Sorry to disppoint you but my comparison of non-smokers living in condos asking them to pay towards installing a smoking room with maintenance that they wouldn't use is the same as asking non ev owners to bay for chargers and maintenance both groups will stated we get no benefit from these services, we don't use these services and we have no intention of paying for something that we don't use So comparison stands and is valid

I suspect most condo building owners will go for the cheapest option and offer nothing

According to the results of the study of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, Each type of electric vehicle charging station requires an average investment of 2-3 million baht per installation of 1 AC or 1 DC unit with a parking space. with a payback period of approximately 2-4 years. https://www.thansettakij.com/property/531406

It will be interesting to see how that plays out When a condo building owner installs and provides a cleaning service for a smoking area they all receive complaints from non-smokers stating we refused to pay for that area A charging unit costs between 2-3 million baht plus maintenance I am sure the non ev owners will state we refused to pay any additional charge

Once again It would appear you have no sensible solutions

Did I say it was a frequent problem No I didn't but it does occur and it appears you are unable to provide a sensible solution

If your living in a condo and your vehicle has run out of fuel most people would go to the nearest garage with a jerry can get some petrol or diesel put in their cars and drive away. What do yo do if you have an electric vehicle.

Automotive manufacturers are the brands that everyone knows — Ford and Toyota and BMW and their competitors. These firms are commonly referred to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), While these manufacturers produce some original equipment, their real strength is in designing cars, marketing ordering the parts from suppliers, and assemble https://medium.com/self-driving-cars/the-automotive-supply-chain-explained-d4e74250106f If we step back in time approx 25 years OEM such as Ford and GM had their own manufacturing divisions Visteon being part of Ford and Delphi Technologies part of GM. Both Visteon and Delphi Technologies were sold off by their parent brand in the late 1990s Today most Automotive Brands retain their own manufacturing for key Components such as engine, gearbox sometimes wholly manufactured by the OEM/Brand and sometimes through Joint Ventures between OEM and XXX Tier 1 Suppliers Companies that supply parts or systems directly to OEMs are called Tier 1 suppliers. Some of these brands are recognizable, like Bosch or Continental. Some of them are less so. OEM approach Tier 1 suppliers and provide them for example specs of a battery that they require for vehicle xxx which will be sold in these countries .The Oem will specify the length of warranty required and the criteria of what is required for a warranty claim. When Tier 1 suppliers submit their bid cost to OEM built into that bid cost is amount that is set aside for warranty claims The OEM manages the warranty claims system on behalf of the end customer and their Tier 1 suppliers and their own manufacturing divisions Auto Parts Supplier Warranty Report: Slowly but surely, the companies that manufacture powertrain components such as engines and transmissions have seen their share of the warranty expenses rise, https://www.warrantyweek.com/archive/ww20200326.html Customers want longer extend warranties but don't want to pay for those longer warranties through increased cost of vehicles As for dealerships some oem would prefer to sell directly to end customer if they were allowed to Why Can’t Car Manufacturers Direct Sell to Consumers? Every car manufacturer has to play by certain rules when it comes to selling their vehicles. There are a number of laws that strictly prohibit a manufacturer from selling directly to their consumers. https://www.motorhills.com/why-cant-car-manufacturers-direct-sell-to-consumers/#:~:text=It isn't illegal for,saving a ton of money.

Ford dealers are defying company orders with insane F-150 Lightning markups https://www.teslarati.com/ford-dealers-are-defying-company-orders-with-insane-f-150-lightning-markups/ For Most automakers every vehicle that comes off the production line is already sold to a dealer in most cases the dealer already has received an order from an end customer

I see some some brands have closed their Reservation program for ordering new EV, some dealers who are independent franchises from the automakers are applying additional markups ranging from $40,00-$70,000 USD I doubt US automakers are losing money on building vehicles as that would result in bankruptcy or closure similar some people are hoping that brands in Thailand will absorb increased battery costs which some have increased by 500%

No In 2019 if you purchased hyundai kona in the US it came with a lifetime battery warranty ( Original owner only) That was withdrawn for 2020 and now they offer High-voltage battery 10 years / 200,000km ( US not sure about other countries)

In some countries the duration of the warranty is enforced by Goverment agencies In the US they have stated if you want to sell Most automakers have an 8 to 10-year or 100,000 miles warranty period on their batteries. This is because federal regulation in the U.S. mandates that electric car batteries be covered for a minimum of eight years. https://www.greencars.com/guides/definitive-guide-to-electric-car-batteries-range

Is there a reason why major online insurance brokers wouldn't provide an online quote for EV vehicles I did see a post where insurance quotes for EV vehicles start for 26K baht upwards First case, change the whole battery The famous brand of electric train is stunned with a price of 540,000 baht https://www.thaipost.net/economy-news/138578/ Maybe this is why 50% of the vehicle cost in a single component

MG ZS EV refuses to start after charging, leaves me stranded I finished the charging, unplugged and tried to start the car. To my horror, the car simply refused to start and kept on giving “HV Battery Shutoff” & “Vehicle Control System Fault”. But turns out that I had tried to start the AC through the app before the charging had finished. This small mistake of mine converted into a huge nightmare for me. https://www.team-bhp.com/news/mg-zs-ev-refuses-start-after-charging-leaves-me-stranded

I think your missing the point limited number of EV owners on this forum equals limited feedback postive or negative If there was an EV forum is the US or UK and they stated you can post in any language except English I wouldn't expect the number of posts to be relative to the EV owners of those countries
