I watched it, and did not base my opinion on just one Video.

Bias - isn't that an old style tire ?

Like mistral, I also took the plunge and watched the video. I also watched another and this review was even more complimentary of the good cat. Are you sure you are not mistaking the Ora with a Toyota or Honda? Those have plenty of hard plastic for sure.

 

Would appreciate a link to the video that claims a real world range of half the claimed range as this is arguably the single most important factor in making a decision.

I’m sure he’s not a troll. Wasn’t he a mod many years back?

The MG 4 Electric received outstanding reviews in Europe and is now being touted the best budget compact EV there (plus, not so much relevant for Thailand, they can deliver some units within this year).

Given the popularity of MG here, the vast dealer network plus their own charging infrastructure this could be a real game changer.

So if I understand correctly, there were 836 Cars available and they were gone within 2 hours?

And the total reservations came up to 1598 Cars and took 8 hours.

 

Impressive.

 

Any idea on the price?

So somewhere between eight and ten million Baht, that doesn't sound budget to me????

 

Yes, I realize it was just a typo and you added one too many x's.

DECO brand, SUSU model:

1 year & 3500 kms later, and all good.  Had to replace a turning signal relay, sent out overnight to us.  Under warranty, and we (wife) did the swap, as dealer is 75 kms away.   Silly for him to come down, diagnosis it, then return to swap out the part.

 

Just renewed registration:

... ฿50 baht tax

... ฿323 mandatory 3rd party insurance

 

Now charge at home w/solar. 

Previously, PEA, and 0-100% cost <฿20

I wonder whether this is a typo - I did not see any pictures or details to confirm it is indeed 'all-wheel' drive.........although it is mentioned in several places on the MG website.

Radar is made by Geely which owns Volvo so there is the possibility that it might be available outside China, but probably not for a while as it is priced from $24,000 and will be very popular in China. 
 

More of a fashion item than a workhorse as it does not come with 4 wheel drive and has low ride hight.

Free EV Charging!

 

….If you are a cabinet member

 

Prime Minister launches EV chargers at Government House shown with BMW i7 for ASEAN leaders and the first Mercedes-Benz EQS assembled in Thailand.

 

 

Guessing they may purchase a fleet of Mercs for themselves to use, on the tax payers baht, you know, to spare Krung Thep of any more air pollution.

 

Or even, award themselves each one ... perk for saving the Planet.

 

Doing what they can for a better world ... for us ????

Rumors have previously suggested that BYD in 2023 will target the pickup truck market.

A model suspected to be a BYD pickup truck has been spotted testing, following rumors that the new energy vehicle (NEV) maker's personalized model will be a new energy pickup.

Local tech media Mydrivers shared a spy photo of a purported BYD pickup truck model with its body tightly wrapped in camouflage.

New premiere from EICMA 2022: Loncin Voge Real 5T electric scooter.

Loncin respectively Voge brand has a dealer and distributor in Thailand. 

So the chances could be quite high, that it will be available in Thailand in the future.

Nice EVs, no doubt. But probably super expensive due to import taxes / not locally manufactured.

I saw a new BYD a few days ago, whilst in Pattaya. They are building a new showroom on Sukhumvit.
