  1. A good mate of mine here manages the building of the electric passenger ferries that are being made for Bangkok's canals and rivers and also for other places around the planet. All of these 'electric' ferries have 'range extenders' in them. Otherwise known as a diesel generator ???? There are other jokes we make about 'range extenders' for use in other purposes, but they aren't clean enough for this forum. ????
  2. Yes V2L or Vehicle to Load is the correct terminology. Unfortunately, the MG EP EV cannot do this, nor can the ZS EV as far as I know. I have had an MG EP for 1.5 years now with 42,000km already on it, great car so far. The 7.5kw charger included with the car would normally be around 20k baht from my research. It is a relatively 'stupid' smart charger. You can't even limit it to stop at 80% charge level, which can allow a Lithium Ion battery to last much longer if you don't need the full range every day. I have to physically go out and unplug the car. No mobile phone app to control this car, either. The charger does not have a feature to charge after hours only should Thailand ever implement discounts for charging at off-peak times. (They don't where I live and work at least) Well worth it for the money, though. 1/3 the cost of operation of my Ford Ranger so far, and WAY faster and more fun to drive.
