No the shark is too expensive for me and I dont want plugin hybrid for the same reasons KhunLa explained.

Wife says, she saw somewhere that BYD announced a full electric pickup in TH for the end of the year. Did anyone see this? I m reluctant to buy the riddara rd6 seeing the issues Neta V owners have now. Neta even had dealerships, but very little repair centers and no spare parts. Geely seems in the same situation to me. Therefore my hope for something affordable pickup size from BYD.

If you see the prices in China for exactly the same vehicles, and if they are produced in TH, then there is still room for nice discounts.

Yeah, when you get older, you dont want to drive around in a pile of rubbish like a homeless, you will feel that life is not infinite and you wanna have something nicer. Now check the good info here and select the EV of your dreams, then report here that we can all learn something about this car.

Yeah well, this is a little bit out of my budget. Lets see if the price war continues and the shark falls to 1M. And yeah @Photoguy21, I m running a Diesel where you could do 1000km without stopping. But I d rather have something that goes 300km which I can charge for free. Solar is a no brainer if you have a house or land and if you are not completely unable to do manual work yourself. But if you can pay for petrol, it is nice, unfortunately not everyone is rich.

Oh this is really bad news. I was looking forward to the RD6 and I m still 8cm taller.

They will not ask you if you want to try or not. They will mix it into the bread, cheese, yogurt whatever.

The underground cable with the digital meter is probably better quality for cable size, so I would keep this. Then you do like the guys said: ATS automatic transfer switch. You install the inverters near the new house supply and run your own underground cable to the old house. Old counter and line will be removed there. If you ever run down your batteries in the new house, you switch both houses via the ATS to grid. And let a guy who knows about electric installation draw it all for you.

Thanks Pib for providing so much detail, this is really interesting. I wonder if the other chines brands also have such sophisticated cooling options as BYD. I see a lot of complaints about Neta V mechanics and aircon, but nothing about battery cooling. This makes me think, they might just not have it.

Isuzu electric pickup.

That's nice, but I'm waiting for the Atto2. When will it come?

I've had the same thoughts, and a couple of weeks ago, I joined the neta V facebook group. Its all in thai, but you can accept automatic translation. And actually I've changed ideas about the neta v. Not that I'm against repairing cars myself, but not even the dealers or service agents can get spare parts. Also there seem to be multiple failures in the same car, starting from inside door knobs cracking off, until water in the gear box oil? do they have gear boxes? aircon seems to break in all of them.

Looks like they liked your promotion video and they are asking for more. I would spend a couple of hours learning basic video editing and make them another one with " Bluetech warranty scam..." yellow title in the picture ... That's probably the only thing you can do. But maybe you can become a youtube star and get your money back in this way. Thanks for letting us know about this company. As this gentleman said:

Seems a pocket car for the price of a netaV, not gonna come to TH.

I wonder if in Thailand mealworm is allowed to be mixed into bread, cheese, fruits etc. like it is now in the EU. To increase health and wellbeing of EU citizens, and as there has always been a high demand of mealworm powder, the EU clowns have legalized upto 4% of mealworm in bread, and other foods. Here is the link to the EU bulletin: 2025/89 of 20 January 2025 authorising the placing on the market of UV-treated powder of whole Tenebrio molitor larvae (yellow mealworm) as a novel food and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32025R0089 Long time ago they would have closed a bakery, if they had found such worms in the bread. But now are new times and new regulations.

With the picture of the corrosion, they should not have asked for more. These companies fear social media posts. If you could make a shake free video with a tripod, you would get some thumbs up and comments.

Yeah, thanks, that seems good! The first post I saw has a towbar.

Yeah seems the right way of thinking. The kWh is your Diesel. For 10L of Diesel or for 20kWh you can drive 100km. Tiny cars might take a bit less, you will figure it out when you have yours and how it will perform with your driving style. Maybe you drive slowly, then you can do 100km with 12kWh or 7L of Diesel. And solar on your house is just the next logic step. Because you want free Diesel.

Have you played with LiFePo4, especially the bigger cells, and brand new cells? You might be surprised how lightweight and how much less volume they have, compared to the same capacity as lead acid . My guess is that the same weight of LiFePo4 would give you maybe 4times the range of lead. The reason is that with LiFePo4 you can really use 80% of the capacity where lead will be destroyed very fast if you do this too often. What you might wish to stay away from is second hand LiFePo4 from Aliexpress or Lazada. These cells are half dead and each cell is different from the others, resulting in need for heavy balancing. But new CATL or similar brand cells directly from China are a good option and the price has dropped significantly. If the vehicle can run on lead acid, it can run on LiFePo4. With double the capacity of the LiFePo4 (because they are smaller and weigh only half) , your current draw would not stress these cells to a level where cooling is required. If this was the case, then your lead acid would already be boiling.

Yeah this is very cruel to take dogs instead of horses 🙂 . You should go electric LOL

Does this have a LiFePo4 battery? What specs do they provide for it? How long does it charge and what type of charger do you have?

No subsidy, but they can provide a pickup for under 1M. I expected people to jump on any electric pickup, but this seems not the case. Diesel seems still too cheap at 40B and a pickup only takes 10L/100km LOL. I suppose the BYD shark will also not be produced in TH.

Seems ok for short trips. How is this seen legally by the Thai? Is this the same like these motorbike tricycles which are kind of illegal but nobody cares? There however I assume that most of them have an insurance for the motorbike.

Yeah this is what wife says, can just let them deliver the stuff. Therefore the little digger... gives a reason for the Pickup 🙂 By the way, the excavator in the picture is also electric. 60k B , but they want 160kB delivery from China LOL.

Yeah, actually this gives a good reason to buy the Riddara. The aim is to get half a palette of concrete blocks and some cement, 2m solar panels etc. from time to time. A trailer would be nice here. Also I feel the need for one of these little diggers. They weigh from 550kg + . Let's hope 2025 is as bad for EV as the previous year, with another big round of price cuts.
