Really. How was the economy in 2020?

And I don't care what other think either because I nearly have an IQ!

What I was pointing out that it's simplistic to say that a cheap pound is a good thing. It would be a better thing if it weren't so cheap because that would indicate that the economy is healthier. I don't care about your personal financial situation and the value of the pound is irrelevant to mine.

So the lower the pound goes, the better the news is? You hoping the that pound achieves parity with the dollar? This reminds of a character in Catch-22 who usually sported a miserable look on his face because of the tension of waiting for the inevitable bad news.. The only time he smiled was when the bad news came and he was slated again for another dangerous bombing run. No more tension. We also have cryptocurrency enthusiasts who are cheering the sharp decline of bitcoin, ethereum, etc because it means that they can buy coins more cheaply..

The UK is doing worse than the EU.

I said nothing about whether Brexit was a good idea or not . I wrote "Brexit under Boris is an ongoing disaster" If you think Boris was the man to do the job, then you have very low standards for what it takes to do a job properly.

The difference is that under Churchill WW2 was also a disaster for the British economy that couldn't be helped Brexit under Boris is on ongoing disaster that could be..

You mean how the voters booted him and his fellow tories from office after the war?

On what grounds are you confident that "Ukraine owns weaponry that can destroy targets far inside Russia"? Don't you think that if Ukraine had such weapons they would have already used the to destroy, for example, Russian naval vessels docked at Sevastopol in Crimea?

And I have repeatedly pointed out to you that even if it did take 2 extra minutes the crucial factor is how many chargers there are. Moreover, you seem to insist on this being an important consideration even though it's very early days in the EV revolution. Treating the current charging times for batteries as an important consideration when EVs in Thailand are still so few, and charging times are already being cut drastically, actually comparable to time it takes to fill up an ICE vehicle., is disingenuous. Moreover, all the chargers I have seen in Thailand are self service. Which means no waiting for an attendant to take your cash or credit card.. As for your phone nonsense. You're the one who tried to use the cost of a phone now vs. a phone back when to claim that technology doesn't necessarily make consumer items cheaper. So, of course, you were making a comparison. Why else did you bring it up? Because you thought it was a fun fact? And to make it worse, the cost of a mobile phone that you cited would be extremely high end.

I guess 2 of the people who judge Boris by his haircut are Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid British Prime Minister Boris Johnson facing multiple resignations in blow to his leadership British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's administration was thrown into disarray Tuesday when two top ministers quit within minutes of each other amid a slew of other resignations, just weeks after he narrowly survived a no-confidence vote from his own Conservative party. Health Minister Sajid Javid and Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced their departures in letters posted on Twitter. "The public rightly expects government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously," Sunak said in his resignation letter. https://www.foxnews.com/world/british-boris-johnson-resignations There's this fellow, too, a notorious critic of hair styles British Conservative Party vice-chair Afolami resigns - report One of the vice-chairs of Britain's ruling Conservative party, Bim Afolami, has resigned his position, TalkTV political editor Kate McCann said on Twitter on Tuesday. The news followed the resignation of two key ministers in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government earlier on Tuesday moments after he apologised for the latest scandal to blight his administration. read more https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/british-conservative-party-vice-chair-afolami-resigns-report-2022-07-05/

I said it would take an electrician to create a line for it. As for current What happens if plug an 110V appliance in 220V socket? The insulation is usually not a problem unless there is a major flaw in the design. It is current that is your enemy, a piece wire that is warm at 110V (120v) will turn into a fuse at 220V (230v, 240v), all other things being equal. Determining the wattage/load is usually performed by the design engineer to meet the performance specs set by the electrical engineer. http://www.gohz.com/what-happens-if-plug-an-110v-appliance-in-220v-socket#:~:text=The insulation is usually not,all other things being equal.

And immediately following that sentence there's one that goe 'Plug in your car in the evening..." That didn't give you clue? And how was your objection relevant to that?

Now it's 2 minutes? Just a few hours ago you were saying 5 minutes. Gas stations have made a lot of progress in service this morning. That said, I have never had an experience where it took just 2 minutes for me to have my gas tank filled and pay for it. Do you understand that calling your iphone or samsung a phone and calling a phone from 1975 a phone is massively misleading? Apart from making a phone call could that 1975 phone do any of the things that a modern run-of-the-mill mobile phone can do? Much less a $1600 one? A modern mobile is not just a phone, is it? So claiming that prices have gone up is not so much comparing apples to oranges as it is comparing bicycles to Teslas.

If anyone sounds confused it's you. But that may be due to the fault in your translation software. You originally compared this to a bus system that works very differently from most EVs. But this isn't like that at all. Just a battery upgrade.

What I said was the the standard current in the USA was 110-120 volts. To use a level 2 charger you need 220-240 volts. So in the US you need an electrician to create a 220 volt line. In Thailand the standard current is 220-240. No special installation needed. As for my comment about charging, it was in response to Transam about home basic charge for EV's. I pointed out that voltage in thailand is twice as strong as in the USA. (or for that matter Canada and Mexico)

I don't think so. This isn't some blue sky promise. Not vaporware. Its manufacture on a mass scale is imminent. Unless you think that CATL is not to be trusted. Do they have a history of making false promises?

I was pointing out the advantages of a transformer. It doesn't have to be located anywhere near the vicinity of a parking lot. And the conversation was about charging in parking lots. To use tanks you need to dig up ground. And how many more gas stations can be built in central bangkok to create what is essentially a no rise building. A lot less expensive and a lot more flexible to install chargers.

This is not about a new use or new approach . It's just a battery with improved storage capacity and fast charging times that will fit into autos currently being manufactured. Keep in mind that this battery is a product of the biggest EV battery company in the world.

The battery actually exists and is going into production in 2023.

Just maybe, just maybe, because BEV's are still a miniscule percentage of all vehicles in Thailand.

Even if that's true, and thanks for not citing any source at all, as per usual, much faster charging times are coming soon. And unlike the situation with gasoline, the charging stations don't depend on staff for servie. So you don't have to wait for service when the station is busy. I don't know about you, but I spend a lot of time waiting for my payments to be processed when the staff is stressed.

You're correct. My mistake. It's in a vault below the roof. But how is that relevant to the fact that unlike a tank of fuel, the tranformer can be located way up high, far from a parking space?

L2 chargers operate at 208-240 V and output anywhere from 3 kW to 19 kW of AC power. This power output translates to 18-28 miles of range per hour. An average EV can be fully charged in 8 hours or less. So let me get this straight. You're claiming that after being charged for an hour, your phone battery is charged enough to power an EV 18-28 miles? That it holds just as much charge from an hour of charging as that EV battery does? Apparently, not only did you build a phone in 1975 that's the equivalent of a phone today, but you've also created the most powerful battery in existence. Congratulations!

I suspect that as time goes by and EV's gradually become more common and then prevalent, condo owners will agree to installing the cheapest options first and work their way up to the most expensive, and most profitable, ones.
