My post was addressed to those who claimed they had seen no charging stations in Thailand, and the technology isn't good enough right now, in terms of range and charging time. I pointed out that there are many charging stations throughout the country, including rural areas - in fact, Thailand has one of the biggest charging networks in the region, and the technology is improving to the point where it's now possible to get a 700+km range. Yes, at present that happens to be in an expensive model - though I would seriously consider buying one should I be in the market to replace my current Merc right now, but, the fact that they can squeeze that amount of range from a battery shows that it is possible for other manufacturers to also do so. Indeed, it is often said in the motoring industry that the technology introduced in Mercedes S Class saloons points to what mainstream vehicles will be like in the near future - "The launch of a new-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has always been regarded as an insight into the future of the automotive world – and a sneak peek into what will eventually become standard equipment on everyday cars of nearly all manufacturers". Mercedes-Benz S-Class: technology breakdown - Drive Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised to see a cheap Chinese EV with similar range in the next few years. Both points are entirely valid given the OP. The current high petrol prices will only push people to EVs if they meet their needs and don't cost them too much time and effort in charging. As I said in my post, I'm not going to run out and buy one just because the price of petrol is high, but when the time does come to replace one of our cars - which won't be for another three or four years, there is a good probability that it will be for an EV.

Most Robinson "Lifestyle Centres" have charging stations these days, with my local one in Surin highlighted. Many MG dealers also have them. I currently don't have an electric car, but there's a strong probability that the next one I buy will be. Many have a range of over 450km these days, with the Mercedes EQS having an independently tested range of 780km, and fast charging times to go with it - from 10% to 80% capacity in around 30 minutes. What is now required is for condos to add charging stations, along with hotels. I could easily install a solar powered point at my house up country, but my condo building in Bangkok doesn't have them, so I'd be forced to take the car out for charging at present.

I knocked on my neighbour's door this morning and said, "Can you have my children? I'll be no longer than a few minutes, I promise." "Sure," she replied. I said, "Great! Get your knickers off then."

The radio station is running a competition today to win either £100 shopping voucher or two tickets to see an Elvis Tribute act. I don't know whether to press 1 for the money or 2 for the show.

A blonde, brunette, and a redhead all worked at the same company and for the same female boss who would turn off the lights in her office and leave early every day… One day, the three women decided that when the boss left they'd leave right behind her. After all, she never called or came back to the office once she left for the day, so how would she know? The next day, all three women left the office just minutes after the boss. The brunette was thrilled to be home early. She did a little gardening, prepared a nice dinner for her family, and enjoyed a relaxing evening. The redhead was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at the gym before having dinner and drinks with a friend at their favourite restaurant. The blonde was happy to be home early too, but when she walked upstairs to change out of her work clothes and into something more comfortable, the bedroom door was closed and she heard a banging sound… Quietly, she cracked the door open and was mortified when she saw her loving husband in bed with her boss… She closed the door without making a sound and tip-toed out of the house, angry and disappointed… The next day at work, during morning coffee break, the brunette and the redhead decided when the boss left early they'd leave right behind her again. They told the blonde their plan and asked her if she was in… "Are you kidding me," snapped the blonde, "I almost got caught yesterday!"

Vladimir Putin goes to see a fortune teller, curious about his future, "I see you in the back of a big black car, being driven down the streets of Moscow. People are lining the streets, happily cheering and smiling." "Am I waving?" asks Putin. "No," the fortune teller replies, "but the driver of the hearse is."
