One of the worst characteristics of battery cars is that their battery packs, often weighing 500kg, are rarely recycled. They end up in a third-world landfill. That’s because very few have had to be scrapped, but as more EV batteries need scraping, more companies will come online to scrap them and ...

She’s flown home on expired passport 10 years ago no problem, but she’ll carry her UK passport with her just in case.

Nice EVSE installation Steve. 👍 I’m not up with electric prices there as in-laws take care of that. Back here we only ever charge on Octopus Go @8p per kWh and get cheap electric from 00.30-05.30am which is enough for two cars to keep topped up. They have another tariff Intelligent Octopus Go where ...

She’s only going for 26 days, so there’s no chance she’d be classed of overstaying if she goes on British passport.
As for renewing in HH, that’s only if her and family go there, they may decide to go North.

Her Thai passport has actually run out, but she can still fly back on it and she’ll renew in BKK when there.
I agree Dannie, she’ll go online within the window and fill it out.
Better safe than sorry.

A question for everyone.
If my wife who’s traveling to Thailand in a month or so, travels on her British passport, does she need to complete the TM6 online form. What happens if she travels on her Thai passport, is the TM6 form not required?
TIA.
Don.

Wonderful pictures and the story fills the scenes.

Well, it’ll be an adventure if nothing else and your wife gets to see her sister, so brownie points to be earned as well.

I’m not worried about being taxed in Thailand when we move back,
I’ll just get some more popcorn.

Well the previous EV we had and the 2 new ones all have what’s known as VESS, a sound emitted by the vehicle at low city speeds of around 20mph, speeds above that and it’s switched off automatically. Any fool that crosses a road whilst looking at their mobile or with earphones on will soon know what...

Yet another new model from BYD: BYD launches sleek new Tesla Model Y rivaling Sea Lion 07 electric SUV starting at $26K https://electrek.co/2024/05/13/byd-launches-tesla-model-y-rivaling-sea-lion-07-starting-26k/ I’d take the $$$ price with a pinch of salt. May apply in China, but they’ll probably ...

Interesting if true.

Imagine just how devastating to the environment the production and use of the fossil fuels would be in your fantasy world.

I’ve done almost 97,000 kilometres in mine in 2.10 years and would expect it to achieve well over 600k with no battery issues if I were to keep using it (we’ve now got 2 new EV’s) on a regular basis. I would expect that if I was in Thailand with a high ambient temperature I’d get a higher range and ...
