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 ...

that would be surprising me (but i'm open to it) ... just to clarify, i'm talking about the sea lion 07, not the sea lion 6 (phev) ...

... and once again, your private competition continues ... you never seem to get tired or need a break ... i don't think i'm wrong in saying that most members are tired of your privat statistics discussions ... i certainly am! please give us a break ...

some of you might not be familiar with the byd sea lion 07 ... the car is on sell in china for about 2 months already ... and test running in thailand (bangkok area) for about 3 months https://carnewschina.com/2024/06/29/sunday-china-drive-byd-sea-lion-07-with-latest-e-platform-3-0-evo-to-rival-model-y-globally/

at vinny41 and JBChiangRai, could you please stop your ongoing argument about ev numbers? it's slowly turning into a personal dispute that doesn't really add value to the topic. we all understand by now that statistics can be interpreted in different ways. please allow the other members to decide what they want to believe. it would be great if you both could agree to respond to any new statistic with a limit of 2-3 posts each ... i know, it's a lot to ask for both of you ...

they have been working on research and development for hydrogen vehicles for centuries, with only limited success so far, or perhaps more accurately, mostly failure ... but who knows what the future holds ...

that's a good question, hard to say. i estimate the byd seal 2025 will be seen at the earliest at the motor show in march 2025 in thailand ... hong kong also has left-hand traffic, and the first advertisements for the byd sea lion 07 are currently running. sales for this car is likely to start soon. as for the byd seal 2025, there’s no sign of it in hong kong yet ... i do believe that hong kong will sell new byd models before thailand ...

an other exemple, traffic signs with time-based speed limits! how can anyone driving at 80 km/h read the time restrictions? i can't, especially since i'm not thai ...

i do agree with that. if there are more than one line in both directions, i will not stop because it's much too dangerous ...

i usually stop at the pedestrian crossing, but i try to halt at least 10 meters before it and signal for them to cross. if a motorbike passes me on either side, i hope there's enough time to brake. sometimes, stopping at a crossing can be more dangerous than not stopping at all.

you are right about this "the busdriver could not see more than 50 meters before the curve" ... but as a bus driver, he's sitting in a higher position, so he should definitely be able to see more than just to the curve (see pic) ... never mind, TIT

i wonder, was there really an other vehicle ... it seems like clear sight for at least 100 m, no need to react sharply with a bus on this narrow street. no wheel tracks in the tall grass either ...

very strange, a video about aftermarket stalks for the tesla 3 highland: even though i'm not a tesla fan, i have to admit they've done a lot of things better than most others! but in my opinion, tesla could have a even much stronger position in the global market if they do improve a few key points: - elon musk is unpredictable, for some also unpopular, and not trustworthy... he should be replaced by an experienced ceo. - many big promises (from musk) that are not fulfilled - models are outdated, both inside and outside - quality was and still is an issue - more model variety - no driver display, no hud, no stalks anymore, no glass roof sunshade, glovesbox with no handle .. etc - lower costs for customers (i call the car more or less an empty shoe box ...) - lack of dealership network in thailand - there might be a few additional things to include

the entire automotive industry is undergoing a transformation like never before. the advancements and progress in electric mobility have gained significant momentum. i think it will take several more years for consumers and the market to fully adapt to the new realities. right now, buying a new car is only worthwhile for those who plan to keep it for several years. the days of buying a new model every year without significant loss are over. this applies to both electric vehicles and internal combustion engine (ice) vehicles alike ...

i had to try different sizes of capacitors till the fan worked that way i needed ... using this fan with reduced speed a few years already, happy with the diy solution!

sorry, it's maybe the early morning, but I have no clue what you are saying ... what was rolled back 1 year?

very well written, thank you! i see myself in the saying, "the more you know, the more you realize you don't know." for a while now, i've been looking to replace one of our cars, and i happened to discover electric mobility by chance. also thanks to the many interesting questions and discussions in this forum, i've been able to get a solid understanding of the topic. i truly appreciate the endless efforts of ev owners who take the time to answer questions from those interested in ev's. no one is forced to buy an ev, and ev's are not for everyone ...

animals ... why do drunk people quite often get aggressive ... shame on them, no country needs them ...
