Hybrid Technology: While it may not run solely on the battery, the hybrid system significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions. Would you agree that an EV cuts out emissions altogether? No it doesn't until the country is producing 100% zero carbon electricity many years away in the future Environmental Impact: The hybrid system helps lower your carbon footprint. By using less fuel and emitting fewer pollutants, you’re contributing to a cleaner environment. Would you agree that EVs` as they don’t emit pollutants, contribute more to a cleaner environment? For that to happen they would have to stop using petrolchemicals product such as plastic and tyres ExxonMobil see an increase with more EV's being produced 300 gallons or 1170 litres of petrochemicals products https://energyfactor.exxonmobil.asia/reducing-emissions/energy-efficiency/electric-vehicles-cant-without-oil-and-gas/

Check with the university as they might have minimum requirements if students are expected to work on large spreadsheets I know someone that runs ms office fine on a 2021 IPAD with keyboard and mouse I think they start around B10K here for a 64GB not sure why you would want a 2-1 laptop over a normal laptop as the 2-1 will be more expensive

I am not aware of anyone rebuilding an ICE battery normally if its no longer charging people simply replace

Tesla recalls 1.85 million US vehicles over unlatched hood issue https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-recall-over-18-mln-us-vehicles-2024-07-30/

And you never will as ICE batteries are known as consumables as they are expected to degraded over a number of years some battery manufacturers do offer a 5 year warranty

In the USA Nissan has chosen to buy back Nissan Leafs where the battery has degraded battery under warranty. more than the limit set in the owners manual Not sure why they are buying back instead of replacing the battery but from what i have read the buyback offers have been quite generous as for batteries lasting twenty years I have seen a single manufacturer claim that and as far as i know I haven't seen a single manufacturer offering a 20 year battery warranty

I did see a ora good cat 500 ultra I think new for B660K on Byd thailand facebook group

Used ICE car prices have been affected by the domino effect multiple issues the primary issue is oversupply of used cheap car stock During 2023-2024, the used car market in Thailand faced significant challenges. In 2023, the number of cars seized by financial institutions was approximately 250,000-300,000 units, almost double from the previous year (150,000-180,000 units). All seized cars were sent to auction lots. In 2023, there were almost 300,000 cars entering auction lots, resulting in an oversupply of used cars. Used car operators had to lower the selling price. Some dealerships may have to accept a loss in order to maintain the liquidity of the business. https://mgronline.com/motoring/detail/9670000063452 Now when a private buyer or tent sells a car they aim to sell it for as close to what they believe the car is worth and majority will wait for the right price The cars seized by financial institutions put up at auction also aim to get the highest amount possible for the car but if they will accept any offer rather than withdraw it from the auction sale and relist the car The financial institutions know if the auction sale doesn't cover the finance balance they will go after the original buyer or the buyer guarantor to recover the balance from what ever assets they own With Used EV's at the moment both tents and financial institutions are giving EV's a wide berth due to the fluctuating prices and unable to determine the value of the EV When new prices of EV's drop in price by between B100K - B340K if you bought a used car before the price reduction impossible to sell without taking a major hit as no-one is going to buy at pre price reduction price I did see last of the Neta V 1 for sale at B399k

January 2024 registrations figures are a result of EV 3.0 subsidy ended 31st December 2023 as the DLT point out in this article Data from the Department of Land Transport indicate that the EV market has not been particularly strong since the beginning of the year. January recorded the highest number of registrations for the year at 13,321 units, driven partly by a rush to register before the January 31 deadline to qualify for benefits under the EV promotion plan, EV 3.0, which offers a 2% excise tax and a subsidy of up to 150,000 baht. This rush led to a sharp decline in registrations the following months. If the cumulative total for the first five months is extrapolated for the entire year, EV sales are expected to be close to 76,000 units, considerably lower than the overall projection of between 100,000 to 130,000 units. https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/business/automobile/40039276

I would check the facebook groups for your model I seen a post recently for another pickup brand and they were out of warranty and require a new sensor cost was B80k If the part comes from outside Thailand there will be import taxes which will bump up the cost of any parts

Problem is Autolife numbers don't tally with DLT numbers Autolife EV numbers for July 2023 are 5116 DLT numbers for July 2023 for R.Y.1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people are 5057 difference of 59 https://autolifethailand.tv/ev-bev-register-thailand-july-2023/ so their market share % is meaningless

Not Sure how they get their numbers according to DLT stats for June registrations Vehicle type: R.Y. 1, personal passenger car, not more than 7 people. 1) Honda Accord 260 2) Byd Seal 249 3) Toyota Camry 155 4) Ora 07 104 5) Deepal L07 62 In addition to the above for Vehicle type: R.Y. 10 Sightseeing service car Deepal L07 3 vehicles Toyota Camry 2 vehicles So Deepal L07 is correct if you add R.Y.1 and R.Y.10 together ORA 07 is correct BYD Seal is correct Honda Accord is missing 138 vehicles Toyota Camry has 62 vehicles more that combined R.Y.1 and R.Y.10 together

60 Registered in 2023 66 Registered in 2024 Import tax for Japan 20% Import tax for South Korea 40%

Here is a site that has pictures of the battery covers Majority of brands use steel with the exception of byd using plastic and Ora good cat using carbon fiber which I understand is expensive https://droidsans.com/ev-car-battery-cap-issue/ https://www.tchaintech.com/TH/NDETAIL/the_differences_between_carbon_fiber_and_steel

When you say fiber there are other brands that have fiber covers and they aren't eaten by rats all the facebook groups refer to the atto3 and Dolphin as having plastic covers and that Byd is the only brand that has decided to use plastic cover in this video looks like plastic to me

Mercedes-Benz slows battery plans amid lower EV demand But with EV demand lower than many automakers had forecast, Mercedes-Benz said earlier this year it did not expect sales of electrified vehicles, including hybrids, to reach up to 50% of the total until 2030 - five years later than its previous forecast of 2025. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/mercedes-benz-opens-battery-research-production-centre-stuttgart-headquarters-2024-07-08/

It would appear that the Thai Goverment has been listening closely to some wise words from the expat community of Don't put all your eggs in one basket EV Board supports 'hybrid cars', approves 5-year excise tax cut, attracts additional investment of 50 billion 'EV Board' issues measures to support hybrid cars, reducing excise tax for HEV cars from 2028 - 2032, expecting this measure to create no less than 50 billion baht in investment, creating a modern car parts production base, 'Excise' expects to lose 5,000 - 10,000 million baht in revenue, but pushing Thailand to be a future HEV production base https://www.bangkokbiznews.com/business/economic/1137540

What they stated is correct Japan urges ASEAN to prioritise hybrids over EVs for sustainability During the Economic Security and Supply Chains seminar, Yasuyuki Todo from the Faculty of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University cautioned ASEAN about over-relying on the electric vehicle (EV) industry. He pointed out that since Asean mainly depends on fossil fuels for energy production, EVs still indirectly consume non-renewable resources. Todo suggested that ASEAN countries, including Thailand, should prioritise hybrid cars over EVs as a more practical solution for reducing carbon emissions. He remarked that Thailand is ready to advance beyond being a hub for car manufacturers and should instead focus on research and development. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/japan-urges-asean-to-prioritise-hybrids-over-evs-for-sustainability
