@4myr, thank you for the detailed response. it’s appreciated to get first-hand experiences from ev owners ...

@jippytum, we owe you an apology. you asked a good and meaningful question, but the entire thread has turned into a heated discussion ablut ev fires. your topic is also being used by anti-ev trolls. they should start their own thread, something like: "we are the ev haters" there’s a dedicated thread for discussing ev fire topics, so please use that one for fire-related discussions. thank you! https://aseannow.com/topic/1335967-icev-ev-fires-worldwide/

... it's turning into an even bigger mess ... making things clear isn't exactly a thai strength ... ... if you can't convince someone, at least confuse them ...

that's a good one, "stricter enforcement". thai traffic laws haven't really been enforced in the past, so any improvement from nothing to even a little should be possible... oh, sorry, i'm dreaming! nothing we change ... TIT!

it seems to be a fake (few days old) news ... this strict ban should be all over in different news world wide, but it isn't ... obviously fake news ...

i agree, a few of the newer ev brands will likely disappear from thailand. some may only maintain a few main branches in big cities and will no longer have any presence in remote areas like nakhon nowhere. with brands like mg, byd, changan, and neta, i don’t think you need to worry ...

could you please provide some reliable sources to support your theory / personal opinion? thank you!

is that a typo? oh, i see, you're just thinking about it... .... but i can understand the temptation of having a nice electric pickup ... i "think" the same way ...

the xiaomi su7 is a good-looking car, and at this price, i'd be willing to take a risk! keep in mind, it's xiaomi's first car, so they'll learn and improve quickly ... btw, 30 years ago, i considered buying a jaguar because i loved the design, but i didn't go through with it. i knew how unreliable it could be and that it would be too expensive in the long run ...

if they say so ... that's a relief ...

can you name this channel? thanks ...

in 4 years a lot can change, in your personal life as in thailand as well ... it seems you're serious about your plan to leave your home country ...

not yet, but i heard that dozens of petrol stations are underwater and no longer usable...

thailand has many ev owners, but have you ever met one who wants to return to driving an ice vehicle? an other example: norway sold this august 94% full electric cars ... this report focuses on the us, but fortunately, most people around the world have realized that the us is no longer the leading country. who really cares about what's happening in the us... (a country with 50% of trump voters say it all ...)

just a short video for those interested in understanding the differences between hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and electric cars (BEV) ...

i just want to point out that a hybrid car and a plug-in hybrid car are not the same thing ... (it’s like comparing an orange and a banana, both are food, but they’re not the same) so, if you call your car a hybrid and tell people you can charge it, you're basically showing that you have no idea what you're talking about ... never mind!

i assume that you have a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and not just a hybrid car ... (you can only refuel a hybrid car with gasoline, not electricity)

good idea, but will it end up like the tsunami warning system ... unreliable and ineffective after a few years? (thais seem unfamiliar with the concept of maintenance ...)

contact AA?

your comment is just sad and highly inappropriate ... a person has died and your first reaction is to joke about it ...

... are you calling my post an absolute BS? ... if so, please can you explain, thank you.

i'm sorry, but i can't answer your questions because i don't own a phev nor a byd. hopefully, other forum members can offer more help. that said, i'd like to share why a fully electric vehicle (bev) is the choice for me personally: with a phev, you get both the pros and cons of electric and combustion engines. this includes maintenance costs, fuel and electricity expenses, driving comfort, noise, vibrations, and emissions. the 18 kWh battery in the byd sealion 6 is put under considerable stress, especially at high and low battery levels. frequent charging cycles can also lead to faster degradation. the higher engine power in the byd sealion 6 comes from the electric motor, offering 145 kW of power, while the 1.5-liter combustion engine provides just 72 kW. when full power is required, the (cold) ice engine has to "spring in", may creating noticeable noise and vibrations. to be efficient and perform well on long trips, a phev needs to be charged regularly, the same as a bev. i drive about 400 km on day trips each month, and i take two longer road trips a year (lasting 2 to 6 weeks) covering 2,000 to 4,000 km. typically, i (we need to ) take a 30-minute break every two hours, which gives me plenty of time to charge the battery, and i'm also never in rush on long journeys ... for some, a phev might be a better fit than a bev. however, i'm not sure all phev buyers fully consider also the potential drawbacks ...

did you read the report? clearly not. it's really sad that something like this has happened. by the way, respect is a two-way street.

isn't it the duty of a new prime minister to do a better job than their predecessor? in my opinion, this includes addressing and correcting injustices and mistakes made by the previous government. try avoiding responsibility for events that happened in the past (even just six months ago) clearly shows the kind of ethics this person has – none at all, as the whole thaksin family ....

sorry, my bad (english)... of course decades not centuries ...
