Popular Post JBChiangRai Posted April 21 Popular Post Share Posted April 21 (edited) 3 hours ago, billd766 said: It doesn't matter that the ride-hailing companies that owned them failed, or because they were about to become obsolete, but the fact is the vehicles actually were and still are abandoned . As I said in my first post, it was false because they were actually vehicles from companies that went bankrupt. You can’t abandon something when you go bankrupt, you’re no longer the owner. We’ve been over and debunked this article or other versions of it last year, it’s a fake story. Chinese EV owners are NOT abandoning them, they love their EV’s.

vinny41 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 One in five Chinese EV owners wouldn’t buy another A report by McKinsey China has shown significant disillusionment among Chinese electric car owners in 2023, with 22% stating they wouldn’t consider new energy vehicles (NEVs) for their next car, The dissatisfaction among owners in smaller cities stems from inconvenient charging infrastructure, highlighting a major challenge faced by electric vehicle adoption in these regions. However, this growth has outpaced infrastructure development, particularly in the provision of charging points, leading to grievances among electric vehicle owners, the report said. https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny41 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Chinese EV owners queue for well over an hour for a charging station during holidays and then wait another average 50 minutes for the vehicle to charge, according to a 2023 report by the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance (EVCIPA). On busy days, long queues form on highways, and 70% of surveyed Chinese EV owners reported dissatisfaction with waiting times. In rural regions, charging stations are scarce or simply out of service. https://restofworld.org/2024/ev-battery-swapping-china/ I have seen posts on Facebook groups in Thailand where the owner has access to both an EV and ICE vehicle choosing to use the ICE vehicle over Songkran rather than the EV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China will add more charging stations. I went with my lady friend & her new MG4 X-Power to a PTT station with an EV plus charger and we spent about 10 minutes downloading the app, loading a credit card, working out how it operated. Then we disconnected and tried it as if it were a repeat and we were charging within two minutes we went to the Amazon next-door. We had a cup of coffee and when we came back, it was at 95%. Maybe 20 minutes tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can deny it as much as you wish, but if those people wanted to get rid of their EV they would sell it for whatever price they can get for it. They would be foolish not to do so.

"According to a survey conducted by the UK's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) in 2020, approximately 75% of car owners in the UK are satisfied with their current vehicle. Here's a breakdown of the survey's findings: 75% of respondents reported being "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with their current vehicle. 15% reported being "neutral" or "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied". 10% reported being "dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with their current vehicle. It's worth noting that these figures are based on a survey of over 2,000 UK car owners and may not be representative of the entire UK population. Additionally, the survey did not ask about specific aspects of car ownership, such as fuel efficiency, reliability, or maintenance costs. It's also important to consider that car ownership is a complex and multifaceted issue, influenced by a range of factors, including personal preferences, lifestyle, and environmental concerns."

What about saying water was wet? Of course some people will regret buying an EV if they haven't properly researched things. Buy one without home charging and you would regret it for sure. Buy one if you need to drive hundreds of kilometres at a time on a regular basis and you would probably regret it. You said 78% of people are happy, that sounds about right. The 22% made a mistake. Personally I regret buying an ICEV as I spent 2.4m baht on it and now I could get a BYD Seal Performance for 800k less with better technology, much better performance (0-100kmh in an instantly accessible 3.8s as opposed to the sluggish, non linear and noisy 6.6s that I have now) and with a much nicer driving experience. I could buy a Deepal L07S for 1.15m baht less, and they are fantastic (I have been in one and it is gorgeous). Heck I could buy one for my wife too! Of course they weren't on the market four years ago when I bought my ICEV but if I had my choice again today it would be a no brainer.

I sold the first EV because it was two years old, coming out of warranty, and a very expensive car and got out whilst there was still a long waiting list. It was ruinously expensive if it broke. A set of four tires was over ฿100,000 too. I sold the second EV, an MG EP+ because I bought a BYD Seal Performance on a spur of the moment and passed down my MG4 to my daughter and sold her MG EP+ If you believe that I don't know what to say. There are so many reports of batteries not lasting that long. For any battery to last that long would be marvellous but I doubt if battery technology is sufficient to give half of what you state and that is optimistic. The type price you quote is an indication of how expensive they are and no one would take on a second hand car just knowing the price of tyres let alone anything else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of confidence in granting loans in the second-hand EV market stems from the market’s expected small size and the continued fluctuation in new EV prices, making it difficult for banks to calculate the value of used EVs, said Pinyo. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/electric-vehicle-market-faces-risk-from-non-performing-loans Agreed there is a lack of confidence and if you look around for reports their sceptic attitude is justified 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article about battery degradation some time back, they analysed a bunch of Tesla's and said 18+ years was normal, the article is in Electric Vehicles in Thailand or EV's vs ICE the debate thread somewhere. The manufacturer of the EV I sold because of price concerns also sell a lot of ICE sports cars and all that manufacturer's models are ruinously expensive to service & repair, and all the tyres are ludicrously expensive for that brand, likewise insurance. None of these reasons were in any way due to it being an EV. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fine as it is a personal opinion. Say you don't like them and move on and get on with your day. What triggers people so much about a different propulsion method that they have to waste their time (and ours) posting nonsense about it? And I don't get why you would post that I posted a link claiming xxx when I clearly didn't post such a link And why you attempt to extrapolate a point of view where no such information is available from within the article https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/ If you think my posts are nonsense and wasting your time the simply answer is to ignore them and don't reply Edited April 22 by vinny41 add 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your claims of 78% are fake and Your claimed 78% are happy with their choice is a figment of your imagination there isn't a single mention in the article where it states that 78% are happy The article doesn't mention if they are asked the question are you happy with your choice of vehicle or not https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/ Ok, I'll try one last time. Oh, and by the way, you can't have it both ways. You posted an article that says 22% of Chinese EV owners surveyed said they would not buy another one. You're happy to post that. But when I say that means 78% are fine with their decision you say it's not allowed because "The article doesn't mention if they are asked the question are you happy with your choice of vehicle or not". So it's ok to post the negative aspect without knowing the exact question asked but not ok to infer the opposite without knowing the exact question asked. So, if the article is saying 22% of those asked said they wouldn't buy another EV what question do you think they were asked? Do they like turnips? What's their favourite colour? Or perhaps "would you buy another EV?". Maybe? I hope you can see the hypocrisy now. Probably not, but for sure everyone else can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some of the other 78% don't understand the question, because they are intellectually challenged like (insert EV haters names here). 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are too lazy to search for a link to refute the link I posted, and rherefore I am supposed to accept your unsupported word. To quote my old teacher at secondary school. Poor effort, must try harder. He was right about me, just as I am right about you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I recall an EV hater here, but I do recall folk, including me, putting questions forward to keep things going............🤗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
