Gingers are quite murderous on wildlife outside. My son had a Ginger, now sadly departed. Inside the house, spiders, flies, cockroaches, even mosquitoes - she was a killer.

Lacessit Posted August 5, 2024 Posted August 5, 2024 Goggomobil sports, with all the safety features.........

He does go outside occasionally and comes back, a couple of times we've forgotten to bring him in and he's sat outside the front door at 6am. Officially, he's my eldest daughter's cat, but she now has a cocker spaniel and I get to look after him. 8 hours ago, KhunLA said: I like mine better ... I used to own at ATV adventure business, the whole fleet was 2 seater UTV's with a honda 150cc clone engine. Great fun, and the police didn't mind us going on the road. I would have one as a play thing if I could get an EV model. 1

An LFP battery would probably make it a bit heavier, with a shorter range, but it would be ideal for running around town, to Central Plaza too (if they would let you park it there).

KhunLA Posted August 6, 2024 Author Posted August 6, 2024 Real degradation, and, older models, different chemistry. 200k miles = 320k kms, or 16 years for our 20k kms a year driving, if we continue at that rate. At today's petrol savings of ~฿42k or ฿54k a year, depending if all local driving is charged w/PEA, or latter savings, w/Solar. Total savings over 15 years respectfully, ฿672k & ฿864k. All things being equal, for easy math, as surely they will change in the future. That's the amount we'd save, and also the amount, ฿864k, it would cost to drive the ICE version of our EV, MG ZS. Accurate #s, since owned / own both. So not only did it cost us to buy the ICE version for ฿695k, it would cost another ฿864k to operate it, not counting oil changes (30+) and tune-ups (~6 @ 50k kms intervals). Food for Thought ...

What would you call a car, that the owner uses only his battery & electric motor of his/her PHEV all year, and never used the ICE part of the car ? A diesel ... I would call the car a plug-in hybrid, but I can think of many creative names for the owner 😁 😂 😀 🤣. Since you and the cherry 🍒 farmer are so keen on including hybrids with EVs, let's also throw all the hybrid fires 🔥 on top of EV fires 🔥, just to get the party started.
Yellowtail Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 95% of trains in US are now classed as EVs per KuhnLA definition. General Electric Locomotive, driven by electric motors: 1
ExpatOilWorker Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 Maybe we should just classify all EVs as hybrids? After all they spend most of the time connected to a dino fuel ⛽️ burner and just temporarily disconnect, while out searching for the next charging station. 2 1

General Electric Locomotive, driven by electric motors: Not my definition. For me, IMHO, BEV is an EV. Just pointed out eow's hypocrisy, of singling CH out, for listing hybrids as EV, and not the rest of the world. I don't get the practicality (redundancy) of HEV or PHEV myself, unless living where CS aren't available, or BEV is not practical for ones lifestyle. Oh yea ... they're not for everyone 🙄

JBChiangRai Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 FWIW, I would classify a PHEV as an EV, but not a Hybrid. Or to put some ridiculous marketing spin on it hoping customers are totally ignorant Not a "Self-Charging Hybrid".
