I think it depends on the size of the head .... :-)

congratulations! the byd seal performance in space grey would also be my choice. i will wait a few more months to make a final decision. perhaps next year, some (for me) interesting cars will become available in thailand, such as: hyundai ioniq 5 and 6 / denza n7 / avatr 11 and 12 / byd song L ...

is the "free" byd wall charger also for 3 phase installation?

and i thought my username (motdaeng) was unique ... :-) congratulations on the "seal performance"; that would (or may will) be my choice as well!

you may are correct; there are many factors involved in the charging losses of an electric car. with so many variables at play, the truth may indeed lies somewhere in the middle .... https://www.icompario.com/en-gb/ev/charging-points/losses/

slow charging can result in more charging losses, which can be up to 20%! however, if you charge your car with surplus energy from solar panels, then the charging speed (charging losses) may not matter in terms of cost efficiency ...

i used to watch a lot of "the electric viking" videos, but not anymore. too many of his videos are a kind of speculation about what new breakthroughs will be (or not) on the market in a few years. imho, many of his videos are just a waste of time! of course, youtube is his main income, so he produces as many videos as he can, but I really do prefer quality and not quantity!

it's important to note that pollution isn't always visible, and just because it can't be seen or felt doesn't mean it doesn't exist. sakon nakhon is not better than other areas in east thailand ...

at 6:58, this video (27.10.2023) claims the ioniq 5 is coming this year .... https://youtu.be/CM55FT6FqjY?si=w6U2V1MVAsPrSjyC

upcountry in thailand, not many places have clean air. so, which area are you talking about?

sorry for asking, but I couldn't find it in the broschure. is it 80% and not 70% ... like many other brands ... ?

if you would like to have some basic knowledge about the byd seal, have take a look at these videos (available only in thai): https://youtu.be/yGtAORSKVjQ?si=EcimcGwKFeCdJNcg https://youtu.be/6hvm9vbKuqw?si=0teSB5PKrlXVjlU7

thanks for the clearing answer, you are a real star, with a lot of bev knowlegde, good having people like you on this forum! it seems i was wrong, the task was far too challanging for you ... btw, we are talking here about bev in thailand, just as a hint ...

could you please provide evidence that electric cars have to wait in line to charge their vehicles? it shouldn't be too challenging for you. thank you!

who says that? by making that statement, you disqualifying yourself as a safe and intelligent driver!

the new honda prologue looks much better ...

the charching at BYD is for sure not for free ... my local BYD dealer told me it is 7.5 baht per kwh ...

maybe yingluck could join the soap opera as his nurse ...

well done, you really can be proud of yourself!

it's important to consider the local environment and potential challenges like flooding when choosing an electric vehicle. fortunately, where i live, flooding isn't a concern; otherwise, i wouldn't consider buying an ev car! electric cars aren't suitable for everyone, as has been mentioned many times in this forum. people who prefer internal combustion engines should just stick with them — it's as simple as that!

will he be remembered by the young people for doing a few good things, or will he be remembered as a corrupt criminal who had money and connections to get away with anything, and as someone who knew how to manipulate the people and the system? (of course he is not the only one, there are many more little thaksin's, eg kh prayut etc) it is a shame ...

fair enough! i know thais who do not like the unequal treatment (for rich people) and thais who hate thaksin and his corrupt clan ... i would go as far as to say: thank thaksin and his corrupt clan, thailand wasted 9 years. thanks to thaksin, thailand will remain a corrupt country for many years to come. thanks to thaksin, every thai knows that if you have money and influence, you will be treated differently. thanks to thaksin, the poor remain poor, the rich become even wealthier (also through corruption). during thaksin's time as pm, he and his government had all the power to bring about real change for the benefit of the thai people. unfortunately, he became so greedy (and a narcist) and believed he was above the law, thinking he could do whatever he pleased.

fair enough! i know thais who do not like the unequal treatment (for rich people) and thais who hate thaksin and his corrupt clan ...

how many russians are happy with putin? how many germans were happy with hitler? and so on ... what are you trying to say? if people fall for a politician, does that mean they don't need to follow the law? or if a politician does something good for the own people, does that mean they don't need to follow the law? are you? by the way, politicians are voted in and well-paid to make decisions that benefit the people ... and not themself!

every new development or innovation also brings negative side effects. mass production of electric cars has barely been around for 10 years, and in another 10 years, electromobility will have further evolved because the potential is just started to kick in ... perhaps in 20 years, there will be better alternatives to electric cars, who knows. but internal combustion engines (ICE) have no potential anymore and can hardly be the future solution. we all should know, pollution and noise make people sick (or dying) ... if you live in a bigger city (eg. chiang mai etc) you know what i mean ..
