Toyota Corolla Cross was any garage BYD Atto 3 was dealer “Currently insurance premiums for EVs are already about 20-30% higher than that of internal combustion engine vehicles,” he said. “This is because the repair and maintenance of EVs require diagnostics by skilled technicians, and any repair/replacement of battery must be thoroughly analysed by technicians of the manufacturers.” https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40025694 High repair costs contribute to pricey EV insurance premiums: Priceza The low number of electric cars on the road, high repair costs, lack of repair awareness, and the lack of components are responsible for the increased price of insurance for electric cars, according to car insurance price comparison website Priceza Money. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/economy/40028172

Your post is incorrect and misleading as you haven't stated that a potential saving of B460K is based on E91 remaining at B40.5 for the next 8 years and that you do 20Kms per year and keep the vehicle for 8 years as you haven't stated any of the above qualifications your post is misleading and incorrect If you post on a Public forum anyone has the right to reply if you want to send a msg to an individual member there is a pm facility on this forum

Its Easy you posts are misleading and incorrect and you been caught with your pants down again

Its Strange that you never mentioned in your original post to your ownership of your EV and present and & future savings at E91 prices today and yet you failed to mention that in the 2 years of ownership E91 prices ranged from potential B20.38 to B22.48 in 2020 B22.98 to B32.28 in 2021 Clearly your comment "Staggering #s, but the #s don't lie." in this case they do And you claim of saving over B 460k baht is a theoretical potential saving based on that E91 remains at the same price for the next year and you do 20,000 km per year and you kept the car for 8 years

No spin the Historical Retail Oil Prices state for the first 2 years of ownership 2020 and 2021 E91 never reached B35 or above only in 2022 did E91 exceed B35 or higher https://www.bangchak.co.th/en/oilprice/historical?year=2021

manufacturers that are taking part in the subsidy scheme are committed to build 1 vehicle in Thailand in 2024 for every vehicle that they sold if they are unable to start local production in 2024 they are committed to build 1.5 vehicles in 2025 BEV pickups are only eligible for the subsidy if they are built in Thailand After Jan 1st 2026 must use local produced battery The unknown is what will the price be of the made in Thailand EV will they be the same price as the imported EV ( with subsidy ) or will they be lower Will the manufacturers decide they wouldn't sell in Thailand they will use their Plants in Thailand purely for exports In 2026 if Chinese batteries are 30% lower than Thailand it would appear manufacturers are excluded from purchasing those batteries as they have to purchase local produced batteries https://kpmg.com/th/en/home/insights/2022/05/th-tax-news-flash-issue-130.html

You have no issue with diesel being used for the production and transportation of your products that you purchase I yet to see a car transporter ( 9 car load ) using an electric engine

A somewhat misleading post as the price of E91 over the past 8 years has ranged from lowest B16.68 in April 2020 to current high of B40.18 Using the above calculations price savings are from B190,628 to ฿462,857 I doubt that there is anyone on this forum that can predict the cost of E91 for the next 8 years going forward Historical Retail Oil Prices https://www.bangchak.co.th/en/oilprice/historical?year=2023

NCAP is for vehicles sold on the European market and built to European specs for Vehicles in Asia look at ASEAN NCAP New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP), a new addition to the NCAP family, is targeted to elevate vehicle safety standards, raise consumer awareness and thus encourage a market for safer vehicles in the region. https://v4-web.aseancap.org/

Pointless quoting Insurance premiums as so many different factors the major one being capital insured i.e how much will the insurance company pay if your car is written off for a 2022 MG EP+ model roojai quote approx B480,000 For a different make and model for car inital cost B1,300,000 I have seen a difference of capital as much as B200,000 between insurance company suggested by the brand versus company not suggested by the brand

We are now in September 2023 June 2023 is recent in my books The nytimes link dated 1st August 2023 puts both parties on 43%

Just because I posted poll numbers doesn't indicate that I believe them You regular post twaddle about Brexit support on the decline yet we both know there hasn't been a public vote on Brexit since 23rd June 2016 so we can take all your posts about Brexit with a pinch of salt as they are meaningless

As far as I am concerned the only poll that is valid and counts is the one that involves a person ticking a box on a ballot paper I see yougov usa recently published a poll that stated 41% of registered voters say they would vote for Biden and 41% would vote for Trump. I find that hard to believe but the poll is out there on the internet

Your statement is based on 2151 adults in GB that took part in a recent yougov poll now these 2151 people are people that are signed up to take part in yougov polls not you typical person in the street As you can see no awkward or difficult questions were asked about the Euro or other key issues of concern https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/5y66bpmr12/Internal_Brexit_230714.pdf

Seems that both the UK and the EU are on the naughty list when it comes to exports The EU and UK exported 1,000 tonnes of a banned pesticide to poorer countries, investigation reveals https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/the-eu-and-uk-exported-1000-tonnes-of-a-banned-pesticide-to-poorer-countries-investigation

When you talk about Brexit zealots are you referring to the 17,410,742 million people that voted in the 2016 European Union membership referendum and you are unable to accept the result of that referendum Are you Hillary Clinton I can recall reports of her saying "We should have done something to determine who was going to win"

The above post indicates that you didn't as you wouldn't have ask the question why leave HORIZON in the first place?

I yet to meet a single person that has said to me I am worried about the the position of the UK on the world political and diplomatic stage before or after Brexit

The UK left when the UK left the EU And there are many countries that are Participating Countries in Horizon Europe and they are not members of the EU Being in the Horizon Europe doesn't require EU membership

But not paying Billions in projects that the UK had no interest in The UK’s association deal is also financially very different from when it was a member of the EU. Then, its contribution to the research programmes were based on the size of its economy, without clawback mechanisms. That meant it was a big net winner from the Framework programmes because UK scientists were so successful. That needs to be viewed in the context that overall the UK was a net contributor to the EU budget, and as a member of the union could not pick and choose which programmes to join. https://sciencebusiness.net/news/brexit/how-uk-and-eu-did-deal-over-horizon-europe

In April 2022, the State Administration of Market Regulation (SAMR) announced a recall of 9,663 Tang DM-i cars saying a defect in the battery pack could cause fires. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/fans-take-byd-task-recall-confusion-clouds-chinese-ev-makers-image-2022-06-30/

I just find it amazing that not a single EV expert on this forum was aware of these issues as if you do a search not a single post regarding this issue has ever been posted

LG agrees to repay GM $1.9 billion over Chevy Bolt EV battery recall https://electrek.co/2021/10/12/lg-agrees-repay-gm-billion-over-chevy-bolt-ev-battery-recall/ Hyundai's headaches with LG cells started in 2020 after a number of Kona EVs caught fire in South Korea, Canada, Finland, and Austria. Globally, it recalled 82,000 cars for an expensive battery replacement at an estimated cost of $900 million. In this case, a folded anode tab in the battery cell could allow the lithium plating on the anode to contact the cathode, causing a short circuit. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/04/multiple-recalls-spark-fed-investigation-of-lgs-electric-car-batteries/#:~:text=Hyundai's headaches with LG cells,estimated cost of %24900 million.
