Seems I have hit a nerve with you I expect it will be mandatory the 0-100 km acceleration must be higher than 5.0 for road cars and lower than 5.0 for track cars not licensed for road use https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/acceleration-electric-car End of the line for demon king drivers

Thailand is known to be one of the most unsafe countries worldwide when measured by the proportion of people who die in a road traffic accident. In its most recent global report (2018), the WHO ranks Thailand as the number 9 country with the highest road traffic death rate, with 32.7 deaths per 100,000 population (2018) We know what the main causes of accidents are: motorcyclists not wearing a helmet, people drinking and driving, and speeding. These three risk behaviors, often combined, make traffic dangerous for both the drivers and the passengers, but also for pedestrians, bicyclists and other road users. https://www.who.int/thailand/news/detail/03-01-2023-a-new-year-s-resolution--for-life Once we have seen a major accident in Thailand resulting in a number of children deaths and the root cause of the accident was ev extreme acceleration I expect the Government will pass laws that mandate acceleration be limited in EV

If you ask MG for a guarantee that they wouldn't apply any changes to reducing the acceleration in their cars the stock answer will be Currently we have no plans to apply any changes that would result in limiting the acceleration in our cars however if we were mandated to apply such a change from the Transport safety office in your country then we would have no choice but to apply such a change

I think you will find limiting EV extreme acceleration will happen sooner than you think there is a huge difference in numbers on the road of high performance ICE vehicles vs EV's Insurance companies and Government safety agencies are already looking at Number of deaths , accidents and serious injuries from EV's accidents compared to ICE Electric car acceleration ‘makes crashes more likely’ Broker says premiums are being driven up by the higher number of EV accident claims Electric car drivers are having more accidents because they are not used to the powerful acceleration, a top insurance broker has claimed. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/01/27/electric-cars-acceleration-powerful-crash-more/

When the number of deaths and serious injury increase to an unacceptable level due to extreme acceleration Expect that manufacturers will be required to mandatory apply a change to all existing and new vehicles to limit the extreme acceleration on EV's Extreme Acceleration Is the New Traffic Safety Frontier The electric vehicle revolution has also helped deliver a new golden age of automotive horsepower — and safety regulators aren’t ready for it https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-01-06/welcome-to-the-age-of-extreme-acceleration

I posted "A report by McKinsey China has shown significant disillusionment among Chinese electric car owners in 2023, with 22% stating they wouldn’t consider new energy vehicles (NEVs) for their next car yes we don't know the question asked in the survey it might have been Will your next car be a NEV Now what we don't know is what was the response of the other 78% it might have been yes next car will be a NEV or it might have been a % for yes and a % for not sure or a % will say depends on what is available when we come to replace our current model So we don't know the question that was asked and we don't know the response from the other 78% there may have been multiple replies As stated All your claims of 78% are fake and Your claimed 78% are happy with their choice is a figment of your imagination there isn't a single mention in the article where it states that 78% are happy

And I don't get why you would post that I posted a link claiming xxx when I clearly didn't post such a link And why you attempt to extrapolate a point of view where no such information is available from within the article https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/ If you think my posts are nonsense and wasting your time the simply answer is to ignore them and don't reply

I wouldn't expect you to allow anyone on this forum to get away with posting fake information about EV's or ICE vehicles on this forum unless it was favorable towards EV's I don't plan on changing vehicles until 2028 And yes I have driven an EV

Tesla has been ordered to recall nearly 4,000 of its Cybertrucks due to an accelerator pedal that can stick in place when pressed down. The cause, according to the regulator: soap. “An unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal,” the NHTSA wrote in the recall document. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/19/business/tesla-cybertruck-recall/index.html#:~:text=Tesla

And Once again your posting rubbish please provide the link where I posted "You posted a link that says 78% of EV owners in China wouldn't change their decision." as I know that I didn't post such a link All your claims of 78% are fake and Your claimed 78% are happy with their choice is a figment of your imagination there isn't a single mention in the article where it states that 78% are happy The article doesn't mention if they are asked the question are you happy with your choice of vehicle or not all it states Once again a tissue of fake claims try reading the article slowly One in five Chinese EV owners wouldn’t buy another A report by McKinsey China has shown significant disillusionment among Chinese electric car owners in 2023, with 22% stating they wouldn’t consider new energy vehicles (NEVs) for their next car, The report shows that the proportion of electric car owners in third- and fourth-tier cities who regret their purchase stands at a striking 54%, compared with only 10% in first- and second-tier cities. All your claims of 78% are fake and Your claimed 78% are happy with their choice is a figment of your imagination there isn't a single mention in the article where it states that 78% are happy The article doesn't mention if they are asked the question are you happy with your choice of vehicle or not https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/

Your claimed 78% are happy with their choice is a figment of your imagination there isn't a single mention in the article where it states that 78% are happy The article does state The report shows that the proportion of electric car owners in third- and fourth-tier cities who regret their purchase stands at a striking 54%, compared with only 10% in first- and second-tier cities. The dissatisfaction among owners in smaller cities stems from inconvenient charging infrastructure, highlighting a major challenge faced by electric vehicle adoption in these regions. https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/ Your average approval rating is strange as now your quoting a US website previously you were quoting figures from a SMMT survey and most people should know that the The Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) supports and promotes the interests of the UK automotive industry at home and abroad.

Chinese EV owners queue for well over an hour for a charging station during holidays and then wait another average 50 minutes for the vehicle to charge, according to a 2023 report by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance (EVCIPA). On busy days, long queues form on highways, and 70% of surveyed Chinese EV owners reported dissatisfaction with waiting times. In rural regions, charging stations are scarce or simply out of service. https://restofworld.org/2024/ev-battery-swapping-china/ I have seen posts on Facebook groups in Thailand where the owner has access to both an EV and ICE vehicle choosing to use the ICE vehicle over Songkran rather than the EV

One in five Chinese EV owners wouldn’t buy another A report by McKinsey China has shown significant disillusionment among Chinese electric car owners in 2023, with 22% stating they wouldn’t consider new energy vehicles (NEVs) for their next car, The dissatisfaction among owners in smaller cities stems from inconvenient charging infrastructure, highlighting a major challenge faced by electric vehicle adoption in these regions. However, this growth has outpaced infrastructure development, particularly in the provision of charging points, leading to grievances among electric vehicle owners, the report said. https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/

Last October in the Facebook groups I did see approx 10-20 Byd atto 3 appear from owners that want to sell and buy the Seal model used prices advertised were from B800,000 -B1,100,000 the top end pricing was very close to the official retail price for the extended version Problem for both sellers and buyers as finance wouldn't lend on used ev payment options were limited to cash or taking over the finance contract (Can be expensive if original buyer went for low down payment option and finance repayments over 72 months So some people took a B400k hit on a few months old car because they wanted the seal model I have seen recently someone wants to offload their November Byd Atto3 model problem for them total outstanding on their finance agreement was B1.3million baht no-one is going to pay that amount on a used 2023 model when a brand new atto3 extended can be purchased for B949,900

Electric vehicle market faces risk from non-performing loans Pinyo further explained that if these seized EVs were to be sold in the second-hand car market, it’s unlikely that financial institutions would provide loan schemes for potential buyers of used EVs. The lack of confidence in granting loans in the second-hand EV market stems from the market’s expected small size and the continued fluctuation in new EV prices, making it difficult for banks to calculate the value of used EVs, said Pinyo. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/electric-vehicle-market-faces-risk-from-non-performing-loans

The Tesla website shows $6,000 gas savings over a 5 year period 10,000 miles per year https://www.tesla.com/modely/design?financeModalTab=gas_savings#overview if the buyer qualifies for a federal tax credit then $7,500 would be taken off the $42,990 base price So potentially a combined saving of $13,500 from the $42,990 base price

Not everyone on this forum would consider them to be EV's This number can be divided by categories as follow: Battery EV: 120,719 units; Hybrid EV (benzene): 326,178; Hybrid EV (diesel): 11,596; Hybrid EV (LPG/benzene): 400; Plug-in hybrid EV (benzene): 53,172; Plug-in hybrid EV (diesel): 278. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40033855

automotive manufacturers have no input into the price of fuel be it petrol, diesel or electric Even when the price of fuels go down end customers see little difference as governments normal use any long term fall in prices to increase they % of taxes built into the price In 2020 the price of oil in Texas when down to -$37.63 per barrel but is bounced back the next day so end customers wouldn't have noticed anything https://dwfgroup.com/it-it/news-and-insights/insights/2020/4/oil-prices-dropped-to-negative-figures-on-monday-20-april

Doesn't appear to be a problem for Toyota and they don't appear to becoming insignificant They have announced a change in their Forecast of Financial Results as there selling more vehicles than they expected Net sales are expected to increase due to the depreciation of the yen beyond expectations as well as continued high levels of production and sales in the Materials Handling Equipment Segment and the Automobile Segment. All kinds of profits remain unchanged from the previous forecast reflecting the impact of engine certification issue, such as the compensation to customers and suppliers associated with the shipment suspension of engines, although the increase in net sales will contribute to the increase in profit. https://www.toyota-industries.com/news/2024/03/29/008641/index.html Toyota reports 20% jump in first-quarter US auto sales https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/toyota-reports-20-jump-first-quarter-us-auto-sales-2024-04-02/ Why would any automotive manufacturer entered the current EV market when the current market is one of price cuts I expect there will be a number of smaller EV manufacturers that will simply file for bankruptcy over the next 5 years What EV manufacturers and EV owners require is price stability when you purchase a vehicle you expected to devalue over a number of years what you don't expect is the manufacturer to increase that devaluation by huge price cuts because their products aren't selling in the numbers that they require EV manufacturers seem to be doing a very good job of sabotaging the uptake of EV’s with price wars Out of Interest did MG agree to your price protection guarantee For people that are interested in buying an EV what is holding them back is the current price war as you yourself have stated you wouldn't be happy to pay 50% more for a vehicle

I stated that "Ev evangelist's don't want automotive manufacturers to offer their customers an alternative choice to EV's its EV's or nothing I think that statement is correct As to the Mirai From the article Many of the Mirai owners I spoke with made it clear that they love their cars. With its Lexus underpinnings, the current-generation Mirai has been described to me as a "dream to drive." What they don't love is the infrastructure supporting it and the way it was represented to them before they purchased it. https://insideevs.com/news/708375/toyota-mirai-hydrogen-stations-close/#:~:text= we will have to see how the court case goes at the end of day car manufacturers be it electric or hydrogen are not in the refueling business if all the EV charging stations suddenly decided to shutdown for whatever reason then EV owners would be screwed

I think you will find that the preferred policy of the Thai Government is "You can buy what you want, so long as you can afforded it and the purchase doesn't over burden your existing household debt we don't mind if you buy EV or ICE vehicles we would prefer your choice of vehicle to be made in Thailand Srettha said Thailand would remain a hub of ICE vehicle production during the transitional period. Thai government agencies would continue to collaborate with Japanese ICE automakers on support measures, he told Kishida. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/policies/40032908 Hence subsidy on Hybrid extended for 2 more years
