Electricity consumption expected to surge in 2027 due to increased use of EVs
ev cars will play a role in the near future, and they might even be the future, who can say for sure? ev cars are not perfect, but they have a huge potential, which may solve many issues in the next few years .. internal combustion engine cars are not perfect either, but we did not see any big improvement for a long time ... however, ev cars are (at the moment) not suitable for everyone ...

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
another recognized expert is providing valuable insights into their experience/knowledge! would you please share your negative experiences with the volvo brand? have you ever own or driven a volvo? i believe that people associate volvo as a safe, premium vehicle that has distinguished itself in recent years through its quality, reliability, innovative design, and so on.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
few months back, i was able to test drive the volvo cx40, and I really liked it. i was very curious about the ex30 but the car unfortunately has some aspects that i don't like so much. i'm aware that i have to accept some compromises ... what i like about the volvo ex30 is the design, quality, safety, performance, etc. however, the following points don't personally suit me: - no driving instrument display - no head-up display - glass roof without shading - performance car with mnc battery (lfp battery ony for the single motor) - small trunk, same frunk - no ventilated seats - no v2l (vehicle-to-load) nevertheless, the ex30 is still on my list, also the byd seal ... maybe a test drive can impress me enough to make a final decision ... i'm also not a fan of tesla, even though their software and fuel efficiency are excellent ...

ventilated car seats
most premium cars today are equipped with ventilated or air-conditioned seats, as well as heated features. eg: genesis gv70

ventilated car seats
do the seats in your car have ventilation? on a hot day, after just a short ride with my current car, i already have a damp back! in a country like thailand, having ventilated seats would be a nice thing. relying on blasting the aircon at a very low temperature, which leaves everyone feeling chilly and uncomfortable, is not a very good solution ... when you're purchasing a premium car (2 million baht or more), would you expect having also ventilated (front) seats?

EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
why do you want to buy a hybrid? do you regularly do long daily road trips (300+ km) without breaks? electric cars aren't suitable for everyone. electric cars have many pros and also some cons. everyone should inform themselves to get basic knowledge before buying an electric car. from how you describe your situation, a battery electric vehicle (BEV) seems to be a perfect fit. assuming you live in a house and can have a wall box installed, your house (out in the village) will be ready for to charge your own BEV in half a day! (no nearby charging station is needed.) member "edwinchester" is a great example using an electric car ...

Building Costs in Thailand - Construction Costs of Houses
the house price can vary within a wide range, based on the interior, the quality of materials, etc. i would say that 70k per sqm should be sufficient for a high standard of building quality. however, i would not include the following in this price: furniture, kitchen, bathroom fixtures, air conditioning systems, media systems, architect fees and charges ... and, in 5 years, material prices and labor costs could also be 5 - 10% higher as today ... an estimate of costs from a contractor will provide more specific figures ...

Thaksin to get extra security and “adequate conveniences” while in prison
there's something wrong with your way of thinking. don't you believe that everyone should have the chance of a fair trial? do you think it's okay to just shoot so many down like a wild animal? killed also completely innocent people, and as far as I remember, some children and women ... let's say your son was in the wrong place at the wrong time during the war on drugs, and your beloved son was unlawful cold-bloodedly gunned down by the police. would you still give thaksin a medal? in my opinion, people like you are mentally ill ...

EV's and that continuing question of public safety..
how many combustion engine vehicles catch fire per day here in thailand? is every fire hyped up by the media (and by you)? of course not, because it is daily business ... @transam you are not totally against EV's (do you believe yourself?), can you please publish also every ICE vehicle fire? thank you so much!

EV and parkings
i'm pretty sure there are several ways to check the real SoH of the ev car battery . one of these ways is by using a tool called the "Aviloo" test kit, which is commonly used in europe. https://aviloo.com/home-en.html The TÜV-certified AVILOO PREMIUM battery test provides you with information about the state of health of the drive battery of your electric or plug-in hybrid car. The state of health shows you which extractable energy (expressed in the so-called State of Health or SoH) you can still use for driving at the time of the test, in relation to the new state of the battery according to the manufacturer.

What is a reasonable budget for a home solar panel system - any reccomendations for installers.
as nobody has responded yet, i'll give it a try. however, i only have basic knowledge about solar systems; other forum members are the experts. various projects are well-documented in this forum, and they have been very helpful in my decision-making process regarding a solar system! for references of an installer, please provide your location. why choose a 3-phase system? are there plans for future expansions? 3-phase systems can be more expensive for both house installation and the solar installation. you listed your energy consumption only for during the day. have you decided a hybrid system is out of question? what is your goal with the solar system? do you want to reduce electricity costs only, or do you aim to become more or less self-sufficient? how many hours do your air conditioners run per day? only in the summer or throughout the whole year the same? do you own an electric vehicle, or are you planning to buy one? how is the roof's orientation, slope, surface area? since it's not a DIY project, you should also expect costs in the range of few hundred thousand thb, even for a medium-sized system.
