MG EP The company has inspected the vehicle. The cause was found to be due to high humidity in the compressor of the air conditioning system, causing the insulation resistance to be lower than standard. In this regard, the company's technical staff has taken action to fix the vehicle to return to normal operation at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 31, 2024. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=25088022010813602&set=pcb.7299101756877025 https://www.facebook.com/groups/2389905174463399/permalink/7299101756877025

I think you are dreaming you posted the same question 24th January 2024 and for atto3 rental is around 28-30k per month https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/page/154/#comment-18641254

Here is a website that explains the relationship between OEM ( GWM being an OEM ) and there suppliers At the end of the day it is always the OEM that has the final call on the price point of each component part Tier 1 suppliers are the top dogs. They manufacture and supply automotive-grade parts and systems directly to the OEMs. They have built their businesses on long-term relationships with these OEMs, with whom they often jointly set cost targets and share product developments. https://www.indx.com/en/posts/driving-innovation-for-automotive-suppliers#:~:text=The automotive supply chain can,parts needed by Tier 1. OEM will have contracts with Tier 1 suppliers Tier 1 suppliers will have contracts with Tier 2 suppliers Tier 2 and 3 suppliers normally don't have any contracts with the OEM

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

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
