Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

DB, what kind of marks would you give your MG? I think you are about 2 year into ownership now? Are you as positive as KhunLA seems to be? :cheers: Well I think KhunLA is slightly more convinced than I am, but having said that I don’t regret buying the car one bit - actually just over 3 years ago n...

Re: FA Cup 2025

I’m not disagreeing with your sentiment - almost the opposite, it’s just that the glamour of the FA Cup disappeared years ago as far as I’m concerned - during my playing days I used to really look forward to one of the minnows getting a scalp - although I’d still be happy to see the same now, I just...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

When you buy an EV does it come with a charging wire (Length?), the male end insert, and the needed base box/parts that you can have an electrician install on your house. If not, does the dealer sell them as "accessories"? I think that all EV’s/PHEV’s will come with a cable - my car came ...

Re: FA Cup 2025

To be honest, the glamour of the FA Cup probably disappeared about 20 years ago - other than in the final stages, most of the “big” clubs use it as an opportunity to field their youngsters/second stream players against lower opposition so the “big shocks” of yesteryear have become a thing of the pas...

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

I wouldn’t have full confidence that the water is properly tested to ensure it meets minimum standards - maybe I’m too pessimistic, but I certainly would consume any orally (hold your breath when talking a shower) :duck:

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Germany records a 29% year on year drop in new EV sales. I think unless something is done to tackle cost, EV sales will continue to drop across Europe and beyond. It’s happening across most of the EU https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1889719/eu-electric-cars-sales-plummet-germany?gaa_at=la&g...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

I’m mindful that we’re living here in Thailand but surely a bit of perspective now and again doesn’t take away what we’re discussing. I’m definitely not the only person who’s “guilty” of doing that!!

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

The price of pork must be the wholesale price because it’s quite a bit more than that in the supermarkets. Indeed, CP must make its profits regardless. These increases appear to be climate-related though, and this is only going to get worse with amplified and accelerated drought/flood cycles in Tha...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

The price of pork must be the wholesale price because it’s quite a bit more than that in the supermarkets. If the price of the inputs go up, then the price of the output has to go up - people won’t like it but what are producers expected to do - work at a loss? Fortunately the rich retired farang wi...

Re: Champion's League 23/24

Both City and Arsenal get dumped out of the Champions League - on chances City should have won by a landslide but ended up losing in a penalty shootout. The Arsenal game was closer although they still had chances to win but didn’t take them. Let’s see if/how these results affect the run in to the Pr...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^It would make more sense to me if it was a plug in hybrid with a realistic electric driving range, so you could use it for local driving as an ev and long range as a petrol car but the one I saw wasn't, it was just a hybrid. I don’t know whether Nissan sell a hybrid Kicks, but the e-power version ...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

In the UK you can buy either a Nissan X-Trail or Qashqai with this technology - 100% electric drive but with a combustion engine to feed the battery/motor - range anxiety no longer an issue!!

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax

I was thinking the same about phones and distractions, I can understand the benefits of a map if you’re going somewhere you don’t know - of course everyone to themselves but it looks like an unnecessary potential hazard to me.
