Electric Vehicles in Thailand
The EV charging stations numbers in above report are from "Dec 2022" per the report....over two and half years old data....big time outdated now. Using the chart that UWEB posted above from the Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT) it's much more up to date, BUT, even its numbers are somewhat low as all charging networks/companies in Thailand do not report their charging stations data to EVAT. But you are on-target regarding few EV charging stations being slim-pickings in parts of Kanchanaburi province and even neighboring Ratchaburi province...especially the western part of this two big provinces which border Myanmar. And even the number of dino fuel stations is slim. I've done a far amount of driving in that area and it can make a person feel a little uneasy if you entered the area low on dino fuel or electron fuel thinking there would be plenty of fuel stations. All too often some folks will post snapshots from charging app maps showing pin drops representing charging stations around Thailand. And when looking at the country as a whole with big pin drops it can make it look like charging stations are located all over the country every few kilometers. HOWEVER, BUT, when zooming in on the map to different parts to the Thailand like the western part, upper central, Isan, etc., a person quickly sees the number of charging stations drops way, way down and they get farther and farther and farther apart. BUT if a person is traveling thru such areas on "main roads/highways" there are more than enough charging stations to complete your trip. Now if a person is living in some of these charging-station-poor areas of Thailand without home charging capability and must rely on charging network chargers then keeping the EV charged can get more challenging unless the person enjoys setting at low power AC chargers for hours and hours. -

‘It doesn’t matter now if they are children’
True, the war would end if Hamas surrendered; that’s true of the other side in any war. But enemies rarely oblige, and Hamas’s unwillingness to surrender cannot justify what Israel has done with American complicity: the killing of an estimated 18,000 children, the starvation of a population and the leveling of entire neighborhoods. According to UNICEF, Gaza has the highest proportion of child amputees in the world. I’ve covered many wars in my career, and Gaza is distinguished by its pointless destructiveness — at least 70 percent of Gaza’s buildings have been damaged or destroyed. Add to that the fact that the United States provides weaponry, other forms of military assistance and diplomatic cover to Israel that contribute to a war effort that includes a series of incidents that seem very likely to be war crimes. That number of 18,000 dead children comes from a health ministry overseen by Hamas — why should we trust it? And starvation is disputed. Why can’t you acknowledge that the situation on the ground in Gaza is more murky than ideologues claim? I’ve talked to Gazans and to doctors and aid workers who have worked there. They all agree that Gazans are starving and dying of starvation. At some point, trying to dismiss hunger in Gaza amounts to a denial of a shameful reality. It’s true that humanitarian organizations sometimes exaggerate — some were premature in 2024 to say that famine was already underway — but that is a reason for relentless empiricism and skepticism, not for crediting self-serving assertions by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. To their credit, some Israeli human rights groups and citizens have stepped forward to protest the horrors of Gaza. They should inspire all of us. What’s most important is not whether we are pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian; it’s that we be anti-massacre, anti-rape and anti-starvation. For almost two years, Americans have seen what was going on in Gaza, yet our leaders enabled mass killing and starvation. Gaza represents not some distant and inevitable tragedy, but our own moral and practical failing. We have blood on our hands.
