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

not the answer to your question, but the current tax law is: "savings before 31.12.2023" are not taxed when transferring to Thailand ...

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/

thai law or thai politicians don't care about discrimination. thailand is full of discrimination ... also against the own people! you can't do anything to change it; you just have to accept it as it is.

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!

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 ...

there are two groups of forum members discussing the new tax law: group A is made up of members who have studied the topic and share their knowledge with others. they present up-to-date facts and laws, helping everyone assess their own tax situation. they also highlight that tax authorities have various scenarios for implementing the laws, but how these will evolve in the coming months and years remains uncertain for everyone. group B consists of skeptics who argue that everything is still unclear, that the new law is not enforceable, or that it might never be applied. some of these members suggest doing nothing and waiting, as they believe nothing will happen at all. personally, i have a clear preference for which group i trust. a big thank you to those members for their tireless efforts and patience in helping me and other members to understand the tax law better. in the end, it’s up to each individual to decide how they will respond to the new tax law. i think in a few years (not months), we will all have a clearer picture about the "enforcment" of the law ...

sorry, but that's not correct. staying january to march and from oktober to december in the same year results in more than 180 days in a tax year ... snowbirds need to stay under 180 days if they like to avoid any tax issues . ..

no ... where came that idea from ...

and i thought thai authority love make things as complicated as possible ... btw. TM30 and TM47 took also some time to be in place ...

millions of tax taxes returns from foreigners ... that's an other good one, it's getting better and better! what do you expect the TRD to do? the rules and regulations have been communicated. the new tax forms should be accessible by the end of the year. the TRD doesn't need to do anything more at this moment. and the TRD will most likely not send a personal invitation to every foreigner? but i see you're "proactive" and reducing your time in thailand... well done!

i do not think that is his only problem ...

do you have some inside knowledge that the rest of us don't know about? however, the second part of your post contains some good advice ... thank you!

ok, thank you. we may or may not see the enforcement of this tax law as early during next year. but as of today, no one knows what the TRD will do. however, i don't think this tax law will just go away, especially since the law manly targets "bigger fish" (thai people and thai companies), and not foreign tax residents like us. everyone can decide for themselves: either play it safe and follow the law, which might mean paying some taxes, or take the risk and speculate that nothing will happen in the coming years or ever ... just as a reminder: if the tax law is strictly enforced, the tax authority can audit you for up to 10 years. in addition to the unpaid taxes, you'll also face a nice penalty for not paying them. it's up to you ... and as always "TIT" everything can happen ...

to anrcaccount: do you have a crystal ball that can predict the future with 100% accuracy? i'm curious to see how this all will work out in a few years. i'm convinced the tax laws will take effect—maybe not right away, but in the long run, most tax residents will likely be captured by the system and made to pay taxes ... btw: the TRD can force you to pay taxes even after 10 years ... just in any case you think you are "safe" the next few years ...

who owns volvo? isn't it that geely is the majority owner of volvo? and geely does have the final say (also business wise) ... may we can agree, volvo is a former swedish car company owned since many years by the chinese geely holding group ...

don't forget, he has the best medical care, which brought him back from being near death to a fit senior ... if his nose grows every night due to his endless lies, he has enough money and doctors who can work miracles to reduce his nose to its normal size ...

"... a commercially practical fuel will be widely available within the next 5-10 years." this was already said about 20 years ago ... copy from www: Hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role in the future of transportation, especially for heavy-duty vehicles (like trucks and buses) and in regions with strong government support. However, its widespread adoption for passenger cars will likely depend on advancements in technology, infrastructure development, and how it competes with battery electric vehicles ...

lazada, shopee
