First day in China and getting pickup up in a Li Auto L9. Could have done worse.

MG EP Plus reduced to $14,500 in Thailand. Crazy good value for money.

Here is one for @reckless.bsky.social

New car doesn't come with a tow hitch but i found a spare part dealer in China who is selling me a custom one off assembly made to my specs at no extra cost. Try that with a Euro car part dealer, they would laugh in your face.

C-segment Crossover SUV sales for first quater in Thailand is pretty much all EVs now lol.

Really cool little nugget

Does more intelligence spending count as well? Feels like we can do a much better job uncovering missinformation networks and secret payment flows.

Ordered a Zeekr 7X AWD in green. Estimated to be delievered in October.

VIVNE-Nissan leaf 62kWh battery upgrade YouTube video by VIVNE-Cora Liu

A modern EV will never need a new battery during its lifetime but it's cool to see those old Nissan Leafs getting a battery swapped and 545km claimed new range. Would love to do that with an original BMW i3.

Volvo teases all-new XC70 PHEV with 125 miles of electric range for 2026 Volvo has teased an all-new XC70 plug-in hybrid crossover with 400 hp and 200 km (approx. 125 miles) of all-electric range.

Volvo rather builds a whole new PHEV car than building a BEV version of their best selling XC60. No surprise the CEO got booted.

Yup on all levels, the ET9 reviews are bonkers

Difference between German and Chinese EVs:

Germany: Want heated seats for your $107k Porsche Macan EV? That will be $600

China: Here are some hot stone massage seats included in your Nio ET9

How did you not mention that German TikToker who upset a whole nation with his Bluetooth party speaker?

Merz rejected, Maybe nominating the least popular candiate wasn't such a great idea.

haha

Zeekr 7X in mild camo and manufacturer plates in Bangkok. Not sure why the camo when it's already presented to the public lol.

Jetzt seid ihr sicherlich auf der Liste :)

Don’t see a Hyptec SSR every day

Bangkok Motorshow sales 2024 vs 2025, BYD now best selling brand. No breakout EV vs. non-EV but it should be about 50/50 now.
This is biased towards Bangkok and not all of Thailand but the trend is obvious.

World premier of the Zeekr 7X RHD tomorrow in Bangkok

BYD is bringing their floaty car to the car show in Bangkok this week

If you still think China only comes for the low end of the market this might change your mind.

Zeekr reveals G-Pilot system with advanced automated evasion system YouTube video by CarNewsChina

Zeekr demoing their new LiDAR based high speed obstacle avoidance system is a bit of a contrast to the Rober video

So BYD's "trick" to get to 5 min charging is to split the whole battery pack in two with two seperate chargers but they still need their cells to be 10c. Or what am i missing?

BYD is hgoing to sell a unibody EV truck soon so let's see how this goes

Two things i didn't see coming in the Thai EV space:
1) huge success of EV MPVs, Denda D9 even outsold the Toyota Alphard of a bit
2) almost zero interest in EV pickup trucks. Geely has issue to sell any decent numbers eben though they are priced really agressively
