We've repeated ourselves more than enough times, and one would think it sunk in by now. I'm sure I posted the same numerous times. Only repeat myself for curious new folks

No different from ICEV owners that do the same thing. Some out of the factory with fake exhaust pipes showing, even though only have 1 pipe of the engine.

You're ignoring earlier posts, as already discussed. Along with too many variables. Might get away with a long weekend, if not too far off the beaten track, as need enough to get back to a CS. IF conservative with the AC, use at night to sleep. Occasional use of V2L for coffee and or meals on induction cooker, or rehydrating & heating freeze dried meals.

My E-MC has 'Harley mode'

It's too hot to camp in TH, IMHO, especially with a bungalow in nakhon nowhere being so cheap. Cool season maybe, but that's also smog season, so I'll pass on that also. When younger, yea, used to camp quite a bit, even in my late 30's. But I want a comfy mattress & AC now. And I'm not walking around at night, (snakes) when I need to P.

Weeks, seriously, why not months or years. You're getting silly. Who lives out of their car. And would run the AC 24/7. I'm thinking 2 days if really needed to, longer if below 35C and parked in the shade. Also depends If we'll be making coffee or cooking on the induction cooker ...

You mean without driving, camping in the car ? Already posted a vid on that on last page of this thread, and did a tester ourselves. Posted a few times what the MG ZS uses with just the AC on, while shopping and or munching, as we do quite often for the dog in the car.

Agree ... owning a BEV wasn't in our plan either. Matter of fact, as stated many times, we bought a new ICEV, at the same time as contracting the new house and solar system. Solar system being the minimum needed, as expensive enough, and at the time, no thought of owning a BEV. Then the govt offered to pay us 240k baht to buy one, and we had solar on the way. Made it a no brainer, and didn't even test drive the BEV before ordering, as already had the ICEV version. No change in solar design after deciding to buy the BEV. Solar would still produce the same amount, which provides enough excess to charge the EVs, on most days. Sometimes barely enough to top up the batteries on crappy days. Solar system was designed to meet the minimum needs of the house, 24/7, to be off grid. So their ROI argument is irrelevant, unless the system was designed specifically for accommodating a BEV, which really isn't necessary, unless you do a lot of driving every day. If you design a system to be 'off grid', you'll have more than enough excess to charge EVs, if doing normal driving, say ~20k kms a year, and more than most in TH.

Only in BEVs. Fires, harm to the environment, cobalt & child labor is OK, for them to troll using their battery operated devices. The hypocrisy

Yes, he deserved death ... 😎

Funny that doesn't work in the house like that. After I fall asleep, it's still 30-35C outside. Turn the AC off, and I'll be sweating in 30 minutes. The house isn't a small space that heats up fast, like a vehicle, and insulated much better than any vehicle, with 3+ meter ceilings. You guys a crack up with all your BS.

You're a funny guy, or extremely ignorant. Have you ever researched them, and priced one that would actually run an AC or heater overnight ? Example, EcoFlow Delta Pro (3600) @ ฿100k, will run ... ... 5k BTU AC for about 7 hrs (at home we use 14 hrs worth) ... a portable heater for 4 hrs ...

@ 2:30 of the vid 24 hour camping ...

Reading comprehension, or are you simply ignoring the obvious he already stated ? Like myself and many others that have solar. The system is enough, hopefully for the house. Mine is barely enough, and only because we are conservative with electric use after sunset. Actually could use another 5kWh inverter and 10 more kWh of ESS, to really be enough. But during the day, more than enough excess to keep the EVs charged up. Which makes ROI even faster. Not that ROI is important to myself, I just prefer the independence, and the saving is just a really nice plus. Our solar system would cost exactly the same, whether having EVs or not. Something that goes way over the anti EV/CH/Solar folks. Spew the same old false narrative. Tiring actually.

Well, I did start the thread. And you're not far behind

Seriously, a 3 yr old pick up. Why not show listing for a plane or a boat ? Why do you bother embarrassing yourself. This is how my post count is so high, as someone pointed out the other day. Most like the last 10 ish, wasted on BS replies to silliness. EDIT: check that, 12 added posts on this thread since the so easy to understand original one was posted. Mind boggling silliness, some extreme. No matter what y'all pick in the 700k range, the BEV will save you 250-300k over 8 years. If not much more, depending on the price or petrol. Why I don't even bother with these threads any more.

Not everyone wants or needs a pick up, especially an inexpensive one. Apples & oranges again ... distraction. Pretty sure the petrol savings will be in the same ballpark +/- 10 or 20%, 250k vs 300k

Also posted about on AN, when originally reported

I wish ... and yea, I was actually looking at EBs, or even kayak, and they even have E-SUP/surfboards. Since living surfside ish. All silly priced and need to be imported. Then I'd be buying fishing rods, and prepping for the apocalypses

And what 700k baht family passenger uses diesel ? Quick google, and apparent none ... https://www.carwow.co.uk/economical-cars/diesel#gref

You should go fishing with EOW, as nothing biting here

2.8L, not so sure about that. I'm very sure about I would never want one. Something I would never own, a diesel. Way before BEVs. That's just one disgusting & harmful fuel. Yet to be in any diesel vehicle that I thought wasn't a POS, noisy, vibrates, and smells if nearby when running.

Only thing that lurks in my mind, is how easy it was to pass that ICEV driving way too slow, and damn, got more money in the back .... again. No longer have to pop into the petrol station every week for 10 mins or so X 52 weeks. No longer wait for the oil change every 10k kms. Most important, get to explore locally within 125 away from house, and doesn't cost anything. Gets me out of the house, a lot. Get to check out the coffee shop, and it didn't cost more to get there & back than the coffee & Danish. Pop up to Hua Hin for the day, 200+ kms, and it didn't cost 500 baht = free lunch 👍 And I didn't have to worry about the increased risk of car fire, since less likely with BEV, especially with LFP chemistry than petrol crap.

go away ... nobody cars what you spew any more. Shouldn't you be fishing someplace else. Nobody biting here.

Apple & oranges, we're talking 700k passenger cars. Really, 2.8L diesel And buy in cost ??? Take the extra buy in cost of the 2.8L, install solar at the house, and not only save the 12.8k for the BEV, probably another 40-60k a year off PEA bill. So now 50-70k X 8 yrs That's why I kept it simple ... but hey, I like your distraction, get to save more money.
