Not sure which country you are referring to can't be the UK as the majority of greasy spoon burger vans are usually parked in lay-by have no access to electricity. Given that some charging outlets are now charging £1 per kilo watt where depending on what electic tariff your on you can charge for £0.075p per kilo watt Home charging would seem to be the cheapest option unless your going somewhere long distance and you need to charge away from home. Most UK councils I know don't give anything for free so they wack up the rate that you pay for charging and say we wouldn't charge you a parking fee while your charging your vehicle but they do its just hidden in the rate cost per kilo watt

The justification for leaving the single market is simple a majority vote took place in 2016 to leave the European Union. In practice if a employer is paying their workers £525 for a 35 hour week and then they find out they can imported cheaper labour elsewhere and pay them £250 for the same 35 hour week then they are going to do so Cheap labour and poor working conditions isn't just a UK problem Its an EU problem Invisible workers: Underpaid, exploited and put at risk on Europe’s farms "At the moment we have this crazy situation where we actually have better protection for animals than for some of these workers on our farms," said German Green MEP Daniel Freund. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2020/07/17/invisible-workers-underpaid-exploited-and-put-at-risk-on-europe-s-farms Most of these workers are cross-border migrants which would be in the UK if the UK allowed unrestricted access

Majority of countries worldwide have working visas requirments so the UK is no different to any other country Unrestricted labour access mainly benefits SME and businesses that are not unionize they drive down wages and working conditions for everyone thats works in those business sectors

If you want labour shortages to be removed employers need to pay better rates, better working conditions some sort of job security not these zero hour contracts Both in the UK and Europe it seems the same business sectors that have a huge problem with labour shortages Since covid and people returned home they have found better paid jobs together with a better homelife hence they have not returned to their former jobs Airlines let a large number of staff go during Covid at the end of covid some airliness came up with a brillant idea Why don't we rehire them but with less salary and worse working conditions before they left

Labour shortages felt all over Europe One of the reasons for the shortage of workers in the richer EU countries might lie in the disruptions that the COVID pandemic brought to intra-EU migration. Gerhard Huemer of SMEUnited said: “What we see most of is Eastern Europeans having returned home during the pandemic and choosing not to head back to Western Europe now.” https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/labour-shortages-felt-all-over-europe/ Spain has passed laws in July that allow Non-EU nationals ( Including UK nationals) will be able to obtain a work visa to come to Spain more easily and take up jobs in areas facing labour shortages i.e. tourism, construction, agriculture.

Other solution would pay a decent wage with decent working conditions and set a minimum price for a product based on what it costs to bring to market. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/aug/14/uk-farm-workers-kent-debt-indonesian-brokers

Most Mp's have constituency offices with full time staff that can handle any queries that their constituencies have. Also in 2022 there are communication tools such as Mobile phone and the internet Unless your suggesting that all MP's should be electronically tagged and should be arrested if they attempt to go past their constituency boundaries

Any GWM Haval H6 or Jolion owners out there ?
vinny41 replied to Andrew Dwyer's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Not only Chinese cars, there was a major US brand that decided to exited their Thailand production and to get rid of stock reduce the price of their vehicles by 50% imagine how the owners that purchased vehicles before the 50% reduction felt. There are other brands that offer substantial discounts to vehicles that they no longer want to include in their vehicle portfolio end of life or bring out a brand new major updated model all these factors have an impact on resale values -
Recently, on 1st. December 2014, the Royal Automobile Association of Thailand (RAAT) has joined. ASEAN NCAP https://unece.org/DAM/trans/doc/2015/wp29/WP29-165-10e.pdf And 500,000 baht cars are tested as shown here SUZUKI SWIFT (2018) TESTED VARIANT ORIGIN THAILAND FOR THAILAND https://v4-web.aseancap.org/result/4318 HONDA CITY (2020) TESTED VARIANT ORIGIN THAILAND FOR THAILAND https://v4-web.aseancap.org/result/4986 How ASEAN NCAP can help in making the decision to buy a car? https://v4-web.aseancap.org/faqs There is a China version of ncap

for asean countries there is Asean NCAP unfortunately no BEV tested to date you shouldn't focus to much on country of orgin as a single factory will produced different VARIANTs for each region Why do we need another NCAP in ASEAN since most cars are tested in other NCAP programs around the world? https://v4-web.aseancap.org/faqs HONDA HR-V (2022) tested July 2022 TESTED VARIANT ORIGIN Thailand Selling Region of tested VARIANT BRUNEI https://v4-web.aseancap.org/result/5669 Or MG ZS 1.5L C+ Model year 2022 TESTED VARIANT ORIGIN Selling Region of tested vehicle THAILAND, VIETNAM https://v4-web.aseancap.org/result/5212 It should be said the results are only valid for the year of manufacture eg a car that was tested in 2020 the same results may not apply in 2022 if the manufacture has made significant changes since the vehicle was tested As for Nissan Leaf I suspect all the stock has been sold now the price was reduced to 959,000 https://autolifethailand.tv/final-call-nissan-leaf-ev-bev-959000/ Anyone wanting to buy today OGC,MG ZS EV or MG EP is in for a long wait as at the moment they are not accepting new orders At the moment best bet is Neta V or BYD Atto 3

Euro NCAP and IIHS focus on left hand drive cars being sold in Europe and the US automotive manufacturers customized specs for each region and to comply with local legal requirements of a country that they are selling in If an automotive manufacturer has no plans to sell in Europe they are unlikely to submit their vehicles for Euro NCAP testing as there is no point So I don't believe you can take a NCAP or IIHS result and apply that result worldwide Also the testing and ratings are different for each testing methodology used Euro NCAP and ANCAP are fundamentally the same as ANCAP is based on Euro NCAP. JNCAP uses a different speed in its tests. IIHS has two extra vehicle tests, doesn’t measure pedestrian impact and uses a different rating method (i.e. not stars). https://mocktheorytest.com/resources/how-to-use-crash-test-results-when-looking-to-buy-a-car/#:~:text=Euro NCAP and ANCAP use,different speed in its tests. https://www.euroncap.com/en/about-euro-ncap/the-car-selection-explained/

Long way to go before ICE and PHEV are dead in Europe Despite the strong increase in sales seen in recent years, alternatively-powered passenger cars still make up only 5.3% of the total EU car fleet. Battery electric cars and plug-in hybrids account for just 0.5% and 0.6% of the fleet, while 1.2% of all cars on EU roads are hybrid electric – see page 14. https://www.acea.auto/publication/report-vehicles-in-use-europe-2022/
