good luck then .... do you think TRD is as stupid not seeing if someone try to use a loop hole? please give it a try and report back, thanks.

amen ...

if you have a bank account in thailand and 15% withholding tax was deducted from you in 2024, you have the right to get this tax refunded. for that, the tax office needs to issue you a TIN... some offices make it easy, while others might make it difficult for you to get one. do you have investments in thailand? did you send money to thailand in 2024? were you a tax resident in thailand in 2024?

the only time i agree with you on this subject is when it comes to sending all these generals and thaksin to jail where they all belong ...

... what a mess ... your group solution sounds not very sustainable ...

just ask them ... that your condo has ev chargers is a good thing ...

no, not anymore... the pea denied our request to install a TOU meter ...

the energy consumption of an electric car, just like a petrol car, depends on many factors: the car model, driving mode, city or highway, flat roads or mountains, sporty or eco driving style, and more. all these factors combined mean that some ev owners pay as little as 0.75 baht per km, while others pay up to 1.50 baht per km (charging at home at 4-5 thb/kwh). however, costs do change if you charge using TOU rates (2.6 thb/kwh) or at DC fast-charging stations (about to 8 - 9 thb/kwh) ...

it's only cheaper if he has a TOU meter. that means electricity is cheaper from 10 pm to 9 am, as well as on weekends and public holidays. however, PEA has stopped installing new additional TOU meters for electric cars in recent months because the system has been used "illegally." an electric car doesn't need to be charged every day, it depends on usage and battery size. right now, i only charge mine once a week to around 60% (which gives me about 330 km of range). for longer day trips, i charge it to 100% the night before ..

agree with you on that! but the thing is, electric cars that can only charge on a single phase are usually in the lower price range and have smaller batteries (around 50 kwh). at a charging speed of 3.6 kw, they can recharge about 70% overnight in 10 hours, which is usually more than enough. in the end, everyone has to decide for themselves which "charging profile" their wallbox should cover ...

some electric vehicles can only charge ac using a single phase, which means that with a 3-phase wallbox (11 kw), only about 3.6 kw actually goes into the car. the byd sealion 7, however, supports ac 3-phase charging at 11 kw. if i'm not mistaken, using a 3-phase wallbox with just one phase reduces the charging power by about two-thirds also. my house has a 3-phase power supply. at first, i considered installing a single-phase wallbox since 7 kw would be more than enough for me. but my electrician pointed out that while balancing the three phases is possible, it wouldn’t be ideal. so, i looked into a 3-phase 11 kw/ 16a wall charger solution and found that the extra costs were only a few thousand baht. i've only had my wall charger for a few days now (so i don’t have much experience yet), but both the installation and the app work well, so far so good ... being able to charge at home so easily and conveniently is amazing... now all that's missing is a solar system to complete the cycle ... 5555 there are wall chargers ranging from a few thousand baht to tens of thousands ... the choice is yours ...

thanks for your response! it looks like you went very well-prepared with all documents ... maybe try a different tax office or the main TRD office in your province ... good luck! btw, in more than 10 years, my family (4 separate tax filings) has never had to submit a "bank statement" to the TRD, only the bank documents of the withholding tax ...

the sealion 7 comes with just one ventilated wireless charger. how does the built-in sim card work? i asked my byd dealer to replace my useless sim card (from singapore) because the connection keeps failing most of the time.

not sure, maybe it was just a misunderstanding ... the easiest way to get a TIN is to request the refund form the withholding tax (15%) of your thai bank account. for that you need a (free) document / statement from your bank. my guess, the tax office probably just asked you for this document, which is a reason for the tax office to give you a TIN and for activate your online account ...

your reliable source for this claim is .... thanks a lot for your clarification.
