Be ready for more fires that will go out of control. BYD= Burn Your Driveway. Check out the numerous fires in China that they have from BYD plus the CCP is covering up most of the incidents. Buyer beware, cheap for a reason.
Six years ago, I spent 150,000 RMB to buy a Geely brand electric car in China! I calculated that the money I saved on gasoline in six years plus the money I earned from selling the old car could buy me a new and more advanced car!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Conversion of ICE vehicles to EVs is one of the key changes that Thailand must make for a less polluted, cleaner and greener Thailand. These new energy cars will help immensely in the transformation that Thailand needs and not to mention the new job opportunities and economic development that will come with it. As the clip had show, consumers can also save significant running cost long into the future. This is very good for rheir wallets too! And the Chinese will make great partners for Thailand to this end. It is a wonderful win-win situation for both countries. I cheer this!
@MrM.P You meant the government of the country needed to stay focused into their long-term plan. The Chinese can only do so much if the government of the investing countries change their initiatives under pressure from pinhead bully like Uncle joe blows.
transistion will be painful but in the long run most people who loose their suplly chain part jobs would reapply for electric supply chain parts later on but yeah it will take time@@MrM.P
@@MrM.P You don't understand, lithium polymer batteries used in smartphones are not the same as the batteries used in electric cars, if electric car tech would be integrated into a phone battery let's say NMC I would be walking around with 8000 mah battery in a Samsung galaxy S24 Ultra form factor, not to mention changing it every 10 years. New Chinese EV batteries last past 10 years, stop living in 2015, live in 2024 please.
@@MrM.P Most EV batteries have 8 year warranty at the moment. Some are even starting to go with lifetime warranty. That's just the warranty period. It's highly likely that most batteries will last far longer than 8 years.
I saw a video... In China, the taxis can literally swap batteries..they drive to a station.. get out of the EV, the machine lifts up the EV cab, remove the battery under the EV and replace it with a fully charged battery.. I think this may be the solution for EV who are constantly on the road..
@@lingth Thinking on that. The battery is the most expensive part of the battery driven cart as we all know. So given you have a brand new car that needs a charge you would be willing to get a battery of unknown status installed to your cart in exchange for your discharged brand new battery? Doesn’t make any sense but then again I wouldn’t ever buy a battery drive cart.
@@TheTruth-dy8ze Your words reminded me of someone who once said, "I will never buy a gas-powered car because my horse-drawn carriage is so reliable."
@@leeh1626We phased out horses some time ago in this country do you still eat them as well as dog and snakes. Sorry I’m not old enough to have owned a horse. BTW Lee “quote” has an “e” on the end. So you still think battery driven cars are it, POWERED BY THE COAL GENERATORS, sad that the Chinese are so easily brain washed by the CCP they really have you under control.
Electric tuk tuks would be wonderful. Tuk tuks should remain in existence as another example of soft power. They should be fast charging or swappable so the tuk tuks can quickly get back to work for their drivers.
Thailand must not stop progress …. Whether it is BYD or whatever. USA propaganda will want Thailand to shun China….and that is stupid. China have help the economies of SEA tremendously. Win win.
BYD open factory in Thailand and soon in Indonesia . this two country is the center of Japanese car maker in SE Asia and has been exporting cars to world wide. The Japanese car future is so so dire
As an American, I'm very glad to see Thailand embracing electric vehicles and trying to reduce emissions. China developing these huge, successful international EV companies is great to see, too. I hope it works out for you guys. I hope my own country can get its act together and start moving away from fossil fuels, too.🥥🌴🌎🌍🌏
The air polution is unbearable in the streets of Bangkok. EVs will improve that significantly. If EVs are too expensive, they could at least adopt electric motors and tuktuks first.
@@HaTran-on4dj Pls educate urself abt what is the main source of Thailand's power production. Also, I never said the whole value chain of EVs does not produce any pollution. However, it is still a lot more environmentally friendly compared to the value chain of ICEs. BTW, using LNG to produce power does bring pollution but LNG is still considered a green energy source.
@@chiyanlai1566 I know where the electricity comes from. But do you know the carbon footprint difference between the value chains of EVs and ICEs? There's always ppl like u trying to discredit EVs just 'cuz it's not ZERO emission. For most ppl with critical thinking abilities, improvement is improvement!!!!
Thailand has to import huge quantities of oil which is around $40 Billion every year and it's the largest trade deficit of the country. If they turn to EV, Thailand's and Thai people will saved a lot of money for other developments. I saved 8-9000 Baht a month after turned to EV's, I have money left or can spend that money of locals economy.
@@sokapokvic2514 in indo they are shifting towards ev cos we can use up our coal reserves instead of petrol... So switching from petrol to coal, switching one poison for another
@@Batucadax At least Indonesia don't have to imported huge oil from others. Electricity we can generate by ourselves such Dam. Solar farm or wind farm. Thailand export electricity to many countries but not for oil. Oil and Gas in huge burden.
I live in Beijing and noticed that car traffic pollution has been greatly reduced in recent years as drivers increasingly switch to EVs. Hoefully, Bangkok can enjoy the same air quality as in Beijing.
Yes, Thailand should start dumping the use of all combution engine cars especially Japanese brands which is popular in Thailand and change to Electric Vehicles. A couple of years ago, i went to Thailand for vacation and when i landed at the airport, i was so shocked to see the sky in Bangkok covered with smog.
@@alexmcwhirter6611nope, the only nuclear power plant built in the 1970s were not used because of "fault line" and environmental reasons... now we have to backtrack and make more of those that we had abandoned decades ago.. backwards ahh country
Soon Chinese parents will look at their children at dinner time and say ： "If you don't study hard, you will only be able to drive a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW in the future."
CNA IS MAD AT CHINAS SUCCESS. AS LEE QUAN YEI SAID, THE CHINESE USED TO COME TO LEARN FROM US IN SINGAPORE. IN THE FEATURE SINGAPOREANS WILL BE GOING TO CHINA TO LEARN FROM THE CHINESE.
In my country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, we have the chukudu, a wooden scooter used for transporting cargo. It is an eco-friendly vehicle...... better than EVs.
"Intel inside" --> "Intel outside" Five rounds of layoffs in two years is absurd. 2024-8-1 , Intel is laying off over 15,000 employees and will stop ‘non-essential work’
Air pollution and noise pollution are beyond tolerance in Bangkok and Thai cities. ICE tuk tuk are too noisy for human ear for long term it impact badly for ears. And lungs are full of smokd and heat. Not a liviable place or environment for educated middle or upper classes.
Wow, Lithium mining didn't cause any pollution at all, right ? Not counting how nowsaday produce electricity. T is kinda right though, trying to turn ICE to run on either Hydrogen or Ammonia.
Thailand's natural resources to make batteries for EV is not as big as Indonesia. Indonesia have all this natural resources to make EV batteries and most of EV brands (from korea, china, vietnam, japan and europe) have already invested in Indonesia to produce EV. BYD also will start to build their production in Indonesia in 2025. So, in my opinion, in the future, Indonesia will take over the lead of EV industry in South East Asia.
key to gradually move to full EV is to introduce hybrid. Hybrid allows for use of gas, to relive range anxiety from lack of infrastructure for electric charging stations. BYD new hybrid can give 2000 km range with petrol. Charge at home and it still have petrol just incase you find yourself in a jam. Instead of filling up once per week. you may only need only to fill up one time per month
@@mistercircus Very true. The complexity of not 1 but 2 power systems in one car. The one thing hybrids might help with are _corner cases_ of situations of people that live very rural locations and only have access to gasoline, and EV mandates have killed off purchase of new ICE vehicles. With the 2035 ICE ban looming in US/Canada/EU, there is already a provision for hybrids. But that should not happen much with proper EV infrastructure planning. Eventually, it will be ICE drivers that suffer from "range anxiety" as gas stations disappear or convert over to EV charging stations!
@@beyondfossil I just wish they completely ban Diesel cars by 2035 by sale and driving, then I would be able to walk around without needing an inhaler due to toxic fumes giving asthma attacks.
@@MF2_ETaube Agreed. Some things that make big cargo trucks easier to electrify are: (1) They usually travel fixed routes so it's easier to strategically place EV charging stations or battery swap stations along these routes (2)Trucks have a large open chassis with external gas tanks which can be replaced with swappable batteries. The swap can quickly occur with a forklift on either side of the truck. (3) Will actually save shipping company's big money on fuel savings especially if they have access to cheap solar energy on-site or with energy contracts.
Fiat/Abarth, Peugeot, ..., it is all Stellantis which is looking to increase local EV production and establish Thailand as local EV hub (China covered via their Leapmotor JV).
Thailand is so close to Australia and yet the options for Ev's here are pathetic yet we don't even have a car industry to protect, I have to assume some aussie politicians are getting rich from keeping the ice gravy train flowing for as long as possible....
That EV dream seems to slowly morph into a nightmare in Europe. Charging is slow and space is limited. Second hand EV sales dropped. A new battery pack is very expensive. The powergrid is near max capacity... etc.
That's what happens when you shutdown nuclear power plants. Fossil fuel corps have been pushing anti nuclear propaganda for decades. US is the only country with around 100 nuclear plants in-service(Soviet Union was in close second). China has the right path, where Nuclear, green energy, and fossil fuels work together to boost the country's energy output instead of fighting each other. Chinese also have battery swap technology, which is faster than gas refueling will ever be. They even have drones to deliver fresh batteries on both home and on the road.
Europe doesn't get cheap Chinese EV's like south east asia. The BYD's in Europe is even more expensive than regular petrol cars. In SEA, regular imported cars are taxed 300%, while EV's are duty free.. different country, different situation.
thailand is at a crossroads in the journey to promote ev cars public charging points/stations motorist start to switch and opt for cleaner and greener vehicles hailing service (taxi...), shall we hail a taxi? is a homegrown player ev in thailand despite the existence of political opposition parties in the internal combustion engine vehicles but soon this 40-year-old high company will be churning out products required by EV to stay relevant has spawned an entire ecosystem of support industries made up of many local companies...as a vehicle of opportunity for them have come on strong on EV sector another boost to bilateral relations between... about three hours drive from bangkok opened its first plant in thailand since then he's been tirelessly wooing FDI
not one word in this entire documentary about the extra generation required to provide electricity to charge these extra millions of vehicles!...whether solar,hydro or biomass...why?😂
Majority of EVs sold in Thailand are from China and it would be a bit risky if you are too dependent on China. Look at what happened to many countries who fall prey for being too tied up with China and Thailand should be careful before becoming one of them.
Countries in Asia have been dealing with China for centuries. Westerners trying to teach Asians how to deal with China is like BBC teaching Asians how to cook egg fried rice
Ở Việt Nam chúng tôi nói đến xe Trung Quốc lập tức mọi người nghĩ đến 1. Chất lượng không tốt 2. Chính sách bán hàng so với thị trường Trung Quốc giá rất cao 3. Con người Trung Quốc cái đầu lưỡi rất đáng sợ nói không đi đôi với làm. Vì vậy xe ô tô Trung Quốc tràn vào Việt Nam có ai mua đâu VD mẫu xe Wiling mới vào Việt Nam giá gần 300T tiền Việt Nam, Vf3 to hơn rộng rãi hơn quãng đường sạc đi được 210km lại có sạc nhanh, gầm cao hơn giá có 240T, tới giờ Wiling đùng đùng hạ giá có ai thèm mua đâu, một Doanh nghiệp taxi mua có 30 cái Wiling quay xe mua tới 600 cái VF3, vì vậy bên đất nước các bạn (Thái Lan) mới có kiện tập thể BYD.
@@punmatsapong4696 Vinfast is delivering 30,000 VF3 for customers in VN, not enough cars for delivering. VF8 is now selling in Canada, the USA, Germany, French. Its quality is proved as a "tank" in Vietnam. Super strong, and tough. If Vinfast available in Thailand soon. It is a weight counter against BYD. If not BYD will control your market.
Thailand needs to avoid Chinese 🇨🇳 batteries in their cars. The batteries come from the Xinjiang region, where they are produced by: - coal-fired plants and - Uyghur forced labor in their production.
Do some homework, byd no factory in XinJiang. and no force labor in XinJiang, these fake news just geopolitical smokes, go visit XinJiang by yourself, or search vlogs of XinJiang, you will find the truth.
Hi folks. I would never buy a Chinese EV (electric vehicle). I wouldn't even take it for free. I would walk in the rain rather than get into a Chinese EV. Why? I value my life. Unfortunately, a lot is not mentioned in this video. Chinese EV companies, including BYD, like to circumvent safety standards. This makes the vehicles extremely dangerous. Most of the time there are problems with the battery, which completely paralyzes the system. This causes the doors to lock and you are trapped. Unfortunately, this is no joke, they are even called rolling crematoriums. Then it takes less than 10 seconds for the car to be "fully ablaze". Why haven't you heard about this in the newspaper etc.? It's logical. China has a dictatorship that censors everything. But if you can speak a little English, you should "google" the topic. There are thousands of videos of them going up in flames. Have fun with your BYD.🤣🤣🤣🤣
it''s called US propaganda, a few instances out of millions ....teslas have explosions as well but it doesn't get pushed by the alogorithm and no "influencers" make videos to talk about it. Also tesla EV uses BYD/CATL batteries
If you paid attention to the video, you'd know that Thailand is MANUFACTURING Chinese EVS, not importing them. And if you actually knew anything about the automotive industry in South East Asia, you'd know it's to benefit from the AFTA
