Correct I was talking about the Mar-Apr 2024 Motor Show 17,000 EV bookings which didn''t turn into registrations

in April of this year there was over 17,000 bookings for EV's But when you look at total ev sales for April,May those bookings didn't turn into registrations https://autolifethailand.tv/ev-register-oct-2024-thailand/ April 4,088 May 5,475

Chinese brands have recently been given permission to re-export any unsold EV's that have been imported https://www.wapcar.my/news/too-many-bevs-not-enough-buyers-thailand-opts-for-reexport-solution-to-ease-glut-83154 Most FTA agreements including the ASEAN FTA have requirements that vehicle products must contain at least 40% local content not every EV built in Thailand meets that requirement so currently vehicles are for domestic market only

This article explains the differences between current platform sold in Thailand and the evo 3 it does compare a car sold in Thailand with evo 3 sold in Norway as there is a mismatch between range figures in Thailand using NEDC vs WLTP range figures in Norway my understanding is if you divide the NEDC figures by 1.27 that will give you the WLTP equilvent https://www.car250.com/new-e-platform-3-0-evo.html How to convert NEDC values to WLTP https://www.autospinn.com/2022/09/car-ev-how-to-convert-nedc-cltc-epa-to-wltp-91190

same article in the Thai examiner Chinese EV players in Thailand may opt out of subsidies as a difficult year ends. But there is optimism for electric cars https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/12/06/chinese-ev-players-in-thailand-may-opt-out-of-subsidies-as-a-difficult-year-ends-but-there-is-hope/

There are some brands that are selling In Thailand without subsidies as they haven't signed the mou MOU to join the EV 3.5 import and production Geely is one Chinese brand that hasn't signed Since GEELY Auto did not sign the MOU to join the EV 3.5 import and production compensation project, it did not receive a 100,000 baht discount per vehicle. The official price announcement will be held at Motor Expo 2024 on November 28, 2024 @ Challenger Hall 1-3, Muang Thong Thani. https://autolifethailand.tv/geely-ex5-ev-bev-thailand-28nov-2024-thonburi/ The brands that did sign up are having a rethink and may withdraw from the EV 3.5 program which means they will have to build 1.5 cars for every car imported into Thailand between 2022 until the period where they withdraw from the EV 3.5 program but wouldn't be required to build 1.5 cars in Thailand for every car sold after they withdraw from EV 3.5 “Many firms are mulling over ditching the subsidies. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/thailand-ev-makers-reconsider-incentive-scheme-amid-market-slump EV makers mull forgoing subsidies https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/motoring/2915032/ev-makers-mull-forgoing-subsidies I am not aware of any excise tax that is applied to ICEV made in Thailand yes there are various import taxes for all vehicles including BEV if they are imported into Thailand excise tax depends on value on the vehicle and engine size

There should be little to no difference on the MG ZS currently on sale today to the MG ZS that you have been driving for the past 2 years

I went into a dealership and they offered less than the tent price so I assume the salesperson deducted their own commission for making the call to the tent I went to a number of tents and was offered a higher price for cash

I can remember back in the 70s there was a huge backlash in the USA over mandatory seatbelts and later drivers airbags automakers didn't want either option but at later date opted for seatbelts being less expensive than airbags https://www.history.com/news/seat-belt-laws-resistance

Named drivers for EVs's came into force June 1st this year as part of changes to EV insurance

The scope of any such mandate would be down to the people putting forward such laws if you go to MG and ask them to give you a written guarantee that they will never limited or place restrictions on EV acceleration I would expect the stock answer will be they have no plans to limited or place restrictions on EV acceleration all our cars currently comply with Thai laws but i suspect they will never provide you with a written guarantee that would put them in direct conflict if a law was passed in the future

Goverments will mandate if people are killed in high numbers especially if the high numbers are children

Porsche InnoDrive Porsche InnoDrive offers optimised speed control for additional comfort, higher efficiency and a driving experience typical for Porsche. Based on navigation data together with radar and video sensors, the driving speed is predictively adapted to speed limits and road topology (gradients, bends). Acceleration and deceleration (including coasting) are controlled by Porsche InnoDrive. The system's ability to anticipate distances of up to three kilometres, as well as real-time optimisation of the driving strategy, enable harmonious and efficient journeys. Porsche InnoDrive also automatically adjusts the speed to allow for bends, roundabouts and speed limits. It detects the distance to the vehicle in front and controls it even when a vehicle cuts in from the side. The basic design of the system is engineered for maximum comfort. It optimises the driving style in order to achieve the highest possible degree of smoothness with as few acceleration and braking processes as possible. https://media.porsche.com/mediakit/taycan/en/porsche-taycan/die-assistenzsysteme

Doesn't matter that you disagree or you think its impossible all it will take is a large number of child deaths and it will happen There is a company that offers a hardware based solution so software solutions will be available Here are some of the benefits on restricting acceleration The advantages of a RPM limiter: Increased mileage from a full battery charge. Enhanced comfort for passengers. Up to 20% longer range. Reduced wear and tear on brakes and tires. Improved efficiency of your vehicle. Configurable in combination with a speed limiter. https://www.zemco.eu/blogs/accelerator-limiter/

Electric vehicle acceleration poses 'risk and cost issues' for fleets Greater rates of acceleration for electric vehicles (EVs), compared to their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts, is creating potential fleet risk management and cost issues, FleetCheck is warning. Vehicles with this kind of performance would not just present a very real risk if drivers attempted to access the available performance on a public road, but there would be cost issues arising from excessive tyre and brake wear, he argues. “Of course, there have been privately-owned cars on public roads that go this fast for some years, but the numbers have been tiny,” he continued. https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/electric-vehicle-acceleration-poses-risk-and-cost-issues-for-fleets If we see a major accident that kills a huge number of children due to excessive and dangerous EV vehicle acceleration I would expect immediate mandates from governments to liimited the vehicle acceleration my understanding such a change would be implemented via a software update

It was @Yodarapper that posted he was looking at the atto3 extended and from his previous posts he stated ideally his preferance was for 7 seats has he has family coming over from Europe

New taxes for EVs Excise taxes will be lowered for HEV makers that make an additional investment of at least three billion baht from 2024 to 2027 and use local parts, Mr Narit said. Vehicles will also need to have advanced driver-assistance systems to qualify, he said. The EV Board also agreed to extend the production period of battery electric vehicles (BEV) under the so-called EV3 measure, which aims to propel EV industry growth. The measure comprises subsidies, reduced import duties for fully assembled cars and an excise tax cut. However, between 2022 and 2023, about 84,000 EVs were imported under the EV3 measure, which means 124,000 vehicles must be produced in 2025. But due to the current declining car sales, the EV Board decided to extend the production period to help the manufacturers, Mr Narit said.Some EV makers previously raised concerns that EVs produced locally under EV3.0 may have higher prices than EVs imported under EV3.5, putting them at a competitive disadvantage. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2914210/new-taxes-for-evs
