Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Exactly my point, they stop selling because they can't compete against the new competition over the last 4 years. Who would pay 2m for a Leaf, when MG EP (better spec'd) was 1.1m, now 771k. Thais are much smarter than that. Good luck trying to sell them/Leafs @ 1.5m

25 vs 1500+ per 100k is a pretty wide margin. Times the EV # by 10, and it's still a huge margin.

MG ZS 2022 Had the ICE (2020) version prior, and got 11kpL w/E85 or 14kpL w/91, both about ฿37+/L now. E85 was ~28% cheaper Oct 2020. Added plus of charging the ZS with excess solar at home. Very positive experience so far ... https://aseannow.com/topic/1276247-ev-owners-…-real-life-experience-help-thread/

That Leaf has got to be one of the worst cars made, especially at the selling point when there wasn't much competition. Cutting their price 50% is a bit telling, and still overpriced.

Better include a lot more cars other than just MGs, as many have Chinese parts in them. Along with most products sold worldwide today.

If something to hide, then most companies here are hiding something. As it seems to be common place here, especially if asking in English, as suggested. @up2you2 Go to Gmap, and get the ph # of local dealer, and ring them up... or just pop in.

Favorite source/product for hamburger buns in Thailand?
Up from ฿90 ... as I sampled, I think about a year ago.

Favorite source/product for hamburger buns in Thailand?
Makes the BK Whopper (Aussie beef) a bargain @ ฿169 now, abet, no ambiance ???? Our local ma/pa shop puts out an excellent Wagyu burger at ฿159, and they even have AC. 300% sounds about right for food, 100% for beverages, IF having AC. Rent/mortgage have to be a killer here. Food is a tough business to crack.

Favorite source/product for hamburger buns in Thailand?
That would add a bit to the price of our burgers at the house. ฿25 per bun vs the ฿50 worth of beef (1000gr @ ฿300 ÷ 166gr = 6 burgers) ???? That's a hell of a mark up at a restaurant that charges ฿300 range for burgers, costing about ฿100 to make, actually ingredients. Let us know how they taste ????

Yep ... we're still going to hit 20k kms this year of owning, and we probably put on more, locally, since I don't have to pay to drive it. We go to restaurants within 1 hour or so of the house, that we wouldn't go to in an ICEV, as the petrol would cost more than the meal. Only because it's an EV, we racked up the kms beyond locally. One of the reasons we live here, as everything needed is within 3-5 kms of the house. Prior to here, always lived 15kms away from 'daily' shopping. Just now started doing O&As, June & July, as doing finishing touches to the house build, previous 7 months of owning.

In the car, as long scooter rides are days past with me also. Good for about an hour on the scooter now, vs 6 hr rides back in the mother land. Don't think a cruiser scooter would help, as my back is shot for sitting that long on a scooter. 3ish hrs in a car, and I'm ready to a stretch the legs & munch break.

Get about 320kms on highway at speed, 80-110kph, and 360kms around town, locally, speeds <60-60-90kph. Usable battery 46.3kWh. Exceeding consistently the WLTP rating of 320kms range, at their test speed of 47kph, under perfect conditions and probably not using the AC, which is never off when we're in it.
