I also would like to do this. How do you get around the RFID card. The MG app on our EV plus dose not work. 

The answer was previously posted here 

 

Click the add button and add the code number of the charger and select card free

 

If your app doesn't work - go back to the dealer and they will help you set it up

Tesla’s first supercharger in Thailand will be opened in Q1 2023, and Tesla drivers will have access to up to at least 10 Supercharging stations by 2023 . 

 

Owners can charge the car up to 275 km in just 15 minutes.

 

For the first delivery batch in Q1

I wonder if Tesla plans to allow non Teslas to use its Supercharger network in Thailand from day one. I suppose that would be too much to hope for.

 

The company has been allowing non-Tesla EVs to use its stations in several cities in Europe as part of a limited pilot program.

The cost of electricity in Thailand is cheap. The UK is now about ฿17/kWh.

 

T.O.U. rate overnight in Thailand is ฿2.6/kWh

UK = United Kingdom  ????

 

If you have any interest in EV (Electric Vehicles), the kWh (kilowatt hrs/hours) & TOU (Time of Use), meter that charges different rates at different times of the day, then you would, should already know those terms.

 

If all else fails, Google is your friend.

 

kWh = kilowatts per hour, charged by PEA, that would be the same on your PEA bill, or units used.  Unit being 1 kWh.

 

Usually between 2-3-700 kW or units used.   To calculate how much, without TOU meter, normal charge, this calculator comes in handy, and very accurate:  https://eservice.pea.co.th/EstimateBill/

 

Just type in how many units (kWh), and click to button, and scroll down to see the damage.

 

Something like the MG ZS or EP, comes with a 50.3 kW battery.  So if about a ฿5ish per kW/unit of PEA at the house (not having solar), then about ฿250 for a 0-100% top up.  If having a TOU meter, then can cut that cost almost in half, by charging 'off' hours.  Which I haven't a clue what those hrs are, or care, as we have solar.

@GregKeo  - apologies.  kWh stands for Kilo (meaning thousand) W = Watt a unit of power it is named after the Scottish inventor James Watt and as it is a proper noun it is always shown capitalized. h = hour. So a  a kWh is how many kWs are used in an hour. If you switch on 10 x 100 Watt light bulbs for an hour it will use one kWh. PEA (Provincial Electricity Authority) and MEA (The Metropolitan Electricity Authority) units on your electric bill are one kWh each.

 

T.O.U. stands for time of use rate

I should point out that this discussion has over twelve hundred posts and at this point in the discussion those active in this discussion are well aware of all the abbreviations used.

But how else would anyone appear to be superior.

 

It is like calling Bangkok, Bangers. The same number of characters to input but some people think it sounds more familiar/knowledgeable.

To EV or NOT ... as with all things, housing & wives.

Sometimes better to rent first, to see if it's for you.

So first BYD at 996 Bookings and in the 2nd picture down to 883. So 113 people cancelled?

 

I would assume the first picture is more recent as all the sales are down in the second.

 

Expected MG to be further up the list with their ZS and EP EV’s , plus their recently released MG4 EV , maybe need to improve their freebies ??

 

Would like to see a bigger breakdown of car sales at the Motor Show.
