I'm another big battery bite rat.

The center is very helpful.

Coordinate with insurance. Insurance operates to change a big battery

@KhunLA

This might interest you 2023 MG ZS EV

initial diagnosis full battery replacement not covered by warranty at cost of £22K

Resolution

Cause of damage - Water ingress

The lease company have now admitted that the technicians at the garage are not at the required level to determine if the whole battery needs replacing. Apparently this was not known at the time when sending me the £22K bill
Diagnosis - damage to HVM module (located within the battery pack) and corrosion to low voltage connector and wiring.

Repair - Replacement HVM module, repair to corroded wiring and pins in the low voltage connector.

as far as I can make out full battery replacement not required 

No additional cost to end user

MG join the hydrophobic camp. This case is very similar to the FamilyGuy case in the UK.

I think there is a huge difference between the case in Thailand and the familyguy case in the UK

If you remember familyguy was asked to pay for a full set of replacement batteries for a MG ZS EV 2023 and everything associated with the battery model at a Baht equivalent cost of B1,024.719

In the Thai case  the largest ticket items are the Electrical Distribution Module  B32K , Labor costs for drying and cleaning B2.5K and Change EDM box B2,5K Total cost B36K

It seems that there is a possibility that water can enter through the pressure vapour values 

There is also a pressure ventilator in the headlamps

On MG ZS EV Generation 1 2019 it has been reported that some MG owners have had to claim on their car insurance as MG stated that water ingress in battery isn't covered by warranty

Adjusting that figure will destroy the value of the HiSo's Mercedes Benz cars, it would be a very unpopular move.

 

Look at all the HiSo's current models that has equivalent EV 'trim' from China with 0% tariff, BMW iX3s, Volvos XC40, the importers seem to keep the margin to themselves either to protect the ICE market. Same with locally assembled BMWs and Mercedes, price never come down

Carmakers flock to reduce production capacity. Chinese EVs park 10,000 vehicles at port

Thai car market collapses, lowest in 10 years, Japanese car makers-Chinese EVs Encountered a difficult situation, carrying swollen stock, running to find a warehouse with full parking in every area, Laem Chabang, Chonburi, Rayong. Japanese manufacturers in Thailand reduced production capacity to one shift and stopped paying OT. While the number of EVs imported from China is not running, the Prime Minister said that more than 10,000 vehicles are parked at the port

https://www.prachachat.net/motoring/news-1586856

10,000 EV stored and not selling. Oh, no!

If the below is correct, it cost 50,000 baht a month to store a car at the port.

 

There are a lot of them close together, around 10,000 cars, equivalent to an area of about 200,000 hundred thousand square meters. If calculated as rental prices, it's around 80-100 baht per square meter per day. 1 car uses an area of about 15-20 square meters....

Yes and it says

As for the car production line, it must be admitted that it is affected by EVs quite a lot. ... อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ : https://www.prachachat.net/motoring/news-1586856

The auto industry here is hurting very bad for multiple reasons. The below sums it up well and we will probably see more of the same new in the future. 

 

But the company will save on water costs. Reduced electricity cost.

Parts manufacturers turn to hybrid, not EV, point out 30@30 target is still far away

Office of Industrial Economics Revealing preliminary survey results with a group of internal combustion vehicle (ICE) parts manufacturers preparing to enter the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Just 10%, demand is not rising strongly, there is still time to adjust. Turning to feeding hybrids instead, the 30@30 target is still a long way off. It is expected that in the next 2 months we will see clear measures to help manufacturers of combustion car parts come out

This part is actually good news "EV Buses totaled 2,527 units, an increase of 31.96%."

An old diesel ️ bus with a broken turbo charger is not a pretty sight.

When (if) the Chinese add 400,000 EV manufacturing capacity to the mix, the Japanese legacy auto makers will be decimated, but on the bright side tow-truck business will be booming.

I wonder if we're reading the same article?  My translation only mentions Hybrids being Toyota, it doesn't say anything about parts manufacturers turning to hybrids not EV's.

It just mentions Toyota as an example there are many different brands producing hybrid's not just Toyota

with just 10% market share for EV's Parts manufacturers should provide parts for the largest share of the market which is  currently ICE

I must admit I wasn't aware 2nd year insurance for a Tesla Model 3 was so expensive at 58,500 baht with a capital amount of 1,550,000 baht

sad story here of Tesla model 3 driver that crashed into a number of concrete poles to avoid a Burmese motorbike that moved into the lane he was travelling in

Burmese motorcyclist no driving license 

Repair costs B1,8 million insurance capital amount B1,550,000 shortfall of B250,000

After the tsunami of EV propaganda, the tide is rolling out again.

With just about 1:3 EV owners waking up and going back to ICE, who of our local members want to raise their hand first?
