CATL launches battery with 15-year lifespan for electric buses The battery has a service life of up to 15 years or 1.5 million kilometers and a warranty of 10 years or 1 million kilometers, CATL said. The solution has an IP69 rating and can withstand 72 hours of water immersion. https://cnevpost.com/2024/09/14/catl-launches-battery-electric-buses/ On the Car front I noticed posters focus on the number of years of battery warranty forgetting that their are also set maximum number of kilometers that are associated with the battery warranty In China Cumulative insurance registrations of NEVs with eight-year warranties have amounted to 19.41 million units over the past eight years, but starting this year, their warranties will begin to expire, he said. Under current warranty standards, most car companies require that the battery's usable capacity fall below 70 percent during the warranty period in order to qualify for a warranty, Li noted. If the usable capacity of the battery pack falls below 70 percent, there will be safety issues and the car-using experience will be greatly affected, he said. https://cnevpost.com/2024/03/17/nio-william-li-urges-more-focus-on-battery-life/

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway drops BYD stake to less than 5% Even for Warren Buffett, BYD can be called a long-term holding. Berkshire Hathaway first bought a stake in BYD in 2008. Berkshire began selling shares in August 2022, cutting just over half its holding over the next two years. As of July 2024, Buffett owned less than 5% of BYD's Hong Kong H-shares, below the threshold where it has to disclose further sales.

Interesting Times ahead The palm oil producers do have a powerful lobby into Goverment policy In this article written in 2023 they are forecasting an increase in daily consumption of biodiesel and palm oil from 2023 Currently, daily consumption of biodiesel and palm oil stands at 4.33 million litres and 3.77 million kilograms respectively to 2024 daily consumption of biodiesel and palm oil at 4.66 million litres and 3.88 million kilos, https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40033888 And In August 2024 it is reported that Rosana explained that biofuel used in diesel is 60-70 percent more expensive per liter than basic diesel, while ethanol mixed in gasoline is 50 percent more expensive per liter than basic gasoline. However, the ceiling price of biofuel is part of the plan to reduce the amount of money from the Oil Fund that must be subsidized, but the Office of the National Energy Policy Council (ONEC) has never seen such action. https://www.tcc.or.th/16082567_oil-fuel_fund_news/#:~:text So Oil and diesel prices are higher in Thailand as a result of mixing with biofuels

I think you will find ICEV still on the road 50 years from now I am sure if you could time travel back to 1908 and ask Henry Ford do you expect people to be still driving your new model T in 2024 I think he would have laughed and said No chance “A new car remains in the Dutch fleet for an average of 19 years. The last petrol and diesel cars will come onto the market in 2034 and will stay on the road until approximately 2053." https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/07/half-of-petrol-stations-expected-to-close-in-next-decade/ There is currently approx 12 million ICEV cars on the road in Thailand it will take years for those vehicles to be replaced with BEV

After Ford increased for price of the Ranger Raptor by B30K January 2024 they are keeping this Top secret special deal on a need to know basis and they must be eliminating any one that knows the top secret deal as to date it hasn't been leaked to the media or the Ford facebook Groups This Chart is from June 30th it doesn't include the latest MG price reductions Neta V price reductions, Deepal price reductions or Volvo price reductions https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=485876037294148&set=a.176402778241477

2 ICE vehicle brands out of how many on the EV side its virtually every brand with the execption of brand new brands entering the Thai market for the 1st time The huge difference between ICE vehicles in Thailand is they can and do export their vehicles to other countries where the Thai built EV don't yet meet the 40% local content to be exported via the ASEAN FTA agreement

Haven't seen big price reduction from ICEV Brands for new vehicles compared to EV brands With the EV Brands it is simply the case of oversupply more vehicles available than buyers hence we have seen Vinfast delay their entry into the Thai market and Brands they build both ICEV and EV scaled back their EV production

The granny/emergency charging cable is simply a method of connecting to any normal household plug so you can use it anywhere that has an a standard household plug outlet There is also a battery warranty for up to 8 years or 180,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, so you can rest assured and worry-free. https://www.mgcars.com/th/mg-models/new-mg-zs-ev/maintenance I think the warranty on the rest of the car is 4 years or 120,000 KM which ever comes first maybe @KhunLA can confirmed if correct or not As you appear to be buying your 1st car in Thailand you should be aware 1st year insurance is normally included in the price 2nd year you have to pay for yourself and cheapest is not always the best you need to look at the Capital amount for each quote that you received the Capital amount is what the insurance company will pay you in the event the car is written off

You will find there will always be somone interested just for the battery pack alone as that can been used for solar power at home prices on facebook for 2022 MG ZS EV models are currently around B460K

Personally I think the Goverment given the state of the market/economy should offer the brands if they want they can delay 50,000 of the 84,195 into 2026 or 2027 but on condition that local content will be a minimum of 80% when they start building again Most of the various facebook groups are hoping for a huge price reductions during the December or March motorshows I can't it happening myself I also expect that Byd will postpone launch of blade 2 battery until one of their competitors launches a similar battery with 1,000km range and 30% cheaper

I think most of the brands that took part in EV 3.0 subsidy are praying that the Thai Goverment will offer them a lifeline Total BEV sales to 30th September stands at 40,464 Under EV 3.0 84,195 imported vehicles in 2022 and 2023 66,448 imported in 2024 So to meet EV 3.0 brands have to locally build 84,195 based on 1 to 1 ratio those build have to compete with 66,448 imported in 2024 so total number of vehicles is 150,643 The Thai locally built vehicles can't be exported unless they meet the 40% local content rule So we have 150,643 new vehicles of which 40.464 have been sold leaving 110,179 unsold EV sector crisis as Chinese firms are trapped between lack of demand and government tax penalties Thai EV crisis: Chinese firms struggle with overproduction and government tax penalties threat amid falling global demand. With rising household debt and regulatory hurdles, manufacturers face tough choices—either ramp up production at a loss or repay hefty subsidies and waived import taxes on EV cars coming from China. Thailand’s brave new EV manufacturing world is in crisis. The sector, which has seen Chinese firms invest billions, is now suffering a market glut as demand for EV cars, both in Thailand and across the world except for China, falls. This year has seen the industry tilt decisively towards HEV or hybrid vehicles. At this time, it is being reported that Chinese firms in Thailand are holding urgent talks with the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok. The firms are bound under Thailand’s 3.0 and 3.5 incentive schemes to ramp up production to match the number of imported vehicles here. However, unable to find export markets for the cars, they are left with a vast dilemma: either manufacture cars that no one wants or pay back subsidies and import tax waivers with penalties on each imported car to the Thai government. Something has to give either on one side or the other https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/09/16/ev-sector-crisis-as-chinese-firms-are-trapped-between-lack-of-demand-and-government-tax-penalties/

Thats the problem when you look at figures month by month instead of year In the Uk Decembe is one of the favourite months where manufacturer and dealers sell new cars to themselves as pre registration On Auto Trader for 2022 used cars with less than 100 miles on vehicle 2022 69 less than 100 miles 27 petrol 1 diesel 32 electric 9 hybrid On Auto Trader for 2023 used cars with less than 100 miles on vehicle 2023 726 less than 100 miles 327 Petrol 59 Diesel 219 Electric 120 Hybrid 1 Bi Fuel On Auto Trader for 2024 used cars with less than 100 miles on vehicle 2024 6204 less than 100 miles 2,902 Petrol 629 Diesel 1,126 Electric 1,533 Hybrid 1 Bi Fuel Expect a bumper month in December for pre sales

I must admit your unbalanced view of EV sales in the UK did bring a chuckle to my face according to you UK will hit the 22% target where the SMMT states that is likely the industry will miss that target for both new car sales (22%) and Van sales(10%) UK SMMT has recently written a letter to Rachel Reeves MP Chancellor of the Exchequer "So far this year, one in six new car buyers has chosen a ZEV.1 Volumes are up but market share is barely moving. The van transition is even more challenged – with ZEVs accounting for just one in 20 registrations.2 The ZEV mandate demands 22% of every brand’s new car sales and 10% of new van sales be zero emission in 2024. As an industry we will likely miss those targets and a significant number of brands face the prospect of either buying credits from another company or paying swingeing compliance payments.

My Post shows that Norway still has a long away to go before every single private vehicle registered is an BEV or PHEV

The legal guardian was shamed into returning the money which has now been given to the father and relatives who were taking care of the child they have indicated they will give a % to the legal guardian

One of the recent cases involving the bus it was the legal guardian of the child that left her child to be raised by relatives maybe showing up once a year to see their child and was very quick to claim the 1.2 million baht compensation

Norway does an excellent job of producing stats In 2023 Total number of private cars including ambulances, combined vehicles and motor homes was 2,886 795 ICE vehicles total was 1,990,605 and combined BEV and PHEV was 896,190 giving BEV and PHEV market share of 45% or all private cars including ambulances, combined vehicles and motor homes registered in 2023 https://www.ssb.no/en/transport-og-reiseliv/landtransport/statistikk/bilparken

This chart shows the price of cars in Yuan and the equivalent price in THB and then it shows the price of the same vehicle when it arrives in Thailand as you can see the increase in price for Thailand varies by Brand with Byd with the lowest price increase for Thailand Some of the vehicles listed are not part of EV 3.5 subsidy agreement and therefore are subject to normal customs duties but it does show overall that the prices of EV's are cheaper in China compared to Thailand https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3247565412044635&set=gm.7927927447327783&idorvanity=2389905174463399

R.Y.1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people for September total number 36,567 Number of EV's 4,495 market share 12.3% As for the UK SMMT has recently written a letter to Rachel Reeves MP Chancellor of the Exchequer "So far this year, one in six new car buyers has chosen a ZEV.1 Volumes are up but market share is barely moving. The van transition is even more challenged – with ZEVs accounting for just one in 20 registrations.2 The ZEV mandate demands 22% of every brand’s new car sales and 10% of new van sales be zero emission in 2024.

" https://www.smmt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/UK-Auto-Open-letter-to-the-Chancellor-ZEV-incentives-call.pdf It would appear that the SMMT doesn't agree with your assement that the UK is storming ahead with EV's

The MG ZS EV on the website is the current model that was launched in March 2022 New model might be named as MG S5 as they have done in other countries https://www.mgcars.com/th/mg-models/new-mg-zs-ev/overview As for landlord best to contact them and see what they say where you are working do they offer EV charging facilites
