I not sure what common funds are available for condo buildings other than maintenance funds which comes from a levy charged against each condo owner and normally expenditure of those funds has to be approved by a management committee which is elected by the condos owners if a new condo owner wants an ev charging facility to be installed and he wants everyone to pay for the cost of that facility plus ongoing maintenance and servicing costs and they are the only ev owner in the building i suspect they have an uphill battle

Loads of posts from MG dealers on Facebook stating the B100,000 additional discount but there is a catch 1 week ago there was 3 years 1st class insurance on the table that has been reduced to 1 year And the free servicing for 5 years and the wall charger appears to be no longer available so if you look at the total cost for ownership for the 1st 5 years is there an additional B100,000 saving or just clever marketing Already there are a number of MG4 owners bitching about the price reduction and stating they will never buy another MG again

I think your living in fantasy land the cost of install Charging Stations and associated costs where possible should be funded by EV owners

Cant see how legislation will help for existing apartment & condo buildings in some cases its impossible to refit charging equipment and in many cases there is a huge distance between the apartment buildings and where the vehicles are parked Yes legislation will help for new buildings going forward but once again it will come down to some people want the charging facility but don't want to pay an additional cost for it

Problem for a lot of people is they simply don't have the facilities for BEV as they don't have access to a charging point at home At the moment their options are limited to Toyota Mira, Nio Battery swapping station model or expensive charging station away from home and hoping they always have sufficent charge to get to a number of charging stations as the nearest may be out of order I am sure in 5-10 years other options might come available but at the moment its limited

There is 2 generations of the Mirai you must be referring to Gen 1 as Gen 2 seems to have plenty of space in the back seat similar size to a Toyota Camry And although hydrogen is the principle source of the power that drives it, the Mirai is actually an electric car driven by electricity and electric motors. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-9540603/Toyota-Mirai-review-second-generation-hydrogen-fuel-cell-car.html

VHS lasted longer in the mainstream market than Betamax VHS was superseded by DVD which in turn has been superseded by Blu-ray

I do recall Betamax owners thinking they were the enlightened ones and looked what happened to them

But that hasn't been the case in all models Rover 75 and MG ZT diesel engine models used the same BMW engine M47

And yet both the Rover 75 and the MG version MG ZT are still sought after classic cars 18 years after the last car left the production line https://classicsworld.co.uk/guides/rover-75-buyers-guide/ And received multiple Awards and accolades spanning a period from 1999-2011 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_75

Are you sure about who pulls the strings n February 2020, Volvo and Geely announced that they had started formal discussions about a merger of business. Geely had owned 100% of Volvo, but Volvo Cars had largely been allowed autonomy with its resources.[44] These merger talks were later halted, and 18% of Volvo Cars shares were listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange in October 2021.[45] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Cars It would appear while both Brands develop joint ventures , Geely approach with Volvo is while your making a profit for us we will leave you to do your own thing

Actually SAIC didn't buy MG MG was sold to the Nanjing Automobile Group which later merge with SAIC On 15 April 2005, it was announced that SAIC had once again rejected pleas to buy out the company. SAIC seemed to be more interested in the Rover Brand which Ford purchased the vehicle marque from BMW if you look at the old Rover car badge and the Roewe badge they look similar in design and shape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roewe#:~:text=Roewe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_Rover_Group

People rarely will change political parties on a single issue item as seen with the Lib Dems in 2019 with Jo Swinson and her pledge to revoke Brexit without referendum

Have to wait until Zelensky Ukraine has joined before the EU would consider the UK for any EU accession process and will the support to rejoin remain if the UK has to use the Euro as currency

The MG Mulan which is the Chinese name for the MG4 electric and yes its a LHD its current price in China is RMB 115,800 yuan or B554,334 which means Chinese buyers pay 36% less than anyone buying in Thailand

This article indicates surplus stock hence price reductions In May, a large single shipment of 3,100 MG cars came to Australia, including the long range electric version. The price cuts may have something to do with surplus stock. But it’s good to see savings on EVs being passed onto those looking at making the switch. https://thedriven.io/2023/07/13/mg-slashes-price-of-long-range-version-of-zs-ev-as-electric-car-price-war-intensifies/ https://cnevpost.com/2023/07/13/saic-mg-cuts-mg-mulan-price-by-17-china/

Its not only Telsa that are cutting their prices most brands are suffering from over production producing more vehicles than they can sell As for incentives Lots of unhappy customers in China bought last year when the incentive scheme was closing only to find EV's cheaper in 2023 without incentives

Why would anyone be daft enough to buy an EV at the moment if we look at Tesla how many times have the reduce the price of their vehicles at least 6 or 7 times maybe more

That figure is for all EV sales since 2020

EV sales in Thailand comprised 3% of total automobile sales in 2022.

Personally growth of EV sales is 250% per annum. is misleading without setting a base rate as I said if the base rate is 10 EV's and the growth rate is 250% per annum that equals 25 EV's normally when people want to hide numbers they only ever list %

I think most people are aware when sales are one decline that prices go down as a result. Anyone that bought a new chevrolet and paid close to retail price end of January 2020 must have been gutted 3 weeks later when chevrolet announced 50% discount on a number of models I read as soon as chevrolet announced exit from Thailand all finance on new chevrolet was stopped

100% electric vehicle registrations in Thailand in July 2023 total 5,116 units | -33% decrease https://autolifethailand.tv/ev-bev-register-thailand-july-2023/ So EV sales in Thailand for July are down -33% or 2,521 EV's less sold than in June

Its funny when people post % if base line figure was 10 and you sold a further 25 per annum that would give you a growth rate of 250% per annum. VW electric car sales “fall to zero” as Tesla and China EV makers win price war Executives at some VW plants said demand for particular battery-electric models had fallen “to zero,” while car dealers pointed to a general reluctance of European consumers to buy electric cars, blaming subsidy cuts, high inflation and comparatively high prices. https://thedriven.io/2023/07/12/vw-electric-car-sales-fall-to-zero-as-tesla-and-china-ev-makers-win-price-war/ US EV market struggles with price cuts and rising inventories Rising inventories and price-cutting could represent only a short-term pause in EV market growth. But they could be signals that boosting U.S. EV sales above the current 7% market share level will be more costly and difficult than expected, even with federal and state subsidies. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/slow-selling-evs-are-auto-industrys-new-headache-2023-07-11/ Tesla's EV Sales in China Fell More Than 30% in July https://www.investopedia.com/tesla-s-ev-sales-in-china-fell-more-than-30-last-month-7569265 So that is US ,Europe and China where EV sales are on the decline

I can understand the A380 being better than the 777 in economy but does the same apply in Business as 777 are shown here with 12 inches more leg room and 2 inches more seat width https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Emirates_Airlines/fleetinfo.php
