This article indicates that if EV drivers wish to minimize potential legal action against them they should conform to rule 239 of the highway code https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1722212/electric-cars-highway-code-laws-warning-charging-cable

Agreed some of the photos on this thread are clearly danger to pedestrians walking on the pavements Highway Code has recently been updated Rule 239 When using an electric vehicle charge point, you should park close to the charge point and avoid creating a trip hazard for pedestrians from trailing cables. Display a warning sign if you can. After using the charge point, you should return charging cables and connectors neatly to minimise the danger to pedestrians and avoid creating an obstacle for other road users. Laws CUR regs 98, 105, 107 & 110, RVLR reg 27 & RTA 1988 sect 42 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/waiting-and-parking-238-to-252 If anyone was to injured themselves due to charging cables trailing across the pavements it would be an open and shut case for claiming damages

I don't think the UK does allow EV charging cables to be lying on the ground. I am sure if these pictures were sent to the local council the owners would receive a penalty notice Here the article that the pictures came from EXCLUSIVE: Blind charity slams electric car owners who dangle charging cables across the pavement and force pedestrians to dice with death by walking in the road Unsafe charging cables were pictured in Wandsworth and Islington Leading charities have slammed the infrastructure as 'ludicrous' and 'unsafe' https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-12090071/Fury-selfish-electric-car-owners-dangling-charging-cables-pavement.html

It seems Malaysia is no different to Thailand when it comes to EV charging in condos Most condos and apartments in Malaysia still against allowing EV chargers – right-to-charge law soon? Reasons commonly used by the JMB or MC to reject EV charger installations include: having messy wiring on parking level ceilings, not being able to charge the electricity use back to the user, not wanting to overload the building electricity distribution board (DB), “wait until there are more EVs here lah,” and more.https://paultan.org/2023/10/13/most-condos-and-apartments-in-malaysia-still-against-allowing-ev-chargers-right-to-charge-law-soon/ ‘Long road ahead for EV charging stations in condos’ PETALING JAYA: Despite the government’s ambitious roadmap to have 10,000 Electric Vehicle Charging Bays (EVCBs) nationwide by 2025, including in high-rise properties, there remain barriers to getting EV charging stations into residential buildings. Federation of Malaysia Electric Vehicle Associations president Datuk Seri Jason Lee said many condominium boards and management bodies are still against having EVCBs, thus denying EV car owners the convenience of charging at home. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2023/10/13/long-road-ahead-for-ev-charging-stations-in-condos

Normal Charge (AC) 0% -100% takes about 8 hours. that is charging from home Quick Charge (DC) 30% - 80% takes about 30 minutes*. *Charging time depends on the remaining battery level and the power supply of the charging station. that would be charging from an commercial outlet such as petrol station

Some Councils are trialing Cable gullies such as Surrey County Council The trials are expected to run for a minimum of three years, with 30 cable gullies and 50 AON chargers being installed in the first year. A new quota will be agreed for the following years and if the trial is deemed successful, the limit on numbers will be removed. https://news.surreycc.gov.uk/2023/06/15/kerbside-electric-vehicle-charging-trial-launches-in-surrey/ Majority of UK councils have no kerbside EV chargers Investigation also finds nearly half of councils have no plans to install residential on-street chargers in 2023 More than two-thirds of UK councils have yet to install any kerbside EV chargers, with just over six years to go until the UK government’s ban on the sale of new pure-combustion cars comes into effect. An investigation conducted by Vauxhall as part of its new 'Electric Streets of Britain' campaign found that 69% of councils do not have an on-street charge point and that 71.6% lack a published strategy for on-street residential charging. Of the councils that responded to the investigation, 45% stated they had no plans to install residential on-street chargers this year. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/majority-uk-councils-have-no-kerbside-ev-chargers

Problem is when anyone attempts to artificially inflate figures it normally goes horribly wrong for the whole of 2023 the total number was 76,314 cars I expect the total figures for 2024 will be 114,471 cars an increase of 50% from 2023 yearly sales I expect the January total figure of 13,653 will not be maintained over the next 11 months

Correct and the Government doesn't release the subsidy ( Last year EV 3.0 was B150,000) to the brand/importer

As a rule manufacturers don't cut their prices if the product is selling so well that they are unable to build fast enough prices cuts are often for 3 reasons lack of consumer interest Oversupply price reductions from competitors I have yet to see Apple Inc adopt this new pricing strategy of look our products are selling so well we should reduce the price The price of a high-end iPhone has increased 66% since 2009.

Extremely unlikely in Thailand most manufacturers build Just in Time and the majority of manufacturers have a minor change to their vehicles every year so for example Toyota normally does it minor change in May or June actually they do published the details on their websites so for example in 2023 you could buy a vehicle in July 2023 with 2024 specs or if you purchased from existing stock it could be 2023 specs

My point is when your order a car without specifying manufacturing months on the order form the dealership , if the dealer has one in stock that has been sitting around for 6-8 months that's the vehicle your more than likely end up with Now when you order if you say to the dealer you will only accept a vehicle that's has a manufacturing age of not more than 2 months old from your order date then the dealer can't try and supply you with a vehicle that has been in stock for 6-8 months The build date is listed in the blue book

What you should do is before you place a deposit , on the order form is specify a manufacturing month such as no older than 2 or 3 months from order date some dealers will tell you they can't guarantee that they can meet your manufacturing months requirement's however when you advise them your going to a different dealership they will say they can meet your manufacturing months requirement's once it down on the order form they have to deliver or risk having an wanted car in their showroom and having to refund your initial deposit

ts important to know what other dealers are prepared to offer before you decide to walk into your preferred dealership If you post in thai on the facebook groups you will receive many offers, majority of them will only be interested in low payment installment deals as they offer large comission to the sales agent. stick firm and state your only interested in cash deals. if they ask for a phone number give them a phone number of a Thai speaker the manufacturer sets the price and the manufacturer does build in a discount margin for the dealer to operate in, but if the dealer can get away with selling a vehicle at the manufacturer price more profit for the dealer, for certain months the manufacturer offers extra incentives to a dealer for buying the vehicle If you look at online insurance where they asked for the manufacturing month on the quote normally a December 2023 build has a lower capital value than a January 2024 build From March 2024 dealers will be looking to offload their 2023 stock Its a no-brainer you go into a showroom and a dealer tries to sell a 2023 model in stock for the same price as a 2024 model maybe with a 2 week delivery timeframe For a vehicle costing B1.3 Million baht depending on brand and model for a late 2023 model you should get approx 15-17% off list price with full warranty for a 2024 model discount will range from 7-8% Stay clear of the spare or demo cars once a set of plates are put on the car that when the warranty countdown starts

Shamima Begum interview by the Times was published February 13th 2019 According to court documents published 22 February 2023 On 18th February 2019 the Secretary of State was provided with a Ministerial Submission, backed by other statements and assessments, recommending that Ms Begum be deprived of her British citizenship.

she held Bangladeshi provisional citizenship by descent through her parents by virtue of section 5 of the Bangladesh Citizenship Act 1951 she needed to apply for full Bangladesh Citizenship before the age of 21 When the UK removed her British citizenship she was not stateless as she had access to Bangladesh Citizenship. She has made herself stateless by not applying for full Bangladesh Citizenship before the age of 21 In your example your British citizenship could be removed as you have access to Irish citizenship by your grandfather . If you didn't have access to Irish citizenship then the UK wouldn't be permitted to remove your UK citizenship
