I think made in Thailand so no import tax GWM think current Thailand price is to low and should be B300,000 higher https://www.nationthailand.com/pr-news/perspective/40001877

I think this year brands wouldn't be focused on bookings so much and instead focus on completed sales as the FTI are stating at the moment rejection rate for finance is 50% so expect completed sales will be down some brands have already downgraded their forecast total number of sales for the year 2024 due to current sharp economic contraction Neta was reporting 20% finance rejection last August

the ip67 rating I found for current MG ZS EV and MG EP+ were from MG Thailand current pages there isn't a huge difference between IP67 and IP69 IP69K adds protection Powerful high-temperature water jets

It seems that GWM is not happy with the price war between Brands and is planning to ask Chinese Government to operate a cartel regarding price reductions There are other reports ( can't link here due to forum rules) that GWM is planning to operate a price we publish is the price you pay no price reductions or discounts I think Tesla use to have a similar policy while their sales were high and no competition My own personal view is sometimes manufacturers when they launch a new product in a new country they simply pick a price out of the air and run with that or reduce the price if there not getting the sales numbers they were expecting https://autolifethailand.tv/gwm-chinese-brand-price-war/

IP67 according to MG https://www.mgcars.com/th/mg-models/new-mg-zs-ev/maintenance I have seen non mg sites use ip69K but no information on how they arrived at that rating Interesting MG video shows how zs ev battery built does state IP67

Is this a new marketing technique I don't believe that BYD and a number of other brands haven't received a single booking at the current motor show more likely not releasing figures for some reason Details of car reservations at the event https://bims45.motorshow.in.th/statistics#

MG ZS EV and MG EP+ are modular only doesn't apply to MG4 I am not aware of any other Brands that offer modular batteries

You post This thread is “ev in Thailand” so yeah, piss off somewhere else. " And then you post an non related EV in Thailand which is it be change the Title thread to Electric Cars which would include information about EV worldwide or leave this thread in its original format This is a discussion about EVs available or coming to Thailand. Not private imports but cars supported here with a dealer network. Are you interested in an EV as your next car if so which one and why? Do you know of any breaking news about EVs in Thailand? If so post here. This not a discussion about EVs v ICE cars - for that go here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1246109-ice-vs-ev-the-debate-thread/ This is not a discussion about Chinese cars - for that go here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1235921-why-so-many-chinese-cars-mg-cars-do-people-only-care-to-buy-something-cheap-whatever-is-the-quality/

@KhunLA makes a valid point here about charging stations near your home Though you may need on the last return leg, so that's actually a good thing. although the sensible option would to charge before that one nearest to your house just in case its out of order for whatever reason

I was pointing out your previous eloquent post "This thread is “ev in Thailand” so yeah, piss off somewhere else. "

Do you read what you post Nio sells cars in China, Hong Kong and a number of European Countries IT does not sell anything in Thailand per title of the thread "Electric Vehicles in Thailand"

I would have said that @KhunLA is 100% not a moron from the anti ev crowd His posts are quite refreshing as he does point out some of the known faults on ev's and doesn't just post like a peddler selling their wares only posting postive's never negative's

For Used Car market In Thailand its a series of unknown's at the moment and its cash only As to second hand EV's in Thailand that appears to be a developing market at the moment as stated in this article here Pinyo further explained that if these seized EVs were to be sold in the second-hand car market, it’s unlikely that financial institutions would provide loan schemes for potential buyers of used EVs. The lack of confidence in granting loans in the second-hand EV market stems from the market’s expected small size and the continued fluctuation in new EV prices, making it difficult for banks to calculate the value of used EVs, said Pinyo https://thethaiger.com/news/business/electric-vehicle-market-faces-risk-from-non-performing-loans Majority of vehicles purchased in Thailand are purchased using loan repayment finance This article is indicating that buyers have a greater chance of being approved for a loan on a 2nd hand ice vehicle than of a 2nd hand EV vehicle at the moment there is just 5 electric cars for sale from private owners on Used Cars Electric Private for Sale | One2car prices from B6,600,000 downwards https://www.one2car.com/en/cars-for-sale?profile_type=Private&fuel_type=Electric&page_size=26&sort=price.desc

BYD’s Quality Problems Hit International Markets: Report In Thailand, where Chinese EVs have taken the domestic automotive market by storm, BYD’s quality issues seem to be mounting. Complaints of paint and plastic peeling have become public. Meanwhile, in Israel, BYD EVs are reported to have warped under the weight of roof racks. https://insideevs.com/news/712148/byd-quality-problems-hit-international-markets/

As you can see @pib posted about Europe is being exposed to Chinese EVs and I didn't see any complaints from you about his post and clearly he must be interested in what is happening to EV market share in Europe And I noticed on this thread you made 2 posts about China which as far as I know is not part of Thailand and there is a further 207 posts on China
