Anyone looking for HEPA filters, I just picked these up. 10 sheets for ฿127 w/delivery. Sold as a wrap around Xiaomi & Philips purifier filters. Can use for AC units, as another use. Our AC units have purifiers already, and I actually bought for the cars interior intake for air circulation. As car's filter was clogged up w/dog hair & replaced @ 20k kms check up. So won't need to do that again.

This guy needs to throw in the towel, before the country is destroyed beyond repair. The people have suffered enough. RU has accomplished most of what it set out to do, and the last thing is regime change. How much of the country is he going to offer up, before he & govt relinquishes power back to the people. Surely he has his millions squirreled away, and will be retiring in comfort in the USA when all said & done. Reward for the proxy war and defense contractor's profits. Enough already ...

Factchecking 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles
KhunLA replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Think you got that backwards, as TH appears to be way ahead of the West. EVs are very affordable here, and CSa (ATM) are plentiful. Solar Systems are inexpensive. Two of my newest toys. I don't think anyone regrets buying an EV here, unless it was the overpriced Leaf. Early buyers are upgrading to newer tech/battery chemistry. As normal when new toys come out, and they want to have first, and really should know better is just on the horizon. More so now, with the flood of EVs hitting the market. We've seen it over & over with 'electronic' tech, computer, phones, cameras, even drones. More competition, produces more options at better prices. Even our EV (MG ZS) had a ฿100k price drop since we ordered, 18months ago and received 1 year ago. As did the rest of the MG's BEV line up. Not happy about it, but no real loss for us, as saved ฿40-50k from not buying petrol within that year, and didn't lose another 10-15% on the ICE version we sold, if held another year, so another ฿40-60k realized. Pretty much a wash. Top it off, the insured value, just renewed 2 weeks ago, if totaled or stolen, is ฿1k more than price of a new one -

So cobalt is only an issue when used for EV batteries, which they are getting away from, with LFP chemistry batteries. Doesn't seem to be an issue when used in other products you use; Phone, laptop, oil & petroleum production, metals & alloys. Just those nasty EVs 2021 ... ... 34% of cobalt used in EV batteries (now less) ... 31% used in other purpose batteries; phones, laptops, etc " Superalloys, which are used to make parts for gas turbine engines, are another major use for cobalt. Cobalt is also used to make airbags in automobiles; catalysts for the petroleum and chemical industries; cemented carbides (also called hardmetals) and diamond tools; corrosion- and wear-resistant alloys; drying agents for paints, varnishes, and inks; dyes and pigments; ground coats for porcelain enamels; high-speed steels; magnetic recording media; magnets; and steel-belted radial tires." Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. -
They probably wouldn't even notice, until they actually have to do something, like new debit card or passbook. I go in, and make a withdrawal every few months, and they just make a copy of ID page. Not sure, but don't think they pay attention to the rest. They might if you actually need to do something.

That happened last year ... I'm avoiding that happening again.

We renewed at ฿11.4k, and received 'rebate' of ฿1400 to 'True Wallet', which we spent already, so ฿10k for insurance. Insured value of ฿860k which is 1k more than sales price for new MG ZS EV Actually cheaper than the coverage for the ICE version, (considering insured value) which was valued at ฿400k at time of sale and under policy. That policy was about ฿8.5k, though a different vendor. ฿222.3k ... That's just silly. Who'd pay that for insurance. Totally irrelevant since we live in THAILAND -
Wonder why ... ... "Since President Biden took office, prices have increased cumulatively by 17.4 percent, while hourly wages have increased only 13 percent. In looking at the past seven presidents, only Jimmy Carter had a bigger inflation rate, 26.2 percent, at a similar point in his presidency. For the past four presidents, their Presidential Inflation Rate was in single digits, and, specifically, Biden’s PIR is triple that of where Donald Trump (5.6 percent) and George W. Bush (5.4 percent) were at this point in their first terms." source source

No additional cost, as the system IS REQUIRED for the house. That it produces enough excess on most days to charge the EVs, it's simply a plus. EV charging wasn't a consideration when contracting to have solar installed. We had just bought a new ICEV about the same time. Having solar, simply motivated the choice of the EV, along with that very nice (240k) gov't incentive.

NEDC / 403 kms per charge WLTP / 320 kms per charge Actual 11.3kWh per 100 kms = 409.7 kms 10.7kWh per 100 kms = 432.7 kms 9.3kWh = 497.8 kms Winner is, (due to very hilly / regen) ... 5kWh = 926 kms 🤣 info about

Yep ... ... while on Thai road for 3ish hours, I need to P, dog needs to P, wife needs to P. Time to stretch the legs, get a snack and or coffee. Maybe confirm that hotel reservation since now I know I'm actually here. Lots of option, pit stops, to do all .... while I'm at it ... ... I think I'll plug the car in. Which pit stop to choose ? That's some difficult thinking ... that Ph'd is coming in handy. -
