Got more chance of the ferry itself, catching on fire than the cargo it's hauling, as the ferry is the only think in operation; motor, fuel & electrical systems, They've had their share of oops already, and actually avoid, for various reasons.

First you have to have a fire, and little chance of that happening ... IMHO

Only got 1 car, 1 E-MC, 1 ebike, as can only drive 1 at a time. Others were for reference to post replied to. I stopped collecting vehicles when I got to TH.

Be patriotic and simply 'buy USA' .. then no issue with any tariffs That is what people want, and why they voted the way they did Those against tariffs would be the folks buying imported goods, not caring about the America worker, production, jobs, stronger, more independent USA.

The same as I received from them

And be a captive customer dependent on the taxi mafia, no thanks. All irrelevant, as I'd never return to Samui, as one of if not my least favorite place of TH.

Once again, people blame the BEV manufacturers for things out of their control. If the govt is pushing BEV & Hybrids, maybe 'THEY' should insure the necessary safeguards and CS networks are in place. Not the auto manufacturer responsibility, but yet, everything is the fault of the EV manufacturers. Ferries will catch for because inadequate equipment of fight fires. There grid can supply enough electric, or there aren't enough CSs. All things out of their/EV makers control. Theoretically, the govt does what the people want. So it's the ICEV voters who don't require the govt to put their paranoia at ease. You want EV, but fail to prepare for them. Not mine or MG's or CN's fault ... deal with it, as we're happy just the way things are, since not delusional. Have a nice day

And very happy that I did. I support countries and manufacturers the produce the best product for the best price, so they can continue do so. Yes, all better and more affordable ... BEV,s; car, MC, ebike, drones, some camera gear, some appliances & our Solar system. Feel free to spend more on inferior products ... UP2U

.... "“Firstly, the battery pack in a new electric car is significantly more fireproof than in an old one. When we short-circuited the battery cells in a Renault Fluence, the whole battery caught fire. When we ignited it in a newer Tesla model 3, only the battery cell affected caught fire. Secondly, the positive message is that fires in electric cars on board ferries are manageable and not something we need to fear. All the fires in our tests could be extinguished, so with the correct fire-fighting technologies on board, the correct training of the crew and well-coordinated collaboration with the onshore emergency services, electric cars should not pose a safety problem in ferry traffic,” says Alexander Kleiman."

I don't understand either. What is so great about overpriced under performing ICEV. One guy on another thread going on how his Raptor, cost 2X+, would blow me away, since being 2 secs faster getting to 100 kph. Or another going on about their Fortuner can carry more people. Like I want to take the in-laws with me everywhere I go Here I'm stuck with that short, fire trap that could could flame up if wet, or blow up if I hit bump. Not to mention I'm not contributing to the economy, since charge with solar. I also apologize for being a successful white male ... please forgive me

Maybe they should ban fat people also. Apples for Apples ... our MG ZS vs Camry. What's the problem ? Salt water ... really ? Guess I should stop driving along the surfside road, as there's quite a spray this time of year, as it slams against the sea wall. Actually I avoid that no matter what I used to drive. I road my E-MC in the rain, and live to tell about it Got to avoid those speed bumps & pot holes, as I read on AN, BEVs blow up when driving over AN & MSM ... great comic relief

And most sensible people would top up before getting on a ferry to an island. It's not rocket science. How many times do you plan on driving around the island. I drove around it once, boring as hell. You have CS near the pier, and over where most people hang out on Samui. With more than a few before you leave the mainland. Along with the option to actually charge at your accommodations, if they allow.

Keep spinning

The post I replied to was about weight Fairly obvious, but hey, troll on ... 😎

No need to ask why she shops at Evans: Plus size clothing for women 🐷

Guess you should ban anything over 1600kg, all those big ICE SUV, 4x4s, that way more than most EVs. Ours only weighs 1570kg Raptor ... >2000kg Fortuner ... 1,980 to 2,140 kg Camry ... 1,665 kg

Why would you need CSs, as the island is only about 80 kms round. If you drove around the whole island 3 times, that's <250 kms, leaves at least about 100 kms reserve with most BEVs. Just more silly anti EV ignorance by so many people, businesses. Bridge is a great idea, since < 25 kms away, since they've had enough incidents on ferries that certainly didn't involve EVs. If it wasn't such a tourist trap, I might even pop over for a visit, if a bridge was available.

"Thais are increasingly opting out of parenthood. Analysts are pointing to a blend of factors at play, with patriarchal societal pressures and economic uncertainties being cited as common threads among nations experiencing similar trends. Additionally, concerns over younger generations exposed to pollution and poor diets are believed to further impact Thailand's birth rate." Who writes this drivel. People just realize kids take up too much of their time and money, for them to enjoy life. Now, you can have sex, no worry of kids, so you now have time to enjoy the money your career provides. Pretty simple. Days past, before birth controls, if you want to have sex, you ended up with the burden of kids. A lot of sex, meant a lot of kids, and no time to enjoy life and strained your finances. Now you can get your freak on as much as you want, with no repercussions, or cramping your lifestyle in the future. People realize, relationships simply don't last when stressed, mentally and financially. Let alone a partner 'till death do you part'. Women don't want to get stuck with the kid afterwards, and men don't want to pay for the kid, being raised be someone else, or not seeing them, just paying for them. Why I never had kids before retiring, as too selfish to share my time and money on a burden, that would restrict my happy lifestyle. Given the choice, young folks don't want or need the burden of kids. Not like they need extra hands at the office. They see how kids restricted their parents enjoyment of life, and smartly avoid going down the same path. Not like they are all farmers and need extra hands to plant the rice If not for birth control, I'd have 50 kids, or more actually, since relationships didn't last. In a lasting relationship, the potential to pop one out every year could easily have been a reality. Marry at 25, menopauses' at 45 ... that's 20 kids ...

Dec 11 th is NOT an extra public holidays in 2024

Since I drive the speed limit, while someone else might drive his Raptor like an irresponsible teenager, then I reckon, me & mine are a lot safer. Machines don't kill people, people kill people

Don't think you can get any more convenient than that. I'd definitely skip the wall charger installation. ฿25k, that's a lot of kWh @ ~฿8 per. That's about 22k kms, over what you'd be charging daily, overnight, w/ granny cable. ฿25k ÷ ฿8 = 3,125kWh ÷ 14 (kWh/100 kms) = 223.21 X 100 = 22,300 kms

Unless you are trying to stop ... heavier takes longer = not as safe MG ZS EV ... 1570 kg Raptor v6 ... 2415 kg

Careful ... you're starting to sound like me
