... there will be of course no ban on ev cars in switzerland ... !!! escalation level 3 as one of many possible measures: “The private use of electric cars is only permitted for absolutely necessary journeys (e.g. professional practice, shopping, visiting the doctor, attending religious events, attending court appointments),” the draft paper said ... https://urbantransportnews.com/news/is-switzerland-really-banning-use-of-electric-vehicles-in-the-country-truth-unveiled

"teslabjorn" raised some good points! i think he's right, some electric car manufacturers should reconsider their pricing policies for the thailand market ...

an other point to consider: if you would legally feed into the grid, then you won't spend big money for an EES! (or would you?) BUT if there is a power failure at night, you will not have any electricity, because you don't have an EES .... that makes also not so much sense, doesn' it?

if i am not mistaken, someone asked on the forum about the tesla powerwall ... price starts at 599'000 thb (14 kwh) !!!!!!!! https://www.solar-d.co.th/en/

what are the reasons for double the cost? would it be possible to buy panels, mounting systems, cables, inverters, breakers, etc. yourself and have them installed by a company? (like building a house and you only pay the labour costs) does it really have to be an approved installer? is there no other way? the costs for the permit (paperwork etc) itself can't be that high ... or am i completely wrong? the alternative with batteries is not cheap either ... especially when you consider the lifespan of batteries!

i am sure, the villagers and the police are happy with the result ... but it seems some foreigners see it the same as the villagers and the police ... it looks more like it was the aim "to catch and kill" and not to bring people to justic. why are there no injured on both side (see also link below), only dead body on the other side. do you remember the war on drug 20 years ago, the pattern is the same. thailand has a long history of this kind of justic and nothing seems to change . in so many incidents, it is clear the case of extra-judicial killing. how can someone educeted defend and support that ...? just a few killings from the last few months, only from the province chiang rai:

i'm always asthonised how many on this forum show support for "killing before justice" and also think that's a good thing! i assume that everyone involved will get paid a big bonus so that the truth of such actions /crime (happen every often here) does not come to light ... personally, i hope never have to meet such a person (a killer from the police or military), because i will not know what this person will do to me or my family ... the law should apply to everyone at all times, without exception! or is there a line where the legal system should not be applied? i am not aware of that ... just think about it, thank you!

thank you for the update if the ioniq 5 or 6 can be ordered in thailand this year, then i will try to visit the expo in bangkok ... (it is a 1'600 km return journey for me!)

as I understand, it is a special licence plate for car-test-driving ...

it seems, tesla does some test driving in thailand ....

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.
