We have spent enough time answering the question:

 

“Is it possible to charge an EV on a long trip in Thailand?”

 

The answer is yes - so let’s move on.

 

The only caveat being it is easier if you choose an EV with good dealer charging support. Currently the clear winner in Thailand is MG. GWM has promised the same but has yet to be rolled out. Tesla has recently set up a company in Thailand and has a reputation of offering the best charging support of any EV manufacturer. 

 

MG fast DC charges charge at 94 kW DC adding 410km/hour so a 22 minute charge adds 150km of range. Tesla charge at twice that rate with some cars charging at three times.

The road tax, per annum, for the MGZS EV is ฿1,300.

 

No idea how much for the ICE version, but I know it's more.

ICE version ... ฿1647

Help me ?  No they are just attempting to make out that there are charging points on the route I take when they are totally ignorant of what my route is.  A 12 year child these days have enough skills to firstly identify current charging points and then determine a route to use in order to use them but that is plain dumb.  And you seem another one who attempts to jump in with both feet without reading my posts. So, please show me my post in this thread where I asked for anything  as you stated I did ?

The OP has asked members to not ask any more questions on getting juice, which to me is a cop out, because the major factor with an EV is to not worry about juice top up.

Are EV's in LOS unsellable at say 6 years old...?

Expand  

Since most haven't been around for 6 years, guess it's a big ?????

 

Not sure what my ICE will be worth at 6 yr mark, as dealer / tent folks, only offer ฿350k, which is 50% off purchase of 2 yr ago.  See listed on FB for ฿400-450k.  I'd keep or give to our daughter before selling for ฿350k.

 

I know the EV will be my last car, as surely outlast me, barring any oops.  Actually expecting 20 yr / 300k kms out of it.  Hope everything lasts as long as the batteries & motors.  300 kms isn't really that much now of days.   Extreme negative, 1000 cycles @ 300 kms a cycle.

 

ICE @ 300 kms, just petrol cost alone is the price of the EV. 

300k kms / 11 kpL X ฿35 = ฿955k

 

So ... what other negative thought about EVs are you going to repeat or come up with ????

MGs come with an 8 year battery warranty and second hand models seem to hold their value but are only 3 years old.

My point was the cost of battery replacement at around 8 years old, who is going to buy a 6 year old electric car, it will cost as much as the car is worth to install a new battery bank...

Repeating the same query over again, doesn't change the answer, which you already know.  The warranty is good for 8 yrs 180k kms.  The battery itself, is good for far longer.  

 

But you already knew that.   

 

You guys just made my ignore list, sad, as I like some of your replies elsewhere.

That has nothing to do with my question, so let me put it very simple for you, ready.......

 

Who is going to buy a 6 year old EV if it is known the battery bank is stuffed at 8 years old, the battery bank change will cost as much as the six/eight year old car.

We all know that modern petrol or diesel cars go on forever and hold their value in THAILAND...

I would never buy a 6 year old EV...   that would be utter foolishness at the moment. 

 

So, unless the batteries become more ‘interchangable’ between models its going to be tough unless manufacturers agree to continue to make the same batteries for the old models at a price which warrants the change rather than a new car. 

 

OR... the industry goes a different way... Cars are not bought, but leased... and we re-lease a car every 3,4,5 years etc...  and then IF the industry goes that way, are we only going to get cars that last for 5 years?...  Then, isn’t that somewhat of a throwaway society and not exactly environmentally friendly..

I see impressive, but not scary.

 

Why do you say scary?

 

I think the small wheels ruin the look.
