Pattaya: Walking Street is famous for its vibrant nightlife, bars, and adult entertainment establishments. Phuket: Patong Beach’s Bangla Road is a lively area with many bars, clubs, and entertainment venues. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Speaking of "spare parts" last week I had the 40,000 kilometer checkup done on my Atto....checkup went fine....totally free. But I did pay out of pocket for some "optional" maintenance of having the A/C "evaporator coils cleaned. The evaporator coils are in/under the dashboard; I'm not talking the A/C condenser coils in front of the radiator. Anyway, I went into the maintenance bay for a few minutes while they were doing the checkup on my EV and saw a big pile of spare parts and part of that pile was a Dolphin traction battery out of it wooden packing box setting on sawhorses. This allowed me to get a good look (to include touching) of the traction battery on its sides, top, bottom, and connectors....it's very obvious the traction battery is very simple to to remove and install ( i.e., replace). And right next to it was two more traction batteries still in their wooden packing cases and the technician said those were Atto batteries. When I saw those traction batteries I got a good feeling of knowing BYD traction batteries are probably readily available from the main BYD/ReverAutomotive warehouse in Bangkok where supposedly they keep 30 spare traction batteries at all time according to a video BYD released last year. AND at the same time I felt a little bad that if my "little" BYD dealership has 3 traction batteries then some traction batteries must need replacement---don't know if due to just normal wear-and-tear failure or from accidents as they have a small maintenance area with only three lifts. But I do know my "little" dealership does not do any major body repair like from accidents as they are too small...don't have the necessary space and equipment...they refer accident maintenance to one of the nearby much larger BYD dealerships like the other nearby dealership I use sometimes which has a big maintenance area, 12 lifts, different maintenance areas like a dedicated body repair & paint area, etc....etc...etc. Yeap, when I saw those three replacement traction batteries I got mixed feeling.
