Everything that's wrong with EVs ... an endless list
We noticed the same here with E85, as when bought the MG ZS (ICE) designed for E85, and at the time, 2020, price per 100 kms was about the same as 91, though 28% cheaper than 91. Just a wee bit better performance with E85. Now they are basically the same price, so why bother, especially when getting about 3 kms more per liter out of 91. Besides, E85 was/is harder to find than an EV CS now 😂 Actually surprised they haven't fazed it out, along w/E20. Why would anyone buy either.

Everything that's wrong with EVs ... an endless list
Don't need to defend our decision, as one of the best for us. I wouldn't mind people disagreeing with me, who actually owned one, or at least test drove one. Presented facts to back up their silliness, instead of guessing and what if scenarios. What if they just STFU. Just now, we have a thread about the imports & production of EVs in TH, do we really need an off topic post about Hertz rental car experience with EVs, not in TH. Especially when it's been posted at least 3 other times. Once with it's own dedicated thread, I think. Or how everyone is so unhappy with their EV purchases in the UK, and how expensive CSs are, and not enough or inop, when we're discuss how great the price is in TH, and more than enough CS, at present. Or one of the totally false YT vids how CH dumps EVs in giant graveyard, to keep the sales #s up, when it reality, it was a couple rent a car companies that failed. Or posting from all the ignorant, misinformed that post completely false or inaccurate info, that's been corrected time & time again. Only to repeat the same BS on different thread, and nobody is suppose to notice. Some people are actually interested, wish to buy in the future maybe, or just trying to learn from the experienced owners. Instead they get a bunch of false, out dated, inaccurate info from a bunch of total F'g idiots, for lack of a kinder descriptions. People ... do some research before posting and appearing really ignorant, or worst, extremely stupid. Just a thought.

What are you cooking today?
That's pretty easy. Here's a basic mix, and just adjust to your taste (usually chili powder) after all done in the pan. I use cayenne pepper, if use red chili flakes, the go light on them, as 2X the heat of cayenne. I pass on the sugar, as the green & red pepper have enough.

Thailand expects major rise in EV imports under new four-year plan
Topic is .... Thailand & EV sales & production. .... not the failure of Hertz rental, using EVs. You could repost here and probably get a better response, although that news-blip has been posted about 3 times already.

How To Make The Soft Eggs?
I use the same method, as I only cook hard boiled eggs, and want the firmer yolk.

How To Make The Soft Eggs?
- What are you cooking today?
Been making these the past 3 days. Make 2 a day, so we only eat 2 a day. Apple turnovers, ingredients; Apples, any kind Brown sugar Cinnamon Corn starch/flour Butter Puff pastry squares/PP (Makro) Amounts depends how much you make. I used 4 apples (medium size) and least expensive. Since adding sugar & cinnamon. Actually best apples I've bought so far ... go figure. About 2 tbsp of butter, apples, in saucepan, soften them up for about 2 or 3 mins, add 1 or 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon to start & about 1 tsp of corn starch, and continue mixing for about 2 ish minutes. Taste & adjust. Let cool down. Take PP out of freezing, trim 2 edge sides of plastic off, (make a folder) while keeping PP covered so not to dry out. Wait till soft to the touch, Add filling in center, wet the one edge lightly with water, and simply fold over. Press to seal. Preheat air fryer 200C/5mins, then place in, on greased foil, cook at 180C/5 mins, flip, and another 5 mins. If in a regular full size convection over, probably take 30+ mins to finish, depending on your oven. If wanting a frosting/icing, then simple; X/icing sugar, wee bit of milk, very wee bit of vanilla, if having, stir till desired viscosity. 4 apples made 6 so far, probably got enough for 4 more.- Thailand expects major rise in EV imports under new four-year plan
- Solar - 8kW Hybrid Inverter w/10kWh (upgraded to 20kWh in Sept. 2022) ESS/battery (not DIY)
Chit chatting with our installer this morning, as rung me up, and asked what & why, the wife was asking about, via email, "is it safe to go up on roof ?". Of course she didn't ask me, so I didn't have a clue. Apparently small roof leak, she wanted to seal, and simply wanted to ask about being near the panels if on the rood. No issues. Point of post ... he said they did 150 installs last year. And since Jan 1st, had/has 20 installs lined up, and buzzing by our house on the way to Ban Krut to install a system. Great the home owners are so much smarter and active with solar installation, and sad the govt/grid operators aren't as savvy, and taking advantage of the free energy source available year round in the topics. Damn embarrassing really. Another thing we talked about, and what I recommend when asked 'what I'd do different ?" which would be instead of our 8kw inverter, use two 5kw inverters. He actually doesn't install 8kw inverters any more, as many ask about PEA/MEA buy back excess. 8kw inverter isn't on the 'approved' inverter list, but the Deye 5 kw inverter is. 10kw for 3 phase, if heaving. Besides being an approved inverter, if wanting more than 5kw, then gives you some redundancy, if one as an oops. He also stated, PEA not battery friendly. So if considering getting on the 'buy back excess' system, hold off on hooking up the ESS/batties, until approved. One customer signed up, and they told him no, (PKK province), if having batteries. So he disconnected till approved, which they did approve, now will simply re-hook them back up. They really don't want us to be independent of the grid, or use a little as possible. Love their power of control. 🤬- What are you cooking today?
Top burner, we've/I've always referred to as 'broiler', in USA, here, I just say top heating element, since electric oven. Basically upside down 'grill'. Which I use occasionally, or at least set food close to it. Especially when making pizza. Bottom gets crisp'd on the cast iron on the hob/gas stove, then top gets melted under the 'broiler'/top burner. Did one just yesterday, meatball/under the cheese:- Air quality monitor?
Is 'air quality' the govt mentoring system ? If so, it's been criticized before for 'inaccurate' to be kind, readings. If i'm think of the same site.- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Suspends 2024 Presidential Campaign, Endorses Donald Trump
that's one opinion ... Failed ... far from it, and got name recognition, planted seed for next election, expressed his policies on a national level and found out, without Trump, he IS the frontrunner. Win wins all around in the pollical arena. Only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about. His FL gov/state policies ... well that depends who you talk to. FL residents don't seem to have a problem with him, and that's who he works for. Even managed a surplus in the budget one year, so cut the gas tax. Not really seeing any negatives worth noting, though confess to not pay attention too much.- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Suspends 2024 Presidential Campaign, Endorses Donald Trump
He can resign as gov anytime he wants, and he won by a high margin, when elected, so no reason to think he won't win again. "DeSantis won the November 8 election in a landslide, with 59.4 percent of the vote to Crist's 40 percent; it was the largest margin of victory in a Florida gubernatorial election since 1982."- Electric Vehicles in Thailand

You need to enlighten yourself about Lithium Ion batteries, and Lithium Phosphate batteries. Then get back to me. Both MG & GWM uses both types. As I stated, most are moving toward the LFP chemistry, unless LR or performance models. Ora Good Cat has at least 3 different models using different chemistry in a couple, same with various MG models, including our ZS (standard & LR) Also as I stated, manufacturers may use different chemistry, depending of location vehicle is sold/used. As much as these things are discussed ... repeatedly, you'd think some of it would stick. Have you been checked for dementia or Alzheimer's ?- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Suspends 2024 Presidential Campaign, Endorses Donald Trump
Wise choice on his part. Wait for years and he should be the front runner in 2028. Not sure how they get along, but would be a good choice as Trump's running mate & VP.- Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Not sure about that, as this states best 13 warranties on US cars, and only 4 get 10 yrs on drive train. 100k miles is only 16k kms a year and kind of low. For us, that's just over 6 years.- Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Ah yes, the marvel of electric motors ... at a preset controlled speed, the manufacturer controls. Have you seen people drive their cars ? Same car last some people 15 years, while other kill theirs in 5 years. Yea, bean counters got that one correct, with warranty what they can control.
