Feel sorry for AN posters who bought electric

You took the bait, hook, line and sinker as I thought you would and fell right into the trap.

 

I rarely charged my EV anywhere, except at home. In fact, during my first year of ownership, I only ever charged at home. Only recently, since 01 August to be exact, am I charging my EV at selected chargers as I get to charge for free, compliments of the car manufacturer.

 

What you didn’t realise is that I also have a PHEV. This is the vehicle I drove to Isaan in, a year ago. I wrote, “The last time I went to Isaan, I was able to charge at every charging station that I wanted to”.  I didn’t say that I drove my EV.

 

i thought that you would be a more worthy opponent. I thought wrong.

So which post contains the lies?

Thailand does have a long way to go to clean up it’s grid with the majority of the electricity currently being generated from fossil fuels. However, an increasing number of EV owners are adding solar purely for economic reasons.

 

Thailand does have a plan to expand renewable energy on the grid, with great sunshine and a long coastline for offshore wind it is definitely feasible.

If all EVs were charged like that then yes you would have a point. But it is called a "temporary" charger, used for temporary sites.

Seriously, try harder.

P.S. Yawn.

There is a link between the climate deniers and those who argue against EVs.

 

The mere mention of EVs sends them nutty.

 

If you don’t think there is then I will let you believe that. You believe plenty of other things that doesn’t suit your narrative not based on any facts.

 

Now imagine if the bus that just killed 25 in Bangkok was an EV. That would send them all right off. The climate denying anti EV mob love a good vehicle fire.

If it is an EV.

 

 

I agree that there is a ‘minority’ on here who debate / discuss / argue from a basis of nothing more than uninformed bias…, & I agree that had the bus in question been an EV it would have been like cat-nip the anti-EV’ers….

 

Some may accuse me of being a climate  change denier from the perspective of not buying into all the media frenzy & panic surrounding storms etc, or rather, I sit on the fence that extreme weather is caused by climate change - extreme weather has always happened, it’s just impacting us humans in different ways because there are more of us, living in more areas of the globe with lightening quick social media….  I note that the term

’global warming’ is no longer used. 

 

That  said, I do accept there are human influenced climate alterations, and those alterations have occurred at a rate which appears more accelerated than can be explained by geological time’ - the obvious one is the doubling of atmospheric CO2 (~200 to ~400ppm) since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, though I am highly skeptical of how the issue has been politicized.

 

I like EV’s - I think they are incredible.

I want one because I think they are good vehicles. 
But, I don’t like the existing battery tech & I don’t believe EV’s are the transport solution - it’s just a better solution than ICE, although much in the same manner we used catalytic converters I’m not sure why greater steps were not taken towards CO2 & NO2 recapture. 

 

Am I a climate change denier because of this ? I don’t believe so….

At some point in the future, each neighborhood may have a ‘mini-reactor’ that can supply and respond instantly to local energy demand.

 

The issue of course is safety - serious consequences of taking out a city block when a fuel rod jams - that’s the paranoia anyway. 
Then there is the waste disposal issue - but that can be resolved (somehow - burying deep in the earth - 4km boreholes etc)

 

Had three major nuclear events not happened, the world would already be a very different place from

an energy perspective (the events were Three Mile Island, Chernobyl & Fukushima).

 

Currently hydrocarbons & CO2 is the daemon - but plant life is thriving because of more atmospheric CO2…. 
Does the earth balance itself out ? 
 

I’m really interested in carbon recapture - which I believe is cleaner than battery tech. Also hydrogen power & I expect to see some significant in H2 power along with an increased dependence on biofuels.

I installed solar over 6 years ago to power my house off-grid.

 

฿5,000 a month electric bill x 12months x 6years = ฿360,000

 

 

@NoDisplayName The cost of solar varies wildly. If you opt for a “supply and fit” the installer will charge you a markup on the components as well as the cost of installation.

 

I purchased the components myself and was only charged for ancillaries and installation 

5,000 Watts of PV @ ฿5/W = ฿25,000
5kW of Inversion @ ฿5k/kW = ฿25,000
Total = ฿50,000

 

If you are charged more than ฿100,000 for a 5kW system you are definitely being ripped off.

I agree with @Gweiloman installing solar just to power an EV and a few lights won’t give you good utilization and so a long payback time.

 

Full house solar setup not necessary.  'Lectric bills run max 4000 if all AC's running, as low as 1500 in cooler months.  My six year total would be under 200K.

 

If a small system is cheap enough, should be easier than running power from the house.  Don't drive much, car could sit for days unused and charging, so never need to use an EV station.

 

No EV stations locally, nearest I've seen is 50km away.  Car would be used for local shopping and the occasional foray into the big city or to immigration.  I can keep the CNG Hilux for totin' large items and travel.

 

If a small battery storage module is cheap enough, why waste free 'lectric?

Given your demonstrated knowledge of solar and electricity I’d suggest giving the self installation a miss…

 

Don't worry 'bout me, buddy.  I know little to nothing 'bout solar systems now, that's why I be axin' questions.  Shirley, I'll "do my own research" before embarking on an installation.

Nah .... as you'll still be adding to the low level air pollution.  Since usually diesel, the most unhealthy, kind of defeats the whole purpose.   Only the companies make more profit by better operating fuel economy.  Still addicted to fossil fuel.

It is an entry level (POS) made in TH car, that now has to compete on the market against new BEVs in the 500k+/- baht range.   

 

Kind of validated the other thread about 2nd hand sellers in deep sh!t due to better, lower priced EVs now on the market.

 

If I had an ICEV that I wasn't going to keep till it dies, I'd be looking to sell ASAP, before the market gets even harder to sell.

Good advice given to check out @atpeace thread about his install.  We paid for installation, on our larger system, so not sure it would be helpful.   Overkill for what you're asking.

 

A few others have DIY systems, can point you in the right direction.  A few threads running in this forum

What you ask for, and what you'll actually get is 2 different things.  Peek at FB Marketplace for 12 yr old Jazz, and it won't be 1/4 baht range.  Plenty asking, but plenty more in the 150k+/-

 

Jazz cost quite a bit more than MG3 back then.

I answered you, yet you ignored me. Your silence is deafening.

Not sure what you are trying to prove. Generators are common. Someone has brought to market a temporary generator that can charge EVs in temporary or very remote locations. Temporary. It is not a permanent charging station. Temporary. Are all EVs being charge by diesel generators?

Read the tech spec or is that too much trouble? Posting the actual link was clearly too much trouble for you - seems you can only deal in pictures.
