  1. I expect the models B1,300,000 will have the larger long range batteries Anything below B1,100,000 will have the lower range batteries
  2. However, in principle there should be a federation of Chinese car manufacturers. To act as a mediator for discussions not only in preventing price wars but also as a mediator in coordinating with the government sector. and various documents related to investment When the reporter asked about the case of a Chinese electric car manufacturer being considered a zero-dollar tour that came to do business in Thailand, Mr. Kritsada said that first of all, we must understand that a zero-dollar tour means tourism that the company Chinese tours bring in tourists. And then take them to buy goods and services from Chinese investors only, which does not create benefits for Thailand. It is different from the automotive industry where those doing business must invest in purchasing land to set up a factory. and will have to construct a factory Including paying taxes and must be employed This is impossible for only Chinese people. I am not aware of any industry from Cars, mobile Phones TV's where “NORMALLY, THE LAUNCH OF A NEW MODEL INCREASES THE PRICE OF THE PREVIOUS MODEL. In fact its the complete opposite where manufacturer will discount their old inventory to clear their old stock BYD for example discounts of up to B250,000 on 2023 models. The only other option manufacturers have to avoid discounting old inventory is simple produce less Problem for BEV only manufacturer's they have no choice to produce less where other manufacturer's if they see BEV not selling well they can scale back their EV production lines and switch to Hybrid, diesel or petrol which ever is selling well in the market place
  3. Rever Automotive, BYD's official Thai distributor, on Wednesday told Bangkok area dealers to aim to sell 7,000 units at the motor show to clear Atto SUV and Dolphin hatchback inventory. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/EV-makers-offer-deep-discounts-as-Thai-auto-market-weakens So BYD didn't managed to clear their 2023 inventory of Atto and Dolphin models

  5. A reservation confirms that you plan to place an order and holds your place. An order is the actual purchase of your selected vehicle
  6. Suggest you pay a visit to Thailand version of specsavers if you don't know the difference between reservations and sales these are reservations will have to wait for May and June registrations data to see how many reservations were converted to full sales
  7. Correction these are reservations will have to wait for May and June registrations data to see how many reservations were converted to full sales Thailand’s automobile sales slumped to a 29-month low in January, as banks rejected about 50% of total auto loan requests amid alarming household debt levels. https://www.gulf-times.com/article/679396/business/thailands-central-bank-open-to-reviewing-neutral-stance-in-april

  9. Hybrid do reduce exhaust emissions and will be lower than similar petrol or diesel vehicles There is still no solution for EV owners that are unable to charge at home
  10. It would appear that car buyers in Thailand prefer HEV to BEV
  11. Sales figures for BEV in Thailand for 2024 8,670 Sales figures for HEV in Thailand for 2024 23,958
  12. I flew last year with China airlines in PE which has fixed fixed shell type of seats very relaxing flight more so knowing that if there was a thieving scumbag in front they couldn't steal any of my paid for space. What I don't like with some airlines where on the 1st leg they only offer cattle class and its only on the 2nd leg that they offer PE, I only look for airlines that offer PE for the entire route which is only 3-4 airlines
  13. Hybrid will be around for quite a while as they also qualify for incentives The Government of Thailand has instituted fiscal incentives designed to make hybrid vehicles more attainable for the general populace. Such initiatives include diminished taxation rates and subsidies aimed at encouraging a shift towards environmentally friendly automotive options. These efforts are indicative of a broader dedication to reducing the nation’s carbon emissions and fostering a market for clean transportation alternatives. https://thethaiger.com/guides/automotive/are-hybrid-vehicles-the-smart-choice-for-thailands-future-mobility#:~:text=
  14. I tend to choose airlines that have fixed shell type of seats that way when the inconsiderate prick in front reclines they only reclining in their seat space
  15. MG ZS EV refuses to start after charging, leaves me stranded HV Battery Shut Off https://www.team-bhp.com/news/mg-zs-ev-refuses-start-after-charging-leaves-me-stranded What is the cause of the HV Battery Shut off problem?? https://evguarantee.net/2023/01/08/ประเด็นดัง-ปัญหารถดับ-hv-battery-shut/ Solve the HV Battery Shut Off symptom of MG electric cars after charging with DC and the car shuts down
  16. Not any more Toyota Yaris CROSS : 789,000 – 899,000 all 3 models are hybrid, Honda city HEV price starts from B769K
  17. It seems that most car buyers in Thailand agree with you since hybrid is the 3rd most popular choice after petrol and diesel with 122,190 hybrid's registered since January 2023 with Honda and Toyota taking the lion share of the Hybrid market
  18. Compare the price of Chinese electric cars at the time of launch VS now, how much is it reduced to in 2024? Is it more economical to buy first or buy later? https://droidsans.com/ev-price-compare-between-launch-time-vs-now/ CHANGAN Deepal offering Free first class insurance for 2 years
  19. See post from @Mr Meeseeks When ever there is a change in value of the vehicle on a loan application the approval process for finance has to start from the beginning with the revised value It looks like you got lucky again and dodge a bullet not buying that MG EP/EP+ many reports in the facebook groups of losing power I have to say well done to BYD for providing refunds to anyone that bought a BYD from January 1st 2024 against the current pricing reductions
  20. And the Thaiger article was also written in BP was authored by Pinyo Tanawatcharaporn, the former president of the Association of Used Cars. And while you are correct that banks and financial institutions based their loans on appraised value if the value drops in value during the application process they will start the application approval from the beginning against the new revised appraised value I have seen it happen many times during mortgage applications where if the seller accepts a reduce offer it starts a new application approval
  21. Clearly you didn't read or understand the article 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 When chevrolet announced their 50% firesale financial institutions immediately suspended any future loans against chevrolet vehicles maybe they were concerned about customers ending up with negative equity on the car loan
  22. ICE repos financial institutions are willing to provide loans, EV repos financial institutions are unwilling to provide loans on used models you go to your bank ask for a loan for a used ev for x amount and advise the bank at the same that the value of the EV may drop by up to B250,000 in the next 4 weeks because the manufacturer as reduce the price on new models to generate new sales Bank will tell you come back 4 weeks later when the price has dropped
  23. Electric vehicle market faces risk from non-performing loans “The association expects to see EV seizures increase in the second half of this year.” 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 I am not sure I would call it a thriving second hand market as these finance institutions will sell for whatever they can get and then go after the original buyer for the outstanding balance
  24. Was that a Panasonic Professional Display model starting with TH Panasonic Professional went through a period of asking their engineers to design monitors without cost restraints placed on them all models were designed without a built in tuner early models around 2000 started at approx £6,000 for 42" models
