EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Ditto, though not an EV thing, as same with the MG ZS ICE. We did order a real wheel & hub, as only 1000 baht more than spare donut tire. Fits in boot, though floor on top tier, and takes up a wee bit of space. Also bought a small floor jack for the ICE, both fitting under with space to spare. Yet to use either, thankfully. Haven't taken notice of the EV's boot yet. Hmmm.... Though don't have to bend over, as level floor, which my back is happy about. Sadly the ICE is 16", and EV is 17", so can't use. Not sure if I'll pick up a spare or whole tire/hub for the EV. 5 yrs road service, so not sure. Can't see my traveling without a spare though. -

Right on time, and impressed with MG's specs and estimates concerning the ZS. Range as state, actually better than expected at speed (90kph). Granny charger, as stated, and makes things easy to calculate & predict. "hope to be topped up by 1600hrs" -
Depends on a few factors, first, was it properly bolted onto the floor, or creted into the floor. Bolted in, then it's a simple swap, with a ring, and an easy DIY. The latter, and I'd hire someone, though toilets usually don't come with installation. Not that I've ever asked, but would think most vendors have someone they'd recommend. Might ask the maintenance staff at condo, if anyone wants a side job, if seen & happy with their work. Good Luck

Depends how long defrosted, and if vacuum sealed. Cook to proper temp, or more, and should be safe to eat. Your nose will tell you instantly when you open the meats. Freezing (again) kills most things also, why many countries require sushi meats to be frozen along the way to the plate. DO cook before giving to soi animals, unless not a fan of.

Unless crossing to the west side of the river, most folks, tourists/expats, have never actually been to 'Bangkok' (yai/noi).

MG ZS EV 2022 Started granny charging yesterday @60%, <3hrs added ~6kW / 11% Charging now since 0800 ish hrs, and hope to be topped up by 1600hrs Also hope the ESSs are topped up by that time also, as needing 13kW since 0730 hrs. Along with nephew working in carport, cutting & welding steel sporadically. Solar system handling the task nicely, with no assistance from the grid:

Sorry, missed the not so small fine print: Ubon Ratchathani The NaDi hooked me in ???? Not Udon Thani

It's called an idiot box for a reason. I haven't had TV programming since the powers to be decided to charge for it. Nothing they put on is worth paying for.

Where exactly are the cows, as I used to live at Ban Nong Kham, NaDi. Near the wat, sort of close to the lake. If our old groundskeeper isn't working, he'd probably be interested. GPS best, so I can locate.

I think you're way under powered for houses. Restaurant, with hotplates, you're going to need a lot of ESS kWs. For home use, can go by the units you're using now, and depending on present building construction, I would plan to use what you're using now in kWs, if all things, AC use & m², being the same. You'll probably use less, but good safety margin. We went from a poorly constructed / insulated townhouse to present well built / insulated house, more space. Rental; 1 old small AC, and usage at rental was 500-700 PEA units/kWs. New build, 2 inverter ACs (13&24BTU), New house haven't broke 500kW monthly yet. Probably will next month if we hit 20 a day. Now average 15kW a day, and ACs cool about 90m² for 10ish hours. First 6 weeks, we were conservative with use. Now more normal usage. We have 20kW for overnight (1700-0730hrs), and use about 7kW now. Most of that before midnight. That's after dinner, and no heating elements being used. Minimal AC use, laptop/TV (65"), till midnight, along with 2 frigs, and a fan, on the whole time. https://aseannow.com/topic/1268214-solar-8kw-hybrid-inverter-w10kwh-essbattery-not-diy/

Anyone looking for an extension cord for any reason (MG EV / power tools), I can recommend this one after 1 hr use. Plug/socket conx not warm at all while charger the car. Only 10m, and more than I need, ฿560 @ HomePro. I didn't shop around, so possibly cheaper elsewhere. https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1105137 -

Just picked one up at HomePro, rated 16A & 3680w, and using now. @60% ... see how it goes till sunset (3 hrs), should be @66ish % when done. -

Good query ???? Will have to ask or have wife actually read the user manual. I read part yesterday using G-lens. 2 hrs would give shy of 5kW, and only good for about 30-40 ish kms driving, so would think made for longer charge period. The unit itself was no warmer than I would expect. MG site does state a really long time to charge car if using, implying safe to. " "Estimated charging time (2.2kW 3-pin domestic) to 100% (emergency use) 26.5 hours" Get back to you, unless someone beats me to it. -

What is the biggest mistake in life ?
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Non personal ... world level mistake. League of Nations / UN being organized and led by 5 of the largest arms dealers in the world. Arms use to be needed as a deterrent to prevent wars. Now wars are started to sell arms for billions in profits. Never ending wars for never ending profits. -
I was looking over my shoulder the first month after I tossed the 1st TH wife out of the house. A death cert would certainly null & void my usufruct ????

Ours in last village, Udon Thani was 20 a month, and sporadic pick ups. We never used, and burned, same as here, as pack dogs from wat across the street would spread the trash all over. Nothing tried kept them out of it.

What is the biggest mistake in life ?
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Tough one, as all turned out pretty darn good, luckily & thankfully. ... Obviously, getting married first 3 times. ... staying social, peer pressure, what little I did fall under, at teen age, delayed a bit of growth and responsibility development. Fun, but less alcohol & drugs would have meant investing in the future more. Less thought of I'm not going to live past 30 anyway, so screw it, do anything. Could have retired before 30 yrs old, if surrounded by different peer group. Zero mentoring in those circles. ... not listening to myself all the time, probably #1 -

Did you ever take a TH taxi that is converted, say from BKK to your hotel, w/luggage ? Then all is answered ... tanks take up most of the trunk space. -

Less than 1 hr of charging, and it did add 2kW, as now @ 69% Stopped it, as the extension cord and plugs at wall is a bit warmer than I'd like. 200m extension cord, I did NOT unravel, yea I know, and warmed up too much, which carried over to the ends of. Need to buy a 20m high volt capacity extension cord. One used is not mine, but the house builder's, and krap to begin with. 2 prong plug, with 3 prong outlet on it ???? As long as it is, it's not very heavy, wt. wise, so a bit telling ???? -
Baked cheesecake and Black Forest cakes (when local or O&A) Steamed Bbq'd pork stuffed buns A few of their ready to eat microwave meals, if PTT Park doesn't have anything better on offer when O&A. Anything else I wouldn't call 7-11 food, as available anywhere. Ones that have their own coffee/bake shop, occasionally, rare, have something of interest on display. Their coffee isn't that good though. Moccona or a 3/1 Hazelnut flavored still better in a pinch. Although, now with the EV & V2L, we can brew or own at a viewpoint to wash that pastry or brekkie down ☕
