. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/surrey-runs-out-space-private-school-children-forced-out/ It looks like Surrey will be paying out more in fines in 2025

  9. NEW MG4 ELECTRIC receives Made in Thailand standard, the first model in Thailand.

  10. If your looking at a new car it will be the NETA V-II which was launched in March 2024 currently selling at between B406K-B429K, B429K is the listed price as I think very diffcult to find brand new Neta V version 1
  11. Interesting videos from owners of Fisker Ocean Before Fisker filed for Bankruptcy cars were selling for $70,000 USD Once Bankruptcy was annouced cars were selling for $20,000 USD We Owned a Fisker Ocean for Almost a Year and It Was Rough | Long-Term Test Wrap-Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JRP387XpYk Time To Buy A Fisker? Here's My Take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW6FjVL_GtQ Buggy software from day 1 owners were promised updates that would resolved these issues but unlikely to happen now due to Bankruptcy Only a single car fob and a fob that doesn't always open the doors or start the car as the fob isn't always recognized by the car instead you get message no fob found Fisker safety recalls costs will be funded by Fisker in the USA only Europe owners unknown
  12. Porsche Taycan owners in the Uk that have received an ARB6 recall notice letter are being advised "Additionally, until the inspection has been completed, we would advise not to charge the vehicle under cover and or to ensure the vehicle is not parked adjacent to or under buildings " https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/arb6-recall-notice-uk.22854/

  14. The Suzuki Celerio is the cheapest Suzuki car in Thailand, with a starting price of THB 319,900 I am sure dealers are open to offers
  15. Neta V launch price in March 2022 was B549K since V was replaced with the NETA V-II in March 2024 currently selling at between B406K-B429K, B429K is the listed price The last of the Neta V were sold for between B369K and B384K Urgent!!! Last 5 cars. NETA V. Special price 384,000 baht. Neta Pattaya https://www.facebook.com/groups/691605631878633/permalink/1241572656881925 Personally I think the op should look also at MG ZS EV models 2022 upwards as you will find models close to your B300k target and I would check these forums and EV facebook group pages regarding news on Neta
