K Bank App Problem

[carlyai]

A quick weekend trip to Nong Kai.

Because my 1 year extension is due in September and my passport runs out during the extension I got a new passport.

Being oldish I wasn't thinking about the hotel I booked into letting immigration know, so ended up my KBank app. has been cancelled.

Now I use my app to scan and pay for my EV charging which I now can't do.

The bank says it will take 3 days to unblock my app.

Hopefully the EV charger has a tap-and-pay or ..... maybe I can use my Aussie credit card to pay for the charge.

Bit stuck for answers at the moment, so will go the BYD (hopefully they have one here) to charge the car and see what happens.

Don't get old and have a tiff with SWMBO. 🙂

Two threads in one.

Did I get it right?

You have a new passport and that was not registered at immigration and the bank yet?

Very interesting that the hotel's registration at immigration goes through to the bank? Fully networked??

 

I get a new passport till end of August. Sounds like first rush to immigration and then to the banks?

 

Can't help about EV charging.

Only problem is the EV charging, hopefully BYD is open here on Sunday and if all else fails I can probably con BYD into charging the car and give them some money.

You would think there must be more than 1 way of paying for a charge.

I can fix the other up at the bank on Monday.

KBank emergency phone number said take my internet provider paper and my 2 passports to the bank and they will register my phone number with the new passport.

Only the app has been blocked, evidently KBank card still works.

Another title might draw more attention? Like:

Payment methods for EV charging (BYD)

[carlyai]

Home is 241 km away, BYD app battery says a range of 242 km, so should I chance it?   Yeah.....Nu.

Worst case I can get Wifey to drive to Kalasin BYD with her KBank card and meet her there.

BYD should have chargers available on a Sunday, check with the Reversharger app.

 

You get 24 hours to pay your charge bill.

don’t take the risk … for example, just drive to a PEA charging station, and you or your wife can easily top up the wallet for charging ...

Went to BYD to use their charger but no charger at BYD.

Decided to drive towards Yang Talat to met wifey and stop at PTT to charge.

First station broken, next station plugged in an EV charger came up with alarm and wouldn't let me pull the cable out, so with the great help from the 7/11 manager and contact with EV charger phone number reset a couple of breakers in the cabinet, that kept tripping, but now charging. 

So hopefully I can swipe my KBank card or pay later to get the cable out.

Wifey thinks you have to pay first to get the cable out. Will see.

All good, charged OK Pay later.

Usually not a problem,drive slow and you will have power left over when you get home.

I tried it in an EV,driving slower and accelerating slower gave me and extra 108 km.

This was starting with a full charge.

Hello. Yes was driving slowly, aircon off, windows open, music off and feet of the floor ( to lower the weight) and the kms were getting better all the time, until I found a working charger.

Twas interesting that BYD God kept closing the windows.

So what have you learned from this episode?

Sometime before when I received the car I must have set up EV PTT charger with my bank so the charge was paid for when the charge finished, therefore I didn't really need the bank app.

Also when I was working with the 7/11 lady sometime the ringing the EV charger help number was answered and sometimes not.
