Title "Time to save [money] is almost up? Battery failing, warranty expired, and a bill for 270,000 baht? What happened? #byd #electricvehicle #ev"
It's correct that the time to save money is really ended when you need to replace battery pack. Because battery pack can't be cheap and can't be life long as gas tank.
We still hope things will get better in the future, but there's no way battery pack will be better than a gas tank unless there's a near-total global oil shortage.
The 2026 fuel shortage is a result of 2026 Persian war. The False Trumpet, one of the starters of the wars, is therefore being parodied as the best EV salesman ever.
News about Chinese EV craps' warranty expiring prematurely due to high mileage drives (or EVs used for hire, similar to taxis, that makes warranty void too) and then battery or motor failures happened, continues to surface in Thailand.
There usually are insane REPLACE costs at an official dealership (service center).
And if the repair cost is cheap, there is nothing exciting enough to become a news.
Comments keep saying "EVs are disposable", "EVs are craps". Even US politicians said Chinese EVs are CANCER.
This highlights the lack of durability and short lifespan of current EVs, making them unsuitable for so many mileage driving (such as hundred thousands of kilometres per year) compared to the internal combustion engine cars.
This kind of dramatic news seems to be good for anti-EV people only.
True EV users/fans are having solutions.
If dealership offers insane REPLACE prices, you can reject them, then take the broken EV to specialized EV shops or specialized EV battery pack repair shops. If inspection reveals that specific part(s) can be repaired or replaced (no need to have full motor/battery pack replaces) the cost will be significantly lower.
หากศูนย์เสนอราคาเปลี่ยนที่สูงมาก คุณยังสามารถปฏิเสธได้ คุณนำอีวีที่เสียไปที่ร้านซ่อมอีวี หากเขาเช็กแล้วพบว่า สามารถซ่อมได้ หรือสามารถเปลี่ยนเพียงบางชิ้นส่วนย่อยได้ (หมายถึง ไม่ต้องเปลี่ยนมอเตอร์ทั้งตัว ไม่ต้องเปลี่ยนแบตเตอรี่แพ็กทั้งลำ) ค่าใช้จ่ายน่าจะต่ำลงอย่างมาก
However, the bad news is that in some areas there are no dedicated EV repair shops (or there may be car garages that can fix EV but people don't know about it much), such as in the Uttaradit area. But things may improve in the future, with more garages offering EV services.
