Meanwhile in China limited placed on % of new energy vehicles on ferries Myriad of issues for NEV owners The difficulty in securing ferry tickets for NEVs leaving the island is mainly due to Hainan’s Department of Transportation rule that the number of NEVs carried on a ship must not exceed 10% of the ship’s vehicle quota, and the total number of vehicles must not exceed 18. This is because the environment of a passenger ferry could compromise the safety of electric vehicle (EV) batteries — NEVs are prone to fire in high temperatures or when they are not charged properly. https://www.thinkchina.sg/more-chinese-ev-brands-falter-market-realigns

It tells us that 69% of all EV's sold last year was sold in the Bangkok area 31% were sold in the rest of the country and this post indicates that EV's have a long way to go to crush the legacy auto brands Number of cumulative sales of each brand, January - December 2023 Number 1: Toyota, sales of 265,949 vehicles Market share 34.3% Number 2: Isuzu, sales of 151,935 units Market share 19.6% Number 3: Honda, sales of 94,336 units Market share 12.2% Number 4: Ford, sales of 36,483 units Market share 4.7% Number 5: Mitsubishi, sales of 32,668 units Market share 4.2% https://www.headlightmag.com/2024-01-10-sales-report-2023/ Number 6: BYD, sales of 30,432 vehicles Market share 3.9%

I disagree and if my post meant nothing why do you bother to reply if you want to read a post that means nothing I suggest you re-read your own post I think all the ICE vehicle dealerships are worried.

I always stated the listings were provinces where the vehicles were registered it was you that posted where the EV owners actually live and still no supporting evidence from anyone to dispute my posts

my statement is supported by a media link your statement is supported by empty nothing highest number of registrations is Bangkok, with 52,751 vehicles, which means 69% of all EV's sold last year was sold in the Bangkok area 31% were sold in the rest of the country Chiang Mai, with 3,083 vehicles, and in third place is Chonburi, with 2,392 vehicles. Number 4 is Songkhla Province with 1,614 cars, Khon Kaen 1,409 cars, Rayong 1,283 cars, Ubon Ratchathani 1,190 cars, Surat Thani 1,177 cars, Phuket 1,039 cars and Udon Thani 965 cars https://www.newsdirectory3.com/analysis-of-electric-vehicle-registrations-in-thailand-and-expansion-of-charging-stations/

I can't see Starmer every adopting this policy since its has Jeremy Corbyn name all over it

Number of cumulative sales of each brand, January - December 2023 Number 1: Toyota, sales of 265,949 vehicles Market share 34.3% Number 2: Isuzu, sales of 151,935 units Market share 19.6% Number 3: Honda, sales of 94,336 units Market share 12.2% Number 4: Ford, sales of 36,483 units Market share 4.7% Number 5: Mitsubishi, sales of 32,668 units Market share 4.2% https://www.headlightmag.com/2024-01-10-sales-report-2023/ Number 6: BYD, sales of 30,432 vehicles Market share 3.9%

But true number of ev's sold in Mae Hong Son Province in 2023 is 1 and once you go outside of Bangkok EV sales Chiang Mai, with 3,083 vehicles, and in third place is Chonburi, with 2,392 vehicles. Number 4 is Songkhla Province with 1,614 cars, Khon Kaen 1,409 cars, Rayong 1,283 cars, Ubon Ratchathani 1,190 cars, Surat Thani 1,177 cars, Phuket 1,039 cars and Udon Thani 965 cars https://www.newsdirectory3.com/analysis-of-electric-vehicle-registrations-in-thailand-and-expansion-of-charging-stations/

Toyota anticipates a record net profit of $30.3B for the fiscal year ending March, fueled by increased sales of hybrid vehicles across significant markets.7 days ago https://inside.com/campaigns/inside-business-2024-03-06-41884 Toyota’s Hybrid-First Strategy Is Delivering Big Profits Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, has been criticized for selling few electric vehicles, but its decision to focus on hybrids is paying off financially. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/09/business/toyotas-hybrid-electric-vehicles.html It doesn't appear that Toyota is desperately trying to hang on for their survival,

Plenty of unhappy Tesla owners out there Tesla owners are angry about buying their vehicles right before the latest big price cuts—and are letting Elon Musk know: ‘I feel completely duped’ https://fortune.com/2023/09/02/tesla-owners-angry-at-elon-musk-after-new-price-cuts/ MOTORING New Zealanders share regrets over buying Teslas https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/lifestyle/2023/09/new-zealanders-share-regrets-over-buying-teslas.html Disapproval Of Elon Musk Top Reason Why Tesla Model 3 Owners Jump Ship: Survey Concerns about quality or service are the second reason why Model 3 owners sell their cars and buy from another brand. https://insideevs.com/news/679146/elon-musk-disapproval-top-reason-for-brand-change/ I have yet to see a single forum member post on here that they are the proud owner of a Tesla other than someone posting they own Tesla stock

That 26 Ciaz's sold in 1 month compared to 1 EV sold in Mae Hong Son Province sold for the whole of 2023 it reminds me of Matt Lucas's character Dafydd Thomas, 'the only gay in the village clearly once you step outside of Bangkok, There is little interest in EV's second place is Chiang Mai, with 3,083 vehicles, and in third place is Chonburi, with 2,392 vehicles. Number 4 is Songkhla Province with 1,614 cars, Khon Kaen 1,409 cars, Rayong 1,283 cars, Ubon Ratchathani 1,190 cars, Surat Thani 1,177 cars, Phuket 1,039 cars and Udon Thani 965 cars https://www.newsdirectory3.com/analysis-of-electric-vehicle-registrations-in-thailand-and-expansion-of-charging-stations/

The same could be said about EV's However, for the provinces with the lowest number of EV vehicle registrations last year, Mae Hong Son Province, 1 vehicle and not much better in other provinces Number 4 is Songkhla Province with 1,614 cars, Khon Kaen 1,409 cars, Rayong 1,283 cars, Ubon Ratchathani 1,190 cars, Surat Thani 1,177 cars, Phuket 1,039 cars and Udon Thani 965 cars. https://www.newsdirectory3.com/analysis-of-electric-vehicle-registrations-in-thailand-and-expansion-of-charging-stations/

According to this article BYD look like their 1st pickup will be a gas hybrid As for the power option that BYD chooses to launch first in 2024, it will be a gasoline engine. It works with a plug-in hybrid electric motor (PHEV), while a pure electric version (BEV) will be ready for sale in 2025. https://www.headlightmag.com/2024-01-10-spyshots-byd-truck/ I think there are plenty of Ford F150 lighting owners wishing they had delayed their purchases so maybe better to wait for BYD 3rd generation pickup trucks

The MG that your driving is from a legacy auto brand as they are currently MG 100th years of making cars

To revoke the license it still has to be approved by a court “The Phuket provincial hall, through public prosecutors will ask a court to dissolve the elephant foundation, https://www.chiangraitimes.com/news/elephant-sanctuary-in-phuket/

I am not sure about that if the insurance company asked to see the police report and the police reported stated she was arrested for acting as a taxi service which is outside the remit of her work permit

With the Norwegian lady driving a branded company car with customers to the ferry in the event of a serious accident would the resort car insurance accept liability assuming she was in the wrong and pay out or would they try to wiggle out based on she was doing something not within her work permit, If the resort's car insurance wiggled out and refused to accept liability the next step would be to try and claim against the resort's insurance or would they wiggle out on the same basis most insurance companies i know will try to avoid paying out if they can find a way out Common sense and insurance doesn't always go together in agreement

One media outlet has labelled it The David Effects Think of all those homeowners that last month had land titles to their properties only to have those land titles revoked Or all the homeowners who had access to their own exclusive beach now to be told your own exclusive beach will be now shared with the general public that also must effect property values as your own private beach must have a higher value than you will have access to a public beach And all the people that have had their collar felt by local police there must have been serious words sent from Bangkok sort it or else

Some media outlets are reporting that the elephant sanctuary licence will be revoked other media outlets such as BP are reporting that the elephant foundation created in 2021 its license will be revoked In this article it states Authorities have already withdrawn the licenses for a pistol and rifle. Mr Fehr owned the pistol, while the Elephant Foundation owned the rifle. https://www.chiangraitimes.com/news/elephant-sanctuary-in-phuket/

The Minister of Interior has stated the visa revocation is a completely separate issue from the court case The court case is brought under Section 295. The penalty is imprisonment not exceeding 2 years or a fine not exceeding 40,000 baht, or both. if found guilty https://www.thairath.co.th/news/local/south/2769136 Police Colonel Itthipol Itthisaranachai, Superintendent of Immigration Division 6, The report highlighted the individual's behavior, indicating multiple incidents of misconduct, totaling 3-4 times, which adversely affected the peace and happiness of the people in the country, posing a threat to society. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=saved&v=419778263900124 I would suspect that the Police have access to information that is not in the public domain Remember his visa was revoked under section 12 Immigration Act, B.E. 2522 7 Having behavior which would indicated possible danger to the public or likelihood of being a nuisance or constituting any violence to the peace or safety of the public or to the security of the public or to the security of the nation, or being under warrant of arrest by competent officials of foreign governments.

Buying this time of the year you have to be careful as it could be a 2024 model with a build date of November/December 2023 and it may have been sitting in a showroom somewhere without plates Normally if the buyer asks these builds offer the highest discount

I went to a couple of Toyota dealership in 2022 and the waiting list for Toyota corolla cross was 4-6 months Most ICE Brands prefer to build just in time and the vehicle is already sold to either a dealer or end customer has it rolls off the production line The days of fields stacked with cars waiting to be sold are long gone

EV 3.0 was a higher subsidy but EV 3.5 has resulted in lower total price on some models so not sure how EV 3.0 can be described as a better subsidy March figures wouldn't contain any of the cars sold at the Motorshow those figures wouldn't show up until May or June registrations figures are released

I expect the March figures will be slightly better than February figures but still down on January figures with all the yoyo pricing and discounting that started In January this year some buyers in the facebook groups are complaining that for certain models the overall price for cars under EV subsidy are more favorable under EV 3.5 compared to EV 3.0 While yoyo pricing and discounting does attract new interest they seen how the price has dropped compared to a few months ago and their concern is buy now or wait and see for further price reductions And yoyo pricing and discounting puts off finance companies from lending as it makes them nervous over lending Similar scenario played out In China end of 2022 when buyers were urged to get their orders in before the end of the Chinese subsidy ended 31st December 2022 then Tesla announced huge price cuts https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/protesting-tesla-china-buyers-vow-more-pressure-over-price-cuts-they-missed-2023-01-10/ I see Byd in China has reduced the price of the Seagull to 69,800 yuan or approx B350,000 I suspect it wouldn't be that price in Thailand
