thailand should be charged at least 4 times more than other countries, the same as foreigners have to pay to enter a thai national park ... ????

I thought the "granny charger" was just for emergencies? Is there a way to make the "granny charger" safe and you do not need a wall box? (12 h charging time overnight results in approx. 28 kw : 0.200 kw/km = 140 km range ...)

krungthai next savings: 1.50 % interest / via mobile app / it is only for thai ...

price list is from february 2022 ... http://www.evat.or.th/attachments/view/?attach_id=259603 you already can buy a tesla in thailand (grey import) ... imho, tesla has the best software, but not the best cars!

the volvo xc40 recharge is a nice car, but even with a roof-box maybe not what you are looking for ...

i also thought PHEV is the way to go. but today i think BEV is the right decision for me. PHEV: - maintenance costs for 2 engines (ICE and electric) - limited range if driven only electrically - fuel consumption is high when the battery is empty (extra weight) - petrol is more expensive than electricity BEV: + we usually don't drive more than 50-80 km per day + i can charge the car at my home + but we also do every year road trips (up to 4'000 km). planning some charging stops is not an issue for me. we prefer to have a lot of breaks and we have plenty of time! + with a BEV it makes also sense to invest in solar or to install a TOU-meter (time of use-meter)

this topic is 11 years old ... ????

are you sure about 3 kwh per day? that's 90 kwh per month! a few years back using under 90 kwh per month was free ..., don't know about today. your bill must be around 400 thb per month ... ????

i didn't see your topic, sorry, my bad! thanks to all of you for the recommendations ... i will order one from lazada!

looking for a simple plug digital power metering device. only for private use, any recommandation? thank you!

thanks for sharing all the useful information! the house and the solar project, well done, congratulation! i am sure, you and your family will enjoy the new home, and the new ev-car is also on the way, what can you wish more! all the best to you, regards motdaeng

by waiting an hour which safety measures have been increased? more umbrellas and more lights maybe? anyway, an independent investigation will hopefully be published ... in a few months time!

"Since there was no chance of fire" i like your statement ... i think, a fire risk still remains ... why have been there the fire trucks? because in case of a fire ... !!! please, show me a similar evacuation which took one hour, thank you.

how many people have been injured after one hour wait? non! what they did after one hour they could do it also after 10 minutes, a controlled evacuation! i do not think, rain or a short walk to the main building would have hurt someone ...

stock in a dark aircraft after an accident and seeing the fire trucks waiting next to you ... i am sure that let everyone clame down!!!

that is a good point! but how long did it take for leaving the aircraft? 40 min or longer? is there no possibility that after a crash the aircraft can catch fire? understandable, some people got into a "panic mode". i think, to get wet would be no issue for most of the passanger ... after this kind of incident, i personally would prefer to leave the aircraft safe and as soon as possible!

i don't know what is holding hyundai back to bring more ev-models to thailand ... waiting since months for the ioniq 5! if you are into design, a great video about the very new hyundai ioniq 6:

sorry, i can't help you find a contractor. please note that using shera wood 8mm means additional weight to the construction of 12 kg/m2 ... (eg. 30 m2 = 360 kg) i would replace the old roof with an insulated sandwich roof panel. it looks good and it also helps reduce noise levels in heavy rain.

sorry to gammaglobulin ... you did not ask about the air quality but you asked about "better quality of life" ... @ lacessit, i agree with khunla, in chiang rai we have bad air for at least a few months. see data from gaia station in chiang rai!

about chiang rai: this year the air quality was better compared to previous years. this manly because of the early and regular rain. who knows, next year it can be back to normal, extremely unhealthy air for a few weeks long ... for me personally: the PM2.5 under 10 μg/m3 is good air. All over 25 μg/m3 the air is bad and can be unhealthy. especially for children, older people and people with certain health problems ... @ lacessit: my view of the air quality in chiang rai is not so positive as yours, just because of one better year ...
