And you believe ICE's get sold like hot Cake? Just have a look for the European, US American and Japanese Car Industrie, they are all in trouble.

Second hand values on ICE  vehicles are still very good   Insurance in EU and UK on ICE vehicles is half  of EVs   80% of vehicles sold are ICE  , no one actually wants EVs  most EVs are forced sales to company users due to business taxation  , very few private buyers want them or could ever afford them...But my main point is that they  have no value  as second hand vehicles  and that is worrying the banks, finance companies as they lose money on every one sold or financed ...

…no one actually wants EVs…

How do you account for the thousands of EVs that were booked during the recent car expo in Bkk? Were guns stuck to the sides of their heads?

…very few private buyers want them or could ever afford them…

I wouldn’t consider myself rich and yet I have an EV and a PHEV. My EV was no more expensive than a comparable ICE. In fact, my EV is superior to a comparable ICE in almost every sense.

 

…banks, finance companies as they lose money on every one sold or financed ...

I didn’t realise financial institutions were now in the business of selling cars. In my time, they made money from loans interest…

You should be fine.  You just need to get a better idea of how much current each phase typically carries when you have everything turned on.  Use the electrical meter reading (may have to convert KW to amps) or use a clamp-on ammeter you can buy off of Lazada/Shopee pretty cheap.  Balance as/if needed based on the current draw reading.

 

what are the advantages of a fixed wall charger costing 30k-50k thb compared to a mobile charger (e.g., feyree 32a 7kw, around 6k thb)?

 

for my needs, 7kw will be enough, and i won't need the charger for on-the-go use. the feyree also comes with a user app.

so why spend significantly more on a wall box?

 

thanks for any feedback, motdaeng!
