  1. Not really and we do it with no problem, with just an 8kW system. Plenty of excess for the EVs while still abusing the hell out of the ACs. Using 1000kWh a month ... no problem. When crappy weather, overcast, and not quite enough for the house & car, we would just take the E-MB. Haven't really needed to yet. Others have larger systems, and if conservative with the ACs, could probably get by with a 5kWh system, although we couldn't. Ours is just big or small enough, for a couple crappy days of weather. Haven't needed the grid since installed.
  2. Can also be used in hand gun...and yes, small but dangerous, as usually don't stop till they hit something.
  3. If needing to even ask this query, then you should lease/rent (elsewhere, NOT family owned) or buy a condo. In reality, the lease and any other paperwork is useless, if all goes tits up, and they don't want you living there. If going forward, with usufruct & POA, then still only invest in what you can walk away with. POA is 'power of attorney' so you can sell the land, without her even at land office, as she has already given you that right. RENT OR BUY CONDO
  4. That new tax enforcement would eat up any gains ... 20% or more when bringing in. Just 20% would bring it right back down to actually below where we are now: 43 - 20% = 34.4
  5. The damn expanding HiSo & middle class using their ACs ... That greenhouse effect from pollution doesn't help any. High AQI & PM2.5 numbers forcing high temps ... ... just a coincidence, I think not But hey, blame everything on the fake climate change, and you can tax everything The do gooders don't care, as they have solar and drive EVs Help save the energy for all you other people who need it GOD helps those that help themselves ... or so I'm told
  6. If I was to be famous for something, I don't think it would be for something good, unfortunately Why I could never talk to a shrink ... they'd commit my A$$ and throw away the key
  7. I will celebrate big time, when all 3 crap out, and pray there is a HELL
  8. 21.5 & 31.5 kWh a month is quite a lot, for being very conservative with your use. When we first got solar, new house, we were conservative, sort of, on AC use, at least. The rest normal; electric components in kitchen (2 frigs). gas hob (my preference unless baking), and fans if no AC running. We averaged 33kWh a day last month (April 2024),and I'd consider our use extremely abusive with AC use & EV. So just a tad more than your usage. House new & well built, insulated, extended roof shading, and minimal wall exposure to sun. But after first couple months, stopped being conservation, as simply wanted to know how little we could get by with, and still be comfortable. Here's our usage for following year, 2023, and except for March, April, May & August, we used the same as you are, but very abusive with the AC's (two; 13&24k BTU inverters), and 65" TV/monitor for laptop on most of the day/16+hrs. Only 4 months did we use much more than 20kWh a day, AND, we have an EV. Is your house & AC units older ? Some ceiling insulation, )R+37/38) if not having already, would go a long way to help cooling your AC'd room. Here's our use being conservative, 2022, and we got the EV, on 30th of Oct 2022: August we were exporting for 2 weeks, so that's artificially high (production). Sept & Oct normal conservative use without the EV.
  9. @Photoguy21 Along with so many other BS vids and op-eds/opinion pieces passed off as news. From stretching the truth, omitting half the fact, to simply flat out lies and false BS. It is tiring replying to some of the stupidity posted, but we do, for those that might actually have an interest in EVs. For what ever reason. That for most of us, is simply a better performing vehicle, with hopefully less headaches, maintenance, and less cost to operate and maintain. We drive 20k kms a year, and if they were all local kms, that would cost over 55k baht, at today's price of petrol 91. Since I owned both version of our MG ZS (ICEV & EV), nobody can dispute those #s. We have Solar, so that cost is almost -0- using excess solar. If we used PEA for all our charging, that would cost <13k vs 55k baht, @5 baht a kWh, which is over estimating that cost. For discussing, as I posted, ICE vs EV, well there's a thread for that, and great place to post the comedic anti CH & EV BS. This thread is more about, what's available or coming. Hence the title "EV in TH".... TH...TH... TH, not China, not the UK, not the grid or charging stations outside of TH. Not the laws, mishaps, insurance, battery repair/replacement cost outside of TH Not what your 3rd cousin's friend's boss told him about his Uncles EV, 10 years ago, and what a POS it was. Vanilla Chocolate Strawberry ... BEV, Hybrid, ICEV ... options about ENJOY
  10. As stated earlier, no real need to be 'off' the grid, as only cost 27 baht to have, JIC. But if I had redundancy with 2 inverters instead of one, doubt if I'd stay connected. 2 reasons for solar ... I posted today ... Last year / 2023, saved 34.8k baht w/Solar vs PEA https://aseannow.com/topic/1268214-solar-8kw-hybrid-inverter-w10kwh-upgraded-to-20kwh-in-sept-2022-essbattery-not-diy/page/10/#comment-18881804 Petrol would cost me 55k baht a year (20k kms of local driving) with today's 91 price of 39.28 baht per Liter. https://aseannow.com/topic/1246109-ice-vs-ev-the-debate-thread/page/56/#comment-18882728 34.8 55 ฿89.8k ... direct savings from having solar ฿445k ... cost of Solar system = <5 year ROI
  11. News- blip implying Thais may be displaced from Myanmar soon .... Got to love the photo though in the news-blip Couldn't start a new thread in TH News https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-navy-on-standby-for-potential-myanmar-evacuations-amid-escalating-conflict-2 RTN prepares for Myanmar evacuation amid conflict "The directive came from RTN Chief Admiral Adung Pan-Iam, who has instructed the Region 3 commander to prepare two frigates, HTMS Saiburi and HTMS Prachuap Khiri Khan, and two landing ships, HTMS Saiburi and HTMS Mattaphon, for potential evacuation operations."
  12. Already stated above, his vids have been debunked before
  13. Another day, more petrol price increases, more saving owning an EV Knocking on ฿40 a liter 😲
  14. China or all things Chinese from that youtuber. I'm all for free speech & expressing one's opinion, but not constant lying about most things EV. He's a joke and can't believe anyone wastes their time viewing anything of his, after you realize they're so false. I'm always happy to entertain ...
  15. Especially from the ultimate CH hater, who puts out false vids over & over. He has no credibility in anything he posts. They're not even good for laugh. @Photoguy21 please post that crap on the ICE vs EV thread ...
  16. Maybe this would make them happy, and give Tesla & EVs a good review ...
  17. They really say anything now to disparage EVs ... too funny
  18. I'm surprised they sold so few at that price. When announced, I was keeping my eyes open for them, and haven't seen a one. As daughter was needing a new car, and that seemed better than their Celerio (get what you pay for) & Swift, (overpriced styling), so thought maybe a boring salon at that price might be a decent value. Still yet to see one. Posted earlier, she peeked at the BYD Dolphin but wasn't impressed, and ordered an Atto 3 instead. Doing some peeking, and seems a couple countries have discontinued making the Ciaz. Maybe Suzuki TH is just getting rid of stock. Suzuki departed China Indonesia ... "Due to poor sales, Suzuki stopped sending Ciaz to dealers since December 2017." Philippines ... "In March 2022, the Ciaz was discontinued" You really have to look under the hood now of days, as legacy dealers may not be what you expected. Toyota & Suzuki have a very close relationship, unfortunately for Suzuki, as their BEV was Toyota's 'wheels falling off' model, hopefully rectified. "Toyota Belta The Indian-made Ciaz has been sold under Toyota badge as the Toyota Belta in African countries such as Egypt since November 2021. The "Belta" nameplate was previously used for the Japanese domestic market XP90 Toyota Yaris sedan/Vios"
  19. April 2024 ... Average ~33kWh per day, w/high of 46.8kwh used April 2nd 988kWh = ฿4475 PEA bill
  20. Guessing he wasn't the exemplary prisoner, maybe a few fights with other prisoners and or guards, squashing any chance of getting paroled. It's pretty bad when your father pressed charges or testifies against you. 21 convictions prior, and they're just the ones was caught committing, and they had enough evidence to convict. Seems to read as a bit of a violent predator type.
  21. No, as they are not very comfortable, unless extremely modified. Plus add a whole new driving physics, although some shade would be nice. I've considered adding one to the scooter a few times. Would only do if it had a quick release for easy removal for when not brutally sunny out. We just take the car, as parking isn't that big an issue where we live. Although a saleng would defeat the purpose, almost, of taking the scooter.
