Can only speak from experience, but our EV has no issues with inclines, and just back from very hilly, steep roads, which the ICE version of, would not have performed as well. The difference in power & performance is mind boggling. You really have to own one or test drive to appreciate the difference. OK, I checked ... wt 1290 vs 1570, ICE vs EV

Kms & age is going to be a bit irrelevant, considering the possible leak & igniting points from to to combustion of an ICE vs no flammable liquid being moved on an EV. No need to be the sharpest tack in the box to realize one has more potential of a fire over the other. 'oil worker' ... hmm ????

It's on wheels, that extra weight is almost irrelevant. And none of that @rpm BS. Torque is instant with EVs. Y'all people need to test drive one, before posting in the future. If you enjoy driving, and want performance, you are missing out with an ICEV. Fact, not just my opinion.

More Americans say Supreme Court is too conservative

That does seem to be the problem. No true agreed consensous, when life begins. The Constitution is there to protect all lives. Murder a pregnant women, and the baby dies, you will (in many states) be charged with a double murder. It's an issue for the states of the republic to decide, what is acceptable in their state, by those who live there. -
9 months in with our EV, and unless an impatient person when O&A, (or work on the road) then I can't think of 1 disadvantage we've experiences. Plenty of advantages though. Matter of fact, it's easier to find a CS than E85, though mute now, since about the same price as 91.

Not sure if your post in jest or not. But if not, then you really need to test drive one of the EVs, if you enjoy driving. There really is no comparison on the performance level of EVs over ICEVs. I didn't even bother test driving our EV, as simply buying the EV version of the ICE version we already owned. Just ready the specs was enough for me. ICE: Maximum power (kW (PS)/ rpm)84 (114) / 6,000 Maximum torque (Nm/ rpm)150 / 4,500 EV; MP; 177(130) MT: 280 Nm

Then read the link I posted, since they have a horse in the race, since paying out claims. More accurate stats, than silly YT vid for clicks.
-
Yea, but they'll still come back with another silly vid from anti EV'ers, and try to imply it's the norm. Simple search of facts counters their silliness. If they only did that first, they wouldn't embarrass themselves when posting.

Here you go ... now go away. https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2022/12/gas-vs-electric-accident-and-fire-safety.html I think it's against rules to post false info, hopefully this thread will be closed.
-
Plenty but why bother. A closed mind will never be opened. Besides, those stats have been posted many times before, in reply to other silly anti EV'ers posts.

Another one added to the 'list' ... ????

Really can't recommend this drive enough, (Hwy #1081), Nan-Bo Kluea-Pua-Nan.

EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Quick note, using the MG ZS ... ... IF on one of them lovely mountain/hilly, winding roads, turn the cruise control OFF. You'll regen a lot more energy back to the battery. While cruising through the winding hills of Khao Kho last week, I notice we were using 5kWh/100kms. Pretty cool, and just about triples your range if living there. On the flip side of that, leaving Bo Kluea to Pua, on a flat area, had cruise control on, then while on the hills, up, down and around, noticed we were using 30kWh/100kms ... WTF. Turned cruise control off, and what a difference. At time I noticed and disengaged, had 51% battery and estimated 148 kms of range left. When off the hills and on the flats to Pua, had 58% & 165 kms of range left. Could almost see both adding up while driving. Some impressive tech, and worth every baht over an ICEV priced version. -
Just came back from there also, after a bit of a loop, Nan-Bo Kluea-Pua-Nan ... fantastic area as you say. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a nice ride, Hwy #1081. Give it a #1 rating, actually a must see / do, and best so far in TH, AFAIK On topic ... didn't look for or buy any milk ????

Probably because the Taiwanese really don't care, and like things just the way they are. One party getting financial support to 'change' the minds, and it's not working ... IMHO Some would think, inclusive, all this is the typical stir up the doom & gloom scenarios from outside agitators, for their own financial (defense contracts) interests. A big nothing, except for headlines, as CH & Taiwan and too intertwined economically to change anything. Benefits nobody.

Skipped most of the replies after firs couple. 7-11 had plenty of Meiji, thin on DutchMill, our preferred brand, but that's nothing new. DM doesn't seem to get much shelf space, ever. Bought some to hold me over for brekkie cereal tomorrow, before Makro run. Always have a box of UHT on hand, Jic.

Returned from a short 10 day / 9 night O&A, using CSs. Some quick #s, to show the savings vs ICEV. Left house at 100% for 'us', so only 7.5 'paid' full charges, since using Solar at home. Others on PEA/MEA, ฿4 ish per kWh, so EV #s are on the negative side. Saved enough to either pay for 5 night of our hotels + some, or pretty much all our food. Explored non metro, non tourist areas. Full charge gives us 320 kms, from usable battery of 46.3kWh. Comparison of cost between MG ZS EV & ICE version, which we own & owned. Photo is self explanatory:

90 day notification status question
KhunLA replied to david_je's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I just did my 1st (completed) online, submitted 19th late afternoon, and got the approved email today @ 1827. Impressive actually. 1st time I submitted one, it was taking a week, and I did file it wee bit short on time, so cancelled and did in person. I enjoy my drive to Imm, but online was way too easy. -
Same with E85, Sept 2020 ish, and it was 29% cheaper than 91. Actually cast the same to go 100 kms, (MG ZS) using all 3 (91, (E20 or 95), E85), but performed just a wee bit better on E85, since designed for it. 11kpL vs 14kpL, E85 vs 91. Now they are almost same price, 36 ish to 37.5 ish. I keep on have to adjust my #s calculating the savings ... in a good way. Staying On Topic of course ... them damn CSs, actually easier to find than E85 petrol now ????
-
Same attitude as myself. 67 million folks died last year, and (thankfully), I don't think I knew any of them. Didn't shed a tear or lose any sleep, let alone care or wonder how I could have helped in some way. People die and or get seriously injured. Sh!t happens ... oh well. I'll be a stat one of these days, and only 2 people will care, and that's fine.

Weight of batteries have and will continue to come down drastically, specially if they can mass produce SS batteries. As @Bandersnatch stated, don't forget the 30kg of petrol (40L X 740gr), and I didn't add in below weights. Not much difference. EV torque makes up for any suspected 'weighted performance loss' Some weights, our MG ZS; 1570 kg Honda CX50 2199kg Honda CRV 1575 kg Honda Accord 1420 Toyota Camry 1501 Toyota Cross 1413 Toyota CH-R 1412 Benz 350 1715 (?)
