Electric Vehicles in Thailand

[JBChiangRai]

MG called me today and said they had multiple new quotes for me, the best was Viriyah, 3rd year insurance on MG4 X-model was 29,000 THB with a 1,000 THB discount so I paid 28,000 THB.

 

600,000 baht cover and up to 5 named drivers of any age.

 

BTW, I got the mileage wrong, it's done almost 23,000 km.

 

It seems all electric cars are 28-30,000 THB which I think is excessive.

MG's carrier, I guess V, was in the 20+k range after the 1st year's free coverage,  to renew the ZS.  Wife's cousin, independent ins broker, who we always used for the ICEVs, was 22k, and Roojai was 9.4k, I think, so yea, went with them.

 

Renewed again with them (Oct), at 13.4k, as everyone else was in the 20+k range.  I think Roojai realized how underpriced they were the previous year.  Or just following the trend of overcharging BEV owners 🙄

 

Give them, Roojai a  chance to recoup some of that money for our oops (235k ?), that they did an excellent job handling, along with MG's repair & body shop, here locally.  Our local dealer is apparently this region's body repair shop, as the oops was at Hua Hin.  We're 100 kms south of HH.

 

👍👍  for for Roojai customer claim service.

I used to be a fan of Roojai, but I'm not happy with their customer loyalty.

 

They talk of 20%, 30% and 40% No Claims Bonuses, but they don't exist.  

 

They won't cover my daughters till they are 25 and I think they won't cover me after 70 years old too.

 

They won't insure my BYD Seal Performance, but a Premium or Dynamic would be ok.

 

Cars they used to cover, have disappeared from their list.
