Global electric car sales rose 31% in 2023

Phenomenon explained

 

 

You're a little bit late on this topic, I was relying on information of another poster, KhunLa corrected it yesterday, I acknowledged.

 

Do you always use wet lettuce leaves for your floggings? It tickles.

No one, especially on this forum knows if EVs are the future. Only one poster tries to give reasons why he doesn’t think so. The rest just don’t like EVs and based on that, they believe EVs aren’t the future.

 

What I do know is that many countries, large corporations, big investment banks and very wealthy individuals are investing billions into EVs and the supporting infrastructure. I think they are in a better situation than retirees here in Thailand to gauge demand levels for EVs in the future.

 

Will EVs replace ICEVs completely? Probably not but I will not be surprised if EV sales overtake ICEV sales in the very near future.

That exact post was on facebook, here was the reply...

 

This new invention the ICE has poor torque at low revs, so we will fit gears to compensate, it is noisy and vibrates tiring its occupants, so we will fit mufflers and sound proofing,  We will no longer get up in the morning to a vehicle fully fueled and ready to go so we will have to visit smelly petrol stations every week, queue up and fill with highly explosive hydrocarbons  that the ICE will explode in something with 100 times more moving parts than our EV's producing poisonous gases in the process.  Our new ICE will be unreliable because of all the moving parts and more than 10 times likely to catch fire.

 

Yes, how excited people will be.

EV it's the China's game.

Whatever China decides it won't stop.

 

You will buy EV, because China wants you to buy it.

Funny this emotional debate between ICE and EV. I'll use whatever gets me from A to B. But I'll wait another 3 years, at least, before I buy an EV.

To add to that, this new invention costs twice as much to run and and belches out emissions that pollutes urban air, adding to the PM 2.5 problem that parts of Thailand suffers from.
