webfact Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 EGAT launches No.5 power-saving labelled electric motorcycles BANGKOK (NNT) - To promote energy saving and encourage people to use electric motorcycles, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has launched the No.5 power-saving electric motorcycle. EGAT aims to encourage people to use 21,000 No.5 power-saving labelled electric motorcycles per year. Energy Minister Sonthirat Sonthijirawong presided over the signing of a memorandum of understanding on the No.5 power-saving labelled electric motorcycle project, between the EGAT and partner agencies in the energy advisor project to raise the standard of electric vehicles to a high level of efficiency. EGAT has recently launched No.5 power-saving electric motorcycles and attached a No.5 power-saving label to them. EGAT aims to encourage people to use the No.5 power-saving electric motorcycles to achieve cost savings of 183 million baht per year. EGAT will be attaching a No.5 power-saving label to electric motorcycles from September. Plaques of honor were presented to agencies that are participating in the energy advisor project which has operated since 2018 to allow electricity users nationwide to use electricity efficiently through various measures, as well as support the goal of reducing overall energy use. In the future, the EGAT aims to reduce electricity consumption according to the 20-year energy conservation plan by 30 percent by 2036. Electricity consumption has already decreased by eight percent. -- © Copyright NNT 2019-08-30 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever done a study on cost of overnight charging against cost of fuel bought during a month. Can't imagine that the charging is cheap. The electricity producers have to make a profit just like the oil companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These would only help the environment if the power comes from renewable sources. If the generating plants use coal or oil to produce electricity the inefficiency in the process means these will be more damaging to the environment than other vehicles.

Coal fired stations run at between 30% to 40% efficiency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clothes pegs and cardboard worked on my push bike when a lad. Cardboard could be substituted with plastic that way when they fall off they blend in with the other roadside rubbish.???????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
