Thanks.  As I use Android I downloaded/installed it from Google Play vs the link in the Facebook image. 

 

Google Play shows the new app  being added 18 Sep 2024.   After installing it from Google Play I used my logon credentials that I used for the original app and I was kinda expecting a rejection along the lines of needing to register again, but it accepted my logon credentials and also sent me  OTP to confirm/complete the logon.  

 

And all info from the original app such as my EV info, payment card number (redacted), my current Wallet amount of a little over one hundred baht, and all the other info from the original app  was indeed showing in the new app.   So, all the info does automatically transfer over from the old app to the new app.   

 

Now you can still use the old app at least for now BUT when your log into the new app it will log you out of the old app.  If you log into the old app it will log you out of the new app.  Can't be logged into both at the same time.

 

Anyway, the new app is indeed available for download from Google Play (see below).  A little strange they just didn't update the original app via Google Play "automatic" update vs creating a new, separate app.  Maybe it has something to do with EA Anywhere financial challenges it has been experiencing regarding some bond payments coming due....you can google it and find articles about this like on the Bangkok Post.  Or maybe it just a technical issue with this app that required a new, separate app vs just automatic update of the old/original app.

Absolute Energy has turned to Absolute Fraud and the stock is down 90%.

What a wonderful green world.

A fake and misleading post.

 

Try quoting the number of fires/ billion miles instead.

Ok, you win. 90% of EVs catch fire. So don’t buy an EV, ok? Maybe stop talking about EV fires on this thread? Maybe stop talking altogether? Just joking.

It is not about winning, it is about factual information.

Just stay away from the EV propaganda cherry pot and we can all drive happily into the sunset 🌇. 

 

NB: I am not the one that start the fire debate, I just react to fake and obvious misreading information.

So why are you even reading posts on this thread, much less actually posting? Surely you’re not some kind of ICEVangelist like EOW, telling us what to do?

Whatever. I’m sure I’m not the only one bored with this number of fires discussion. My ignore list is still a virgin and I would like to keep it that way if you please.

How to turn 550,000 into 320,000 in just one year. 😅😂🤣

 

229,000 loss, if can even get a buyer. For 6,100km.

 

37 baht per km, or the same price of 1 liter of gas 95. 🤣😂😅

I will add that you can now add funds to your EA Anywhere wallet via QR Code/Prompt Pay in addition to debit/credit card. 

 

To the best of my memory when I registered with EA Anywhere around late last year the only payment option was adding the  debit/credit card payment option in order to top-up your wallet/pay for charging; otherwise, I would have never added my Thai bank debit card as a payment option. 

 

This morning I did two tests by adding 10 baht each time to my wallet via QR code/Prompt Pay and it worked no problem.  So, I then deleted the Thai bank debit card as a payment option as I prefer not to have any card info online unless I have to.

the entire automotive industry is undergoing a transformation like never before. the advancements and progress in electric mobility have gained significant momentum. i think it will take several more years for consumers and the market to fully adapt to the new realities.

 

right now, buying a new car is only worthwhile for those who plan to keep it for several years. the days of buying a new model every year without significant loss are over. this applies to both electric vehicles and internal combustion engine (ice) vehicles alike ...

We just took delivery of a Toyota Yaris Cross HEV  whilst only a hybrid it is very nice indeed and IMO better than the  CRV we had before, and I might add a lot less expensive than the current models on offer.

 

Better fuel consumption, better to drive, better acceleration, better cornering, better safety features and better (electric) seating and the wife loves it 🙂

The pricing of the new Aion Hyptec Ht come out and they are quite interesting

You obviously have never been in a Toyota then

Car interiors here in Thailand are varied with Honda and Toyota sticking to the more traditional colour scheme and the Chinese imports going for a more colourful approach.

(Although that has changed slightly with MG and BYD favouring darker colour interiors recently).

 

Some of the Chinese imports interiors are a bit of a shock to the system when you first take a look but if you own one you will adapt quite quickly.

 

My taste has done a full circle, have owned these:

 

1) Honda

 

 

2) MG

 

 

3) GWM

 

 

4) BYD

 

 

While the lighter/more colours interiors can be nice i still prefer a classy/classic black.

Apparently the regular critics we get on this discussion drives a 10 year old Yaris,

“My 10 year old Yaris is cheaper to run than an EV”

hence my choice of the interior from a 10 year old Yaris to compare to the Avatar.
