So the sources and pictures in my following post are all fake?

 

https://aseannow.com/topic/1334010-the-new-ice-engines/?do=findComment&comment=19099588

 

And don't get me started on your so called intelligence. 30% of nothing is just that, 30% more of nothing.

 

This is what is important

 

 

So the EVAT is shooting in their own foot and spreading fake news, according to your "intelligence"?

 

The fact is the EV sector is growing and the ICE sector is shrinking.

 

Whether vehicles are piling up anywhere is irrelevant because the whole car industry is crashing.

 

However you slice and dice it 

• February 7.4% of new cars were EV's
• March 10.6% of new cars were EV's
• April 10.8% of new cars were EV's
• May 12.1% of new cars were EV's
• June 13.4% of new cars were EV's.

 

EV market share grew 

• 30% in March
• 2% in April
• 11% in May
• 10% in June

The fact is that people are switching to EV's in droves.

 

Just to take what I think was probably one of your posts.  BYD cars piling up at a port in Europe with the headline that some of them for more than a year.  The reality was the cars were transient for a couple of weeks only because there was insufficient local transport available and those that had been there a long time (a handful only) had issues awaiting mechanical intervention.

 

Most of this stuff you read is just untrue.

 

The increasing market share tells you everything you need to know.

You really should read your own links before posting, that article does not refer to EVs piling up in China, as KhunLA commented, it is about European ports.

 

Of course they are not pilling up in China, because they export them, but that probably will go over your head

Your having a laugh with your 30% figure for March 2024

DLT report April registrations (March Sales ) for R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people were 4007

March figures were 4,720

April 2023 figures were 3,820

March 2023 figures were 6,204

It's been debunked on here before (by me as well as others). There is a Financial Times article that tells the whole story, that it is mainly due to a shortage of hauliers in Europe and that it is affecting everything, not only Chinese EVs. But those with an agenda jump on the Chinese EV thing. It is a logistical issue rather than "dumping".

However, many of the Chinese groups were building teams in Europe from scratch and grappling with real-world logistical challenges, car executives said. As newcomers to the market, they have struggled to find haulage companies to prioritise their orders. “Lack of trucks” is a “very common problem”, said one person familiar with the situation, who added that many vehicles had been “reserved by Tesla”. “Any new brand will be facing this issue, if you don’t have scale, if you don’t have regular deliveries, then you are not the [trucking groups’] largest clients,” they added.

The numbers of EV's sold tells you nothing about whether people are switching to EV's, you know this Vinny.

 

You have to look at whether people choose EV over ICE & vice-versa and look at the percentages.  That tells you what is going on.

 

The total number of vehicles sold each month tells you about the overall market.

 

Suppose one 100 EV's were sold in July, what does that tell you? It tells you demand has crashed for EV's or demand has crashed for cars.  If you now add to this that no ICE cars were sold at all, it completes the picture. Demand for all cars has crashed.

 

When you present information, it has to be meaningful and not try to lead the reader to a fake conclusion. What you posted is misleading and you know it.

People switching to EV's in droves what are you smoking

Number of EV registrations for the period Feburary 2024 30th June 2024 for 

for R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people were 23,183

Number of vehicles registered for the same period excluding EV were 180,246

180246 for ICE vs 23,183 for EV's indicate that people are not switching to EV's in droves as you posted

Going back to your original post Transam.

 

It's not reasonable to believe that VAG (Porsche), Ford, Toyota & GM suddenly, separately but at the same time develop some ground breaking new technology.

 

What this article is saying is they have all tweaked petrol engines in different ways to get a bit more efficiency. There is nothing groundbreaking.

 

You need to look deeper at why they are saying this.  Could it be they are worried about increasing demand for EV's? Could it be they are frightened? (Toyota definitely are).

 

There isn't a week the goes past when we hear something, usually about Toyota, "Revolutionary new Hydrogen Engine", "Revolutionary new BioMethane Engine", "Revolutionary new Ammonia Engine".

 

I think it was 2014 when Toyota said they would have sold-state batteries powering their EV's within 9 years. We are now 10 years later and it appears the new Toyotas will have BYD Blade Batteries and their new Hybrids will have BYD Blade Batterries and BYD turbo charged engines!

 

All these nonsense press releases and videos are there for one reason only.  To try and stop people buying EV's now by promising milk & honey later.  That Milk & Honey ain't coming.

It's a hybrid. Ok. And probably a very expensive hybrid.

I drive a Suzuki with a regular ICE engine which gets 50+ miles per gallon.  The car is very affordable and the fuel and maintenance is highly affordable.  I don't see how spending 2 or 3 million THB on a car to get "affordable fuel efficiency" makes any sense at all.

July 1st 2024

EV sales continue to drop driven by tight economic conditions

Data from the Department of Land Transport indicate that the EV market has not been particularly strong since the beginning of the year. January recorded the highest number of registrations for the year at 13,321 units, driven partly by a rush to register before the January 31 deadline to qualify for benefits under the EV promotion plan, EV 3.0, which offers a 2% excise tax and a subsidy of up to 150,000 baht.

This rush led to a sharp decline in registrations the following months.

If the cumulative total for the first five months is extrapolated for the entire year, EV sales are expected to be close to 76,000 units, considerably lower than the overall projection of between 100,000 to 130,000 units.

Time will tell for Porsche.

 

I don't know why their Taycan EV sales fell 51% in Q1 & Q2 this year, I can only tell you why I sold mine.

 

I sold mine at 2 years because the warranty was only 2 years, it was also unreliable being trailered back to the authorised dealer twice.  It was going to need 4 new tyres (200,000 THB), it's first service, and another year's insurance (120,000 THB).

 

But most of all I sold it because I read they had dramatically ramped up production and the Thai dealer told me the time on the waiting list was expected to drop significantly and that would likely impact second-hand values.

 

I replaced it with a Chinese EV with similar performance at only 16% of the cost.  It's 95% of the fun.

Apologies i messed up your quote @vinny41

I pointed out on another topic that the figures you are peddling arbitrarily exclude large numbers of ICE pick ups.  Yet here you are peddling the same figures again.

 

 

 

There aren't any EV pickups on the market yet, when there are, I will gladly compare them to ICE pickups.

 

The same goes for tractors, road rollers and all the others you wanted included.

 

My figures include ALL of the RY.1 passenger cars.  That is where we currently have EV's sold.

 

ALL petrol/diesel RY.1 were included and the same for EV's

 

I compared apples to apples, not apples to apples, pears, oranges, prunes, grapes and other irrelevancies.
