Interesting, but not relevant to this thread: "Electric Vehicles in Thailand".

What's "the PC"?

So the dictionaries which define electrocute are wrong? e·lec·tro·cute verb past tense: electrocuted; past participle: electrocuted injure or kill someone by electric shock.

Here we go again: e·lec·tro·cute verb past tense: electrocuted; past participle: electrocuted injure or kill someone by electric shock.

GSB claims that deposits of any amount are 100% secure and guaranteed. GSB claims it is the only bank in Thailand that provides full protection for both deposit and interest.

Yeh, that's why I used the word relatively.

Looking for a relatively high interest rate? GSB have a 30 month fixed account paying 1.83%, no tax deducted. This is equivalent to 2.15%, before tax. The interest rate for the final six months is 5%, so closing before maturity would not be prudent. Open to non Thais, but no joint accounts. Until the end of August, CIMB have a 24 month fixed account paying 1.9%, tax deducted = 1.615%. Open to non Thais, but no joint accounts. .

To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the per unit cost. Most, if not all, suppliers have a peak and off-peak charge. The only one I remember is the last one I used which was EV Station PluZ. These are located at PTT petrol stations: The peak rate from 9am to 10pm is 7.5 baht per unit and the off-peak rate from 10pm to 9am is 4.5 baht. I guess all the others have similar pricing. I think some have off-peak price over weekends.

"Do they really, or just the one you asked. " I've been driving an EV car for almost three years and, as I stated earlier, MG and/or MG dealerships have a policy of restricting the use of their DC chargers all over the country. You think I'm making this up?" "You believe they restrict, because they/one, told you so, but not the reason they told you ... interesting." I know they restrict; I have experienced finding them turned off until certain times of the day or weekend. I find the reason that one dealership gave me very strange and I'd love to know if, indeed, it is something to do with PEA or some other reason. "So what other vendor did you charge you EV at that day ?" It wasn't just one day! Any time I've been out and about, I've always had a plan B and plan C in case I couldn't charge at my Plan A charging station.

You seem to be missing the point. MG and/or MG dealerships have a policy of restricting the use of their DC chargers. They are switched off and not usable at specific, fixed times; nothing to do with maintenance, breakdowns or power outages. This has been going on since they were first introduced. It is not as widespread as it used to be, but it’s still happening. This seems very strange to me and I just wondered if anyone knows why they would do this. When I asked about it in a dealership, I was told it was something to do with PEA. Sounds strange!

Yeh, but the question remains: Why on earth would MG/dealerships restrict the use of chargers? Presumably they have a good reason, but what could that be?

Would you hazard a guess as to why MG/dealerships would restrict the use of chargers? It seems to be so obviously counter-productive. Madness, even!

At last! Hit the nail on the head.

Why will the price of electricity skyrocket?
