At the moment I'm still working and can easily afford it but in a few years I'll be retired and keeping costs down will be more of a priority, so I'll just do a quick rough calculation and as long as it looks like it will pa...

Has anyone done a recent review of the payback for having solar power installed - I’m sure that if these sort of temperatures become the norm then more people will want to consider solar?

This is where I believe Thailand will be heading very soon: History has been made over the period April 1-14, sales of new energy vehicles (NEV) exceeded half of all car sales in China. New energy vehicles is a Chinese umbrella term encompassing a number of types but in reality means largely pure el...

This article is specifically UK biased... I think Thailand will be different. In the west, you have a lot of very big money, the oil companies and many established car companies, very actively trying to stop the adoption of electric cars. In Thailand, there is a lot of big established money going i...

It looks like a supremely civilized way to travel in to me and why would you want to drive if you can afford not to?

This is what is offered on the AIS app:

I was reading some BYD promotions for Thailand yesterday and they were offering a free charger installation for your home. As for MG EVs, I'm increasingly seeing them being used as taxis here in Luxembourg which is interesting because when I first came to work here, nearly every taxi was a diesel Me...
