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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

Canadians and Mexicans showing up for the job, meanwhile the new hate preachers are nowhere to be seen
Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire.

California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.
