[Bangkok = Fujikawa Taiki] The automobile exhibition “Thailand International Motor Expo” opened on the 28th in the suburbs of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, and was opened to the press. Thailand’s automobile market has continued to stagnate this year, with the future looking uncertain. 42 car brands from a total of nine countries, including Japan, China, and Korea, exhibited at the event. Chinese manufacturers are stepping up their offensive with electric vehicles (EVs) as their main focus, announcing new models one after another, attracting the attention of local media. Toyota Motor Corporation exhibited the new Camry, a mid-size hybrid sedan that was released in October.

If it grows by 40%,
does that mean your salary will also increase by 40%?

We will have tons of temporary workers and dispatched workers on the line.
Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of experienced workers from Kanagawa Prefecture,
I wonder why.

EVs are already over worldwide. Especially in cold regions like Europe, there was a lot of chaos in the winter. Basically, it was a mistake to try to develop a market for something that wasn’t even at the practical stage by inciting it with propaganda. It’s very dangerous to let even politics follow the wishes of capital.

It’s because of these human sacrifices that future generations can benefit.
They should continue to promote it without saying it’s over.
When it’s put into practical use, we can just ride it.
If they don’t, hybrids will continue to evolve.

But then Thailand suddenly turned its back on them and started praising Chinese EVs. I will never forget how they complained about Japan.

Chinese EVs are making a big leap in Thailand! Japanese cars are obsolete! It was the Japanese media and journalists who were praising them…
Within a year, the cars on the streets have completely changed! Thailand, which was once the kingdom of Japanese cars, is now overflowing with Chinese and Korean BEVs

I’ll look to buy an EV in 10 years.
Until then, I’ll enjoy the last days of pure gasoline cars with the Swift Sport MT.

Although it could replace a bicycle or moped, it has too many flaws as a car.

How much environmental damage is it to mass-produce unsellable EVs, which have a much greater environmental impact than gasoline-powered cars?

What was it? They offer great discounts, but it seems like they offer residual credit, so Chinese EVs end up being more expensive.

I was surprised to see that the Camry has had a full model change. The Japanese market has really changed.

I might consider buying an EV if the technology gets more advanced and the infrastructure gets better, and it gets cheaper, but in the current situation, I don’t know why people would buy one when the charging infrastructure is so tough in emerging countries.

The fatal flaw is that the resale value is so poor. When your living situation changes and it’s time to sell it, you’re disappointed to find it for less than half the price.

If you offer a discount like that, you can get some share.

I think if they released a pickup truck that was a size smaller at a bargain price, it would sell. The current Hilux series has grown in size and become more expensive, making it a car that cannot be handled carelessly.

All things considered, Toyota’s hybrid vehicles make sense. Even if you want to go electric, it’s tough if you can’t stop or have a lifeline in case of an emergency. In that respect, hybrid vehicles have gasoline insurance in case of electrical problems, which is a big plus from a safety perspective.
42Anonymous Donburako.Nov. 29, 2024 (Fri) 06:54:36.75ID:MLWt/JD20
This is a victory for Toyota, who pushed ahead with hybrid vehicles despite pressure from the left and the media.

The most expensive part of an EV is the battery.
In Tesla’s case, it costs about 1.5 million yen just to replace it.

So it seems like they’re just going to build a demonstration plant now.
It’ll be at least 10 years from now.
