September 8, 20232 yr Popular Post The Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT) expects greater manufacturer interest in Thailand’s EV sector. The latest incentive package might be less appealing than earlier ones. Current incentives consist of tax reductions and subsidies for car producers and importers. These incentives aim to boost EV production and consumption from 2022 to 2023. The incentives range from 70,000 to 150,000 baht per unit. Manufacturers commit to constructing EV production facilities in Thailand. The upcoming package from the Srettha Thavisin administration is under scrutiny by EV manufacturers. Some foreign manufacturers might delay their expansion in Thailand until they comprehend the new policy’s implications. However, many have expressed interest in investing in Thailand’s EV sector, according to Krisda Utamote, President of EVAT. “We expect 1-2 new EV investors, especially from China, to seek investment opportunities in Thailand.” by Alex Morgan Photo courtesy of Thailand Business News.

September 8, 20232 yr Popular Post Until an 80-kilowatt cable is installed in every home, the current level of batteries does not allow the comfortable use of electric vehicles.

The ones supplied by MG, and installed for free are more than enough for us, and considering most is done by emergency charger/cord, using solar, that's saying quite a bit. Even if one has to pay 4.5-5 baht a kWh at home, that's a bargain compared to 39+ baht a liter, at the petrol pump. 200 vs 1000 baht to go 360 kms for us, IF, we used the grid to charge. And no waiting a petrol station to fill up every week or so, no silly oil changes every 10k kms or tune-ups to concern ourselves with.

Can charge when every you want, though since having solar, we charge during daytime, such as now. No limit to when we use our car. Charging while sleeping certainly wouldn't be an inconvenience.

Actually you became attached to the wallbox in your home. Any day when need to pass 200-300 km on motorways may cause headache. Or you should to have a lot of free time to charge you car. It may be suitable between office or mall. 8kw still hard to find in many regions. Therefore my original post was about that 80kw should be easily accessible throughout the country.

Highway 1 has a fast DC charger with a higher capacity than you mentioned, approximately every 30-50km, 20-30 minutes and I am on my way again, chargers are often 125Kw

In my opinion charging is still requires a lot of time (even 30 mins looks long), driving style (to save batarry charge) and poor infrustructure (around my location only 1-2 charger station works about stable, other closed for some reasons all the time) which caues looking for a charger which works (it also losing a time).

You don’t need any charging stations within 150km of your home, if you charge at home. if you can’t charge at home then and EV is probably not for you yet.
