EV's low on power ???... You truly haven't checked this out before posting, why not ?

 

The Tesla Model 3 performance can do Zero to 100 kmh in 2.9 seconds - thats a supercar beater and only surpassed by what now are called Hypercars. 

The BYD Seal Performance does 0-100 Kmh in 3.8 seconds.

The SUV KIA EV 5 does 0-100 Kmh in 6.1 seconds.

 

No cars in their segment are quicker.... (unless looking at RS model Audi's or AMG Mercs etc).

 

 

Regarding sales: 

Sales trends of all vehicles slowed down in 2024....   with EV's still holding a minor part of the market sales trends slowed the least with ICE's actually having a negative trend shift. 

 

As below from 2023 to 2024

- Regular ICE cars saw a -4.3% drop in sales.

- Pick-up ICE's saw no change

- EV's saw an increase in 66.7% (which is actually reduction in the previously increasing rate / trend rate, nevertheless a 66.7% growth).

 

 

This also shows that EV's have a 5% market share, but have increased that market share from 0.1% in 2020 to 1.2% in 2022, 3% in 2024.....   this there remains growth as a percentage of the market...

In 2024 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) registered in Thailand decrease by 8.1% compared to 2023

 

In the same period pickup truck registrations were down 38.4%

 

 

 

 

 

I see we are still struggling with percentage calculations or maybe just spreading fake numbers, or maybe both?

I see we (you) are struggling with basic mathematics !!!...  Look again...  

 

....450,000 units sold in 2024, 450,000 units told in 2024....  thats a 0% change... 

 

I do hope your 'offshore work' is roustabout and not Subsea engineer !!!

Did we have two 2024 in a row?

Darn, I missed that and kind of doubt we had the exact same sales numbers 2 years in a row.

Anyway, I will let you two work it out in the shower. You can't both be right, but you can both be wrong  😉 .

I doubt the sources are perfect as they are rounded to the nearest 1000 - nevertheless the general indication is there.

We can 'both be generally right' which is the case here - the numbers vary because the sources vary....  fairly obvious I think.

Different sources different figures...

 

Both indicate the same general consensus - EV sales increasing, while ICE sales (either pick-ups or conventional cars)  decreasing in sales. 

 

Thus regardless of the specific numbers involved, both Bander's comment and my comment highlight the flaw in the comment of yours [ExpatOW].

You stated [ EVs are low on power and sales ]....

 

You are wrong on the power aspect...   (as shown with examples)

You are wrong that EV sales were down... (as evidenced with two different sets of stats)

 

Thus... why would you try and save face ?? Doubling down on your mistake is making you appear rather stubborn and silly..

OK, +/- 40% is an acceptable error of margins in EV land, got it!

 

That also explain why EV owners are happy when the actual range is 40% lower than the promised range.

Next time my size 45 steel toe boots arrive in size 27, I will just practice a few days of footbinding and get on with it.

EV in Thailand sales are down in 2024, that is just an undisputed fact.

Every bit of cheating counts.
