motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
... 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 ...- 73 replies

Traffic Ticket Statute of Limitations Extended to Two Years
motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 ...

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 ...

Government Okays 7.12 Billion Baht for Electric Vehicle Grants
motdaeng replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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)

Thailand to Launch SMS Alerts for Natural Disasters Next Year

14-Year-Old Girl Fatally Stabs Grandmother Following Heated Argument
motdaeng replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
... 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 ...

PM Faces Pressure Over Thaksin's Alleged Hospital Fake-Out
motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 .... -
