Thailand Motor Show Now Flooded with EVs

[@marcp108]

Looks like a big day. Still not sure about EVs yet. I don't imagine I'll own one in my lifetime. Great footage of the girls at the car show - much more interesting than the cars. The Bug Show looked fun!

[@beachcaster56]

EV cars ..............dead ducks...... Keep your diesel... Electric cars ...twice the price ...half as useful.

[@12bigredd]

whale oil sellers used to say the same about oil lol get over it. electric cars are what we all gonna be driving... why you say? why do you think Elon is chumming up with donnie so much? gop wins his electric charging network charging those cars..... get what you want but please lets not pretend oil is not finite and will run out so it needs replacing. get the tech started now. btw at least come up a better argument than that which has been used everytime tech changes lol

[@bcpioneer59]

​@@12bigreddwell if you think electric is the way you certainly don't have any Common Sense either. Exactly where do you think the electricity comes from other than the socket on the wall solar power and wind power do not generate enough power as it is. The windmills they put up everywhere obviously proven they are not sustainable and they do not generate enough to make up for what the cost them. And hydroelectric dams flood billions of Acres and disperse millions of Wildlife and farming Acres because someone wants to drive a car run by a battery. So many places have brownouts already because they can't even run air conditioners in the home and you think the world is going to run off electricity you don't even know how it's made

[@12bigredd]

@@bcpioneer59 my point is oil is finite.... it will run out... so we will need other tech and unless we can make portable little mini reactors to power a generator system of some sort a battery will be the only option. so please to quote yourself use your common sense and get over it.. whale oil was replaced, steam was replaced coal will be replaced and so will oil... it is tthe way of things for new tech to replace the old and its also the way of things that sellers of the old tech will hang on as long as they can lol now don't look up :) and personally why should we not build the newest and the best.

[@formworksucks]

Once a battery that can be fully charged in 30 minutes or less is installed on EV's Then it will be curtains for the diesel/petrol vehicles. It's the only thing holding them back from totally taking over.

[@grahamjohnson4702]

EVs are a bit complicated for Thailand as the country is large with a lot of undeveloped areas so hard to provide charging in my opinion for both charging areas and at home charging, but in the big cities and towns is good because in heavy traffic situations you are not wasting fuel by sitting stationary in the traffic jams, suitable for both buses and taxi in fact in China ICE vehicles are not allowed for buses or taxi's. With the long charging times, an 8 hour journey would easily become a 10/11 hour journey. Suvarnabhumi Airport has a fleet of EV taxis but at a price higher than ICE taxis

wow! awesome info

[@Jazzmaster71]

EV sales in developed countries is dropping especially when the state subsidizing is reduced or removed. Thais will wake up to the bitter taste when they realize the de-priciation is brutal. Charging infrastructure is sub par i Thailand. And elecreicity prices will soar in the upcomming years. EVs is an upper middle class/rich thing and they will buy Evs until the reality hits them in the face. Chinese Ev manufacturers also gives Thai decicion makers commission for their unregulated imports of Chinese EVs.

[@bcpioneer59]

I do not think I have ever see so many sad car show girls, especially the ones in baggy t shirts dancing a couple looked like they were ready to cry, Another interesting video, thanks for posting

[@andrewmack2161]

The appetite for EVs is dropping off in developed countries, so the manufacturers are diving into developing countries to replace that disappearing market, by selling them the 'It's the future' line.

[@emeldahay]

On trip from bkk to pattaya i went to 6 charging stations before I found one that was operational.

[@andrewmack2161]

@@emeldahay That sounds like the UK.

[@Crazyreseller]

Sales trend data shows a 4% growth in EV sales YOY, albeit slow the demand is increasing, not “dropping off”. There is a reason you are seeing more EVs at car shows because that IS the direction things are going. It is estimated by 2025 10% of all new car sales will be EV and that is projected to be over 60% by 2040. The EV takeover will not be overnight but, make no mistake it IS coming, and coming hard.

[@emeldahay]

@@Crazyresellerfor some evs fit with lifestyle but for a lot of people ev ownership comes with a lot of unadvertised drawbacks. Once the drawbacks of evs become as widly known as the benifits i see a looming problem for ev sales. Evs benifit from overwhelming but not entirely accurate , positive spamming by media. I was expecting the ev ownership experience i read about. I bought a tesla and a bmw ce 04 ev bike at same time. Almost everyone i know who owns evs say they probably wont buy another ev for a long time. Ev Ownership issues are not good for longterm sales. I realized recently the saddest faces i see are always at the charging stations.

Does Thailand have the infrastructure to charge EVs? If not what's the point in trying to sell them in Thailand.

[@pfineyut]

I am not really up on Thailand's infrastructure, but can their electricity grid cope with the higher demand that EVs bring with them? Does Thailand have much Hydro-power?

[@boogboog8097]

Not a chance go into Google street view in any urban street and look at the mess of cables everywhere

[@andrewmack2161]

If you're only doing local travel, a home solar could work adequately. With the accident rate in TH and the severe results EV accidents have, probably not such a great option for anyone that travels further.

[@Jazzmaster71]

The Thai electricity infrastructure is terrible. Coal and fossil fuel energy plants is producing electricity. Thailand doesn't have 1 wind turbine farm or hydro plant farm. Wrong country for EVs.

[@andrewmack2161]

Toyota do manufacture a few EVs but they've stated many times that EVs are a long way in the future. They see Hybrids as the best option until new battery tech makes EVs a viable solution.

[@ccrider8483]

Toyota the voice of reason and logic on a topic promoted by politicians and climate do nothings.

[@emeldahay]

My condo has 4 ev chargers. If you don't move car within 30 mins of it finishing you pay 300 baht for occupying the space. I get why they do that. BUT... That means if your car says it will finish charging at 4am you need to set an alarm to wake up and move your car. Yeah, not something EV lovers talk about.

[@andrewmack2161]

There's areas in China and Korea where they're banning EV charging in Condo u/ground car parks because of the fire risk (Less likely but almost impossible to extinguish).

[@boogboog8097]

4 chargers for how many apartments ? Likely that is all the loading main cables supplying the building can take.

Guess Electric motorbikes will be popular in Thailand just like cars. Harley Davidsen is moving the rest of production to Thailand and they make nice electric ones. Car production is turned upside down now, the one you said is big is now small producers. And Ev pick ups are coming soon, like the most selling pick up in the US, now from Tesla! Going fast

[@ralfcieluch5970]

French fries actually come from Belgium. No idea why they are called French fries? Maybe because French is spoken in one part of Belgium?

Apparently it has nothing to do with the country but rather, the method of cutting potatoes.

[@jgb4unme1]

Bug world looked cute:) I know i aid it before, but it is nice to have so much stuff "pop up" around where you live. That would be nice. The EVs look neat. I think i'd prefer a hybrid, but only because I think i'd want to go on trips and I would be nervous about being able to charge throughout a journey. If you just had a small one for local stuff (groceries, golf, shopping), it would be awesome! Have a great week!

[@geoffgill3240]

In Europe sales of electric cars are down dramatically, also MG just came out as the least reliable cars.....

[@ronthompson2366]

Great time. Thailand is the land of smiles, lol. Those events are just fun. Of course, the women are beautiful, and you're not on the soi scene... EV's are great vehicles. Although in the states there was to strong a push on them and no support... not enough charging centers. Coupled with the distances traveled and lack of ability to travel... Anyway, it will be a while, be they are completely accepted in the US. Also those offered were very expensive.

[@acewongsawad6910]

Well, the show models were certainly more conservatively dressed for this show compared to the ones in BKK. 😅 alright Rayong!

Glad you went back. Very good sized crowd. Small EV is tempting price point.

[@themacker894]

Hello! My wife and I love your channel and we enjoy sharing in your adventures. I'm a doctor and I'm starting to get a little concerned about the road you may be heading down. Knowledge is power, and a good physical with blood work including a cholesterol (with ApoB Lipoproteins especially) and a complete sugar workup (with fasting) is a great start. Life is fun until a stroke shows up and changes everything in a heartbeat. Hang in there and be healthy!

[@12bigredd]

yeah like it or not EV's gonna be the way.... and being disabled and already using a electric mobility scooter they great:) torque for days.

[@JohnCeragioli]

When you go to the malls in Bangkok, often on the first floor, new cars will be shown. Usually one manufacturer only, nothing as extensive as this. Because of mall competition, they all do interesting things like Bug World. Thailand really does shopping right! Thanks for the video! ❤

[@PREPFORIT]

Beautiful Beauties and electric vehicles = Awesome. I will look for those adult beverages!!

[@robertdawson4502]

I have a cousin that lives on Oahu Hawaii that has an EV. But Oahu is a small island, and you could drive the entire island easily on a single charge. But it gets far more complicated for long distance travel in America. I drove to Yellowstone National Park 4 years ago. It would have taken far more planning to do that trip in an EV. I can't say that I know if it would even be possible to do that trip in an EV. Far too few charging stations that I'm aware of.

[@upyerkiltladdie8297]

A lot of the big companies here in the west are scaling down their EV manufacturing !! I believe there is another fuel source on it's way !! Just my opinion though !!

Take up of EVs in China is huge, notice that KZbinrs comment how quiet the traffic is in Chinese cities, not to mention the commensurate improvement in air quality. Imagine a clean,quiet Bangkok...the disruption is well underway and the ICE companies in the west are now in crisis due to their complacency and resistance to change....🥳

[@andrewmack2161]

No, ICE manufacturers in Europe are in crisis because of their move to EVs to a level that the European market doesn't want. EV sales have dropped off and the manufacturers are closing down very expensive new manufacturing facilities and making their staff redundant.
