A especially if Chinese cars start popping up everywhere like Thai coffee shops.

Spontaneous combustion, add a yearly flood cycle, people could be shocked how much the electric repair will be, drive up insurance rates, lots of parts available soon!

A series of childish posts by several posters removed.

Please be polite and civil to each other or face sitting alone in the naughty corner for a day.

Yes indeed, the only difference is that NEW Chinese EV cars are on fire sale.

 

So do you think that someone who buys a new EV at price X, and next year the same car cost new 20% less, that the second hand value of the 1 year old car is calculated on the price he paid 1 year ago, or the current new price?

The market creates the second hand value and nothing else. Of course you can use some lists or calculations or whatever. But in the end you need to make a price that someone is willing to buy your car.

It's a 2024 model.

It has 5,xxx km on it.

It has depreciated about 50%!

 

Meaning YOUR link to a 2022 anecdote that is older than the 2024 anecdote depreciating about 50% is much worser as a comparison.

 

It actually "proves" that ICE vehicles depreciate TWICE as fast as EV's.

It was built sometime in 2023 it was registered in February 2024

I seen 2013 cars built in 2013  advertised on one2car as 2022 model because the owner drove around on red plates for 9 years

due to the dynamic pricing of EV insurance compainies are planning to reduce the capital value of EV by 30% each year instead of the current 10%

“Now each insurance company is reducing the insurance capital of new EV cars and it is expected that the insurance capital in the future will decrease by 30% per year, not just 10% anymore because the price of EV cars is quite dynamic. Every company has to think and act again because if the insurance capital of EV cars is more expensive than the second-hand price, there will be fraud,” said the source https://www.prachachat.net/finance/news-1598803

I think there’s a translation error, I think when they say your existing car will have a trade-in value of a maximum of ฿240,000, they actually mean a minimum of ฿240,000.

Not because they are bad, but because the prices will keep dropping.

 

 

Nothing new: it happens anytime a new technology is introduced. Early adopters always pay a premium price for a product due to become pretty soon obsolete and surpassed by the latest novelties.

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. 

 

Carbon capture and storage is an exercise in thermodynamic implausibility.

 

AFAIK there is not a single CCS facility which is operating to its design parameters. Even one of the CCS's most vocal proponents, Professor Tim Flannery, has admitted the technology does not work.

 

CCS is a scientific hoax, like Piltdown Man and cold fusion. The fact billions have been spent on it does not make it any less of a con by the fossil fuel industry.

Nobody seems to be asking the question what happens if an EV gets flooded. Perhaps our EV owners can comment on the potential for electrocution.

Sadly no one can answer you as it rained last night and they've all been electrocuted.
