Absolutely agree. I don't care about Elon Musk personally I just compare the cars. And I have narrowed my selection down to the two best in class for what I want: to either a model Y RWD long range or a Zeekr 7x long range. In other markets the Teslas are more expensive, but in Thailand the Tesla is super more expensive when you add up how Tesla charges you 85k for paint choice, etc. So for similar cars, the Tesla comes out at around 2 million and the Zeekr comes out at around 1.6 million, so for 400k that software edge and crisper driving dynamics in the Tesla is hard to justify, but I have not made up my mind yet.

Not sure what the crisper is all about, but if referring to the self driving auto lane assist and such features. they are kind of useless in TH. As rely on things being uniformly painted and built, road placement, for the vehicle to judge distances.

Which means, they are annoying as hell at best, unreliable and dangerous at worse, to leave on for any type of self driving. So paying extra for something you can't really use.

First feature we disabled with our MG ZS, as would be dangerous to use lane assist w/cruise control, which puts the car in almost self drive, but pretty sure somewhere down the line, you'd be a nervous wreck and have a crash or major auto stop, and probably get rear ended ... and not in a good way.

The Zeekr 7x is so much better in specs, that beast 100 kWh CATL Qilin battery, is world class, best of the best coming out from CATL, it's way better and more advanced than the model Y 78kWh and BYD 400V batteries.

Also the 7X is a true 800V platform, which is as MUST on anything on that price range. You get 430kW DC Fast charging as well, which matters a lot in Thailand hot climate...Don't believe what people say that Fast charge is overrated, it's only for them, dont know what they put of their mouth.

I wanted a sport car, like the Model 3. but will be getting something else better.

Are a great way to burn your house down?

Use a professionally installed Level 2 charger in Thailand?!? 😬

Make sure it’s UL-listed / certified (BZZZZ)

Avoid extension cords 😂

Install on a dedicated circuit 🛎️🛎️🛎️

Install a smoke detector near the EV charger ❌

I get your point, sure, people like to generalize based on their own perception, it can be useful for some people, or not really useful for other. doesnt mean it's overrated.

I think people don't understand fully what Fast charging entails, even thou you never need it, the supporting architecture for fast charging is the important thing that makes a car that do 80kW DC fast charging very different from a 250kW car.

Both cars have a very different cooling system, different wiring capacity and a much better overall BMS system, but both cars are fine for most people who dont need it or Never will DC fast charge.

The 250kW car will do so much better in Highway cruising when outdoors is 37C, when the pavement is 60C, when you need to fast charge DC when needed. etc. and the battery will also last longer on the 250Kw car since the battery didn't have to stay on the upper edge of the temperature when stressed.

The main concept is "overhead for Stress" in engineering.

in engineering, you always should leave some overhead, like when you build a house: my pilars that drill down the soil as deep as 14meters, are rated for a 4 story house, but the house is only 2 stores, so that means it was design for 200% overhead, the house only needs 10Tones for that pole, but it can handle 20Tones. 15 years later, I dont see cracks on the wall and the walls all look pristine.

same with the Atto3, it's rated for 88kW, I charged at 88Kw, the system is fully saturated at 100%, cooling need to work 100%, the whole cooling system is stressed and that is abuse.

The 250kW car: you get 120kW at PTT, using 50% of the car capacity, the car is not stressed at all, the cooling system is not overloaded, and overall the battery will last a lot longer. you dont wast 4 kW on the cooling system, like in the atto3.

I totally agree, albeit for a different reason - I have yet to see a charger in Thailand that can do decent fast charging.

There is a 'Spark' charging station in town with a big advertising sign claiming 360 kW charging power - maybe on Mondays when it rains and snows simultaneously; the best it does 160 kW..... laughable! BUT...... I have to give 'Spark; credit for their discounts - last time it was a mere THB 6.63 instead of the advertised THB 7.90.

As for Spark - I have a feeling they are mixing up Amp with kW- the chargers do 200 Amp from the get-go, and the power is simply a function of the voltage.

What car were you charging? Was it capable of higher than 160Kw?

I had an OTA update on my SL7 today to 3.2.0

Yeap...my SL7 upgraded today also. Since I've had it parked for two days I went out and fired-up the car after seeing JB's post....I did a Software Upgrade check.

Typically after doing an Upgrade check once or twice it would come back with the version number....but today it was "not" coming back with a version number after couple of tries. After about a half dozen tries it still hadn't came back with a current version number but finally came back saying an upgrade V3.2.0 was available....I guess during those half dozen tries it was maybe downloading the upgraded software. I followed thru with the upgrade which took 16 minutes to complete versus the 4 minute estimate. See some key snapshots of the upgrade below.

At 5:18pm....says upgrade will take approx 4 minutes. I immediately start upgrade at 5:18pm...and the upgrade starts as if the upgraded software had already been downloaded....upgrade is underway.

Upgrade completed at 5:34pm...upgrade actually took 16 minutes.

After upgrade completed here's what the upgrade consisted of. From playing around in almost all of the infotainment system menus I couldn't find any changes/additions/deletions of menus/icons/settings....everything seemed just as before the upgrade....I don't see any changes after 5 to 10 minutes of playing around in the infotainment system or using the BYD app. Maybe I'll spot something over the coming days once I drive the car. Additionally the system/geek number after the upgrade remained at 51.1.4.2603210.1 just like it was before the upgrade...when the software version being displayed was V1.0.0 when I picked up my new SL7 in mid May 2026.

The Zeekr 7X - I believe somewhere north of 400 kW

The Zeekr 7X - I believe somewhere north of 400 kW

The Spark charger could have been labeled incorrectly, they are usually not that fast or maybe it’s limited to 160kw per gun.

Try the Zeekr Power charger wt Bangkok’s Central World, that should tell you if it’s the car or the charger

People are often disappointed at the charging rate they get at DC chargers because the rating on the a DC charger can be misleading/not understood AND also the EV's charging curve affecting the charging rate.

DC chargers are often labeled with some "maximum" rating under optimum conditions. Like a two-connector 360KW charger probably means a "maximum" of 360KW "shared", repeat, shared between the two connectors; not the ability to provide 360KW per cable whether the other cable is being used or not. Each connector will likely have power limited by the maximum "amps" draw allowed per connector with the source of the limit typically being the cable being limited to 200A.

200A cables are very common on DC chargers as they generally meet the charging requirements of "most" current day EV...plus, higher amp cables and associated charger equipment significantly increases charger construction costs. You can usually find the chargers cable amps limit by looking for a plate on the charger that will show charging voltage range (i.e., 150V to 950-1000V, 200-300amp, and I 've seen a few with 500 amps etc). Many times that label is kinda blocked from easy view under the point where the cable enters the cabinet. Other times it will be at the very top or bottom of the charger cabinet. And sometimes there is no label to be seen on the outside as the label is on the inside of the cabinet. But most of the time you can find a KW/Voltage/Current rating label on the outside. Look closely as to what the cable amps limit is.....200A is very common on most chargers currently in Thailand.

So, at this 360KW charger with a 200A cable limit using a formula for Power which is "Power = Current times Voltage" when multiplying the charger upper voltage limited which is typically 950V or 1000V (lets says 950V) by 200A limit of the cable gives a max power of 190KW per connector before any power losses are considered. Power losses like cable heating, EV wiring/battery heating, etc. Adding the two connectors together allows the charger to call itself a 360KW charger

Plus, the EV is probably "not" going to be requesting 950V even on a so-called 800V EV charging architecture. An 800V architecture actually ranges between approx 550V to 950V. The 800V name is more of a nominal valve, a nickname, tradename, etc. Like the Zeekr 7X with 100KWH battery has an actual 685V charging architecture....with the 685V architecture the max voltage it will request during DC charging is approx 790V. I arrive at that 790V number based on voltage needed to bring each 3.2V battery cell in the EV battery pack up to 3.65V full charge (full/100% charge for an LFP cell is 3.65V), Please remember this 790V number as I'll used it again later.

So at this 360KW charger which is really only able to output 190KW per connector (before any losses are considered) it would need to be connected to an EV which can accept 190KW at the particular State of Charge (SOC) during the charging session....that is, does the EV's "charging curve" support 190KW at a certain SOC.

Well, if for example charging a Zeekr 7X with 100KWH battery its charging curve (shown below) would support 190KW unless the EV was at a SOC of 80-85% and higher. And its 430KW max/peak rating is for a "very limited portion" of its charging curve...like only in the the 10-20% SOC ballpark...and most people don't let their charge get that low on a long trip. However, when multiplying 790V (that number I asked you to remember) times a 200A probable cable amps limit you get 158KW which is durn close to the160KW that mistral53 was getting on his 7X at a Spark 360KW charger.

The design of a DC charger, whether it has 200A or 300A or 500A cable, whether the power is shared between connectors or not, whether the power modules are built right into the DC charger or are located in a separate power control cabinet, EV charging curve, and other factors can all make a difference in the actual charging rate a person gets.

Having an EV with a high KW charging capability/curve is definitely a good thing....but being able to actually utilize that high charging rate capability can turn out to be a different story.

Zeekr 7X 100KWH battery charging curve under different situations

https://evkx.net/models/zeekr/7x/7x_long_range_awd/chargingcurve/

Regarding the Sealion 7 82.5KWH battery which has a rated max/peak charging rate of 150KW, today I went to a high power DC charger to see if I could get that charging rate since my SL7 had a 30% SOC and from my googling that SOC ballpark was where the battery should accept a 150KW charge rate.

I used a OneCharge network 720KW charger which uses a cable rated at 375A (max 500A) per its specifications plate on the charger. Ambient temp was 40C and I drove 15km to reach the charger...the car's first trip of the day.

I started charging with 30% SOC...it started with a 108KW charge rate. As the SOC increased the charge rate increased and at 47% it peaked at almost 153KW....then the charge rate started to slowly roll off....I stopped charging at 50% while still getting a 143KW charge rate.

So, the SL7 82.5KW battery sold in Southeast Asia can indeed charge at its advertised max/peak rate of 150KW.

We saw 160Kw briefly on an EVstationPluz Hub whilst on our 4,000km road trip.

I have had a little over 150 kw a couple of times in my Seal ( 82.5kw battery with max charging of 150 kw ) at a Spark charger rated at 180 kWh.

Any of you installed a dashcam like below in the SL7 since the SL7 does not come with a dashcam from the factory although the SL7 does contain factory dashcam wiring.. I realize the installation is pretty easy from several youtubes I've watched. Any recommendations on dashcams? Thanks.

I didn’t realise the SL 7 didn’t come with a micro sd card slot, that seems like a great workaround and a great price, over 3,000 on Lazada.

I think the dashcams are all pretty much non brand names and therefore a bit of a gamble on how good they are.

When the Seal started to sell without the dashcams ( wiring and sd card slot already fitted ) there was a lot of dashcams appearing on the usual channels ( ( Lazada, Shopee, Facebook, etc) all around the 2,000 baht mark. The only options being silver or black dash cams ?.

Never heard about anyone complaining about the resolution of said dash cam with everything saying the same thing, “ it is good but not the best “ and it doesn’t come with sound.

Have you considered Sinjet ?, more expensive but with a rear dash cam also, a simple sentry mode and ( imho the best feature) the rear view camera on your rear view mirror. Fully built in with no trailing cables and wi-fi on some models to transfer video to your phone/laptop if necessary.

Andrew,

Thanks. Yeap, the SL7 does not come with dedicated micro-SD card slot....just two USB ports and only one of those ports has data capability and the other port is for charging only. Now I'm talking about the center console area. There is also two USB charging ports in the rear seat area.

But supposedly a person can just install the camera only and then use a thumb drive in the center console data-capable USB port....dashcam will put the recording on the thumbdrive.....no replacement USB box needed to provide a dedicated SD card slot. However, I think I would want the USB box in order to still have two USB ports "plus the dedicated SD card slot."

I figure the video quality is the same as what I have in my Atto and that level of quality is fine for me. I really just want it for accident purposes and a very occasional ability to relook some area I drove thru.

When I was buying the car the BYD sales person even sent me a Shopee link (similar to the one I posted earlier) saying here's the dashcam to buy....and said the dealership tech would install for Bt300 labor fee. The salesperson sent the link and talk about the camera like it something the dealership does almost on a daily basis. The BYD tech could install the same day I was picking up the brand new car since it's a quick/easy install especially after you done it once or twice.

BUT the very next day the salesperson called the wife and said not to order the camera as the tech wasn't allowed to install...even said a non-BYD camera system would not be compatible. Reading between the lines....the unspoken story....etc...I expect the dealership management decided (had a policy change) they would stop installing dashcams for customers...especially any dashcam the customer ordered and hand delivered to be installed. Instead, just let the customer go to dashcam shop.

No, I haven't heard of Sinjet. I don't want to install any camera system that's going to require additional wiring. I just want a basic dashcam on the front of the car for accident purposes.

Now there is a dashcam shop within a 100 meters of my dealership (which the sales person recommended) which has all kinds of dashcams....at all prices. Out of curiosity the wife and I visited this shop very briefly the day before we picked up the SL7....I will probably visit again with the SL7 to see what they recommend. But I'm pretty sure they do not sell the basic setup like in my earlier post, but more high end (and significantly more pricier) dashcams.

Cheers.

Yeah, I would also go for the “ usb box “ to free up the two other usb’s .

The little lady and i both have iPhones but use different cables ( hers Lightning and mine usb c ) so i permanently leave a couple of cables plugged in.

How is the wireless charger on the SL 7, i believe it is an air cooled 50W charger, a vast improvement on my Seal’s two 15W chargers which apparently only heats up the phone !

It works great...50W...and even has a cool air vent to cool the phone. I use it all the time.

weird that the SL7 doesn't have one, anyways, I have always used Viofo (A129 and V119) cameras with custom OS (Firmware) for better image quality and to unlock features. I have one Full HD running on my Honda HRV for almost 10 years! those capacitors are good to have survived the insane heat.

Always use High endurance SD cards, otherwise using normal SD cards will be killed in 1-2 years.

I buy from lazada and install the firmware from https://viofo-a119-v3-dash-camera-review.blogspot.com/

check out the new V119 V3 with a "Sony 5MP IMX335 Exmor" Sensor, which is amazing for 3000 baht range.

What makes a camera good is the use of high quality Capacitors rated for 105-125 Celsius, cheap ones are 85C.

the Viofo comes with some Super Capacitors.

a few years ago, I got this Viofo Dual camera Front+Back for around 6000 baht and the shop installed for free in CDC. in Lazada was 5000 baht but no way I wanted to install it myself. it was a bit complicated and the 3 guys did it in 1 hour.

I dont recommend using BYD for installing it, much better to just go to a nice car shop for cameras, they are do that every day, and they do it very well.

I got the IM5 yesterday, in Beige, convinced wife to not go for red, red is too hot and discolors.

charged at Shell 180kw, I love it!

176kW all the way from 20% to 83% in just 20 min. cost a 620 baht!

I'm keeping it below 85%, and only charge to 100% when long distances or once every few months.

Car is amazing to drive, rear wheel steering is game changing!

plus those sexy wheels with the 275/35 tires looks amazing but are quite loud. I just love to look at the car.

hehe, but will be driving a lot, I will still do 2 full battery cycles a week, 90-100 full cycles a year estimated.

It's not as bad as the reviews say about the digital controls, warnings and buttons.

it's fine if you learn...

first, just need to disable a few things, then learn the multi-finger gestures and setup the right shortcuts, it becomes easy easy.

the best is the 2 finger swipe, left-right changes air fan speed, up-down temperature.
the aircon can swing left-right too, which is pretty nice.

will drop the car for 5 days to wrap and put the window films, except on sun-roof, it cant have film, and dont need it either.

it is still not registered, when I left the show room, I just saw a massive trailer with about 10 IM5 in Black, gray and white, the black one looks insanely sexy, the best of all. but no way I'm getting black in the crazy heat of the south.

The car is absolutely AMAZING.

Saw an IM5 at my local mall today in beige, looked great.

I initially thought the back end was kinda fugly but today I liked it , looks wide and sporty front and back ( the IM6 not so much).

Congratulations !!

I haven't seen one in the flesh yet so keen to see how it looks in real life.

Congrats on the purchase and I hope you enjoy!

I never thought it would happen to me, but yesterday … (this sounds like one of those readers letters to Penthouse magazine..(readers? Did anyone ever read it?) ) we had our new Zeekr X delivered.

As a car tragic, and dedicated petrol-head , this is my first experience of electric cars - other than the dodgems at the big fairs.

The car is very well appointed - and it actually handles very well. It is also bloody fast!!

I recently had a 15kW solar array & 32Kw battery storage installed at our house, so it seemed the next logical step to purchase an electric vehicular appliance.

I sold an 18 month old Mazda CX30 at a healthy loss before buying the Zeekr. The Mazda was, in true Thai market form, very under powered, and though a reasonable car - it was a very uninspiring drive. The Zeekr is so much more fun! You get bang for your buck with electric cars in Thailand.

The installation guys for the home charger arrived yesterday afternoon - and were positively salivating at the thought of our installation. Our meter is about 150m from our house, so we were going to be up for a fortune for new heavier electric wiring. When I told them I want it connected to our solar system - the mood changed. Apparently they need to talk to their boss to see if this is possible(?) - lol

Wow, congratulations! The Zeekr X is a fine fine car. Streets ahead of a Mazda CX30 in every imaginable way. I look forward to reports of ownership after a while.

I am yet to move over to EV land but I can't wait for the day I do - they are just better.

Congrats on the purchase of the Zeekr X. I saw a few , the wheels looks great. It's a very fast compact car.

I agree 100% there. This is a great time for Thailand EV options, probably one of the best reasonably priced outside China. And with battery lifetime warranty, That i think won't stay for too long.
