a bit too harsh, but overall, i would agree with you on this one ...
-
well said ... thank you!
-
why do you like to act clueless? are you really that lost, or are you just trolling... or maybe both?
-
it seems non ev owner have range issue ...

wouldn't it be better if you first gained some basic knowledge about electric vehicles before commenting on topics you clearly know nothing about? your posts reflect the typical attitude of an ev hater, someone who has no real interest in learning about ev's and just wants to troll ...

A question on sibling responsibilities'
motdaeng replied to earthscar's topic in Family and Children
i agree with that; in case of an accident or emergency, any government hospital must treat a thai citizen under the 30 baht scheme. is it possible that you’re being played? -
- as stated in the title: do you remember this? - probably not everyone knows that some countries have switched from driving on the left to driving on the right side of the road. - anyone who has driven a left-hand drive car in a country with left-hand traffic knows how challenging it can be (i did it for a few weeks), especially when overtaking! in sweden, this was the norm until 1967: drivers sat on the left side in left-hand traffic, which doesn't make any sense to me! maybe someone from sweden could shed some light on the reason behind this unusual setup ...

Tragic End to Dream Holiday: Brit Found Dead in Thai Waters
motdaeng replied to snoop1130's topic in Southern Thailand News
RIP ... if i put all the puzzles together, not sure what to think about it ... -
sweden was preparing to switch to driving on the right side of the road... the funny thing is, before the change in 1967, swedish people drove their left-hand drive cars on the left side (!)... sorry, i only found a facebook link to this bbc report. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/oWsU6FU3Jskar5kC/?mibextid=Mk4v2M

i am not a tax expert at all, but this is how i would approach it: if my portfolio (savings, investments, but without property, car, valuables, etc.) amounts to 10 million baht as of 31.12.2023, and i have proof like a bank statement. under the current tax law, i could transfer a total of 10 million baht to thailand (either in one year or over a time of a few years) without having to pay taxes. the income or profit from 2024 onwards will not turn into savings, neither now nor in the coming years. however, i wouldn't push at this moment the boundaries of the "saving law" too far, with property or stockmarket selling etc

"Why Hybrid Cars Might Be More Expensive in the Long Run: Hybrid cars, which utilize both electric motors and petrol/diesel engines for power, are often promoted as an eco-friendly choice. However, these cars may end up costing you more due to their high price and less-than-stellar real-world fuel economy. While hybrids can be incredibly fuel-efficient in city driving, longer trips on highways may not be as efficient as anticipated." https://vorsprung.com/blogs/blog/why-hybrid-cars-might-be-more-expensive-in-the-long-run?srsltid=AfmBOooyBB20KhAfvNZFkPAR8oXsBA7BJmi4EZ2bTI6Ob6vLvCsAYAKF i'm pretty sure that most hybrid owners have no real understanding of how a hybrid works or how to drive it to get the optimal efficiency. in my opinion, hybrid cars are a cleverly packaged deception, and no one of the buyers really seems to care about it ... if you don't mind, i'll borrow your statement: "A hybrid fully electric car makes a lot of sense for a lot of people, as the sales figures show." and by the way, ev owners don't spend much time at petrol stations since 90-95% of charging is done at home, except for those without a home charger or delivery drivers on the go ...

this argument has been explained to you countless times... i'm slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that you're not just a troll, but that you have more serious problems ...
-
it's clear that hybrid cars are more efficient than traditional gasoline vehicles. however, i get the sense that for many buyers, a hybrid car is more of a "feel-good" purchase rather than a practical benefit. do the advantages really outweigh the drawbacks, such as add maintenance costs, a higher price tag, the small battery being constantly pushed to its limits, limited benefits at higher speeds, and so on? nowadays, there are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (phevs) with very good range and also many affordable fully electric cars. personally, a hybrid would be the last thing i'd spend extra money on because, it just doesn't make sense ...

Thaksin Labels Pheu Thai Dissolution Lawsuit ‘Baloney’
motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"Thaskin will always be a convicted Felon ..." i am pretty sure khun toni sees it differently ... and he made it also clear, so all his corrupt and criminal dinosaurs-friends and even his emenys understand it this way ... -
i wasn't so impressed by the zekkr x compared to the zekkr 007. the interior of the zekkr 007 really feels like a high-end premium car! but the top model is the zekkr 001! i've heard rumors that the new version will be available in thailand next year ... estimated price for the top specs will be for sure over 2 million ... zekkr 007 zekkr 001 https://www.zeekr.eu/models/001

but they also experience the worst of internal combustion engines, such as: - fuel dependency - maintenance costs - noise pollution - limited efficiency - environmental impact

Looking to buy a new SUV - any recommendations?
motdaeng replied to fezza's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
i would say it differently: some ev owners offer an other option based on their long experience with ice and ev cars ... i haven't seen someone is forcing anyone to buy an ev ... ev's aren't for everyone ... -
is the toyota crown royal saloon an ev car? could it be you didn't realise, the topic is about "ev's in thailand" ...

"A new study contradicts common LFP battery charging notions, stating that frequently charging to 100% can damage the cells. But there’s a twist." https://insideevs.com/news/731210/lfp-battery-health-degrades-full-charge-study-finds/

i took a closer look at the data for the byd sealion 6 dm-i. it has an 18.3 kwh lfp battery with an 8-year or 160,000-km battery warranty and offers an ev range of 92 km on a full charge. if i conservatively estimate 2,000 charge cycles for the lfp battery, that results in 2,000 x 92 km = 184,000 km !!! (from mr. google: commercially available LiFePO4 batteries last anywhere from 2000 cycles to 10,000 cycles) on the thai market, there are various car brands offering phevs with smaller batteries and a range of around 30-50 km. after 2,000 charge cycles, their total km would be even lower ...! am i making a mistake in my conclusion? of course, it depends on many factors, like how you use the phev car and if you only drive in ev mode. anyway, even though there are some good phev's available here in thailand, for my personal needs, a 100% bev is my choice.

thai people (neighbors, relatives, etc.) often seem to be envious of anything and anyone, no matter what you do or have. unfortunately, we foreigners experience this quite often too. i hope you can rise above it, and that your anger passes quickly. good luck!

motdaeng replied to fezza's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
but the company you love, toyota, seems to be convincing everyone that they know the future... toyota have been working on hydrogen-powered engines since 1992, and they've been very successful, as we can all see ...
