The arrival of the officially released Toyota Camry Hybrid is a new era for the Thai driving in two ways. Firstly, because it is the first domestic hybrid mounted, by which the tax which opens up the first hybrid on the market. Secondly, the successful lobbying of government taxes on hybrid components to a new low.
A petrol / electric hybrid car is a car that runs largely on a gasoline engine, just like a normal machine but it is automatically actuated by an electric motor powered by a battery with an integrated generator supported in this engine or the brake when you enter the accelerator.
Gasoline / electric hybrid in Japan and in Western markets are superior to those of the conventional engine in the same price class but a financially sound investment in the long term, not only saves on fuel but you pay much less vehicles / road / corporate taxes for emissions of carbon dioxide or being “Green”
Green or Clean Car Discounts are also offered by many governments as an incentive for individuals and businesses that are third less carbon dioxide to help meet that produce the country's ratification of a number of regional treaties on emissions.
However, The Thai authorities offer financial benefits to consumers above the jump. The costs of registration and annual circulation tax are exactly the same as a hybrid because they are for a gasoline engine. The government must include all taxes can shake us and we are determined to cars because (public transport including some reluctance to pay taxes the money every year, we funded the purchase) is terribly inefficient.
It can be argued that the government has generously done little or no import duties on most items required for the assembly of hybrid vehicles, and benefits of these savings will be passed on to consumers in the form of lower prices.
Moan enough for today, we see the advantages and disadvantages of using a hybrid now.
BATTERY COSTS
As good as the first and most disturbing question from a potential buyer will ask when considering a hybrid car are the costs to replace the battery at the end of his life.
In a not so distant past, a hybrid vehicle battery (for example, a product imported from gray to a Toyota Prius) costs up to 300,000 baht or more.
The average size Toyota Camry Hybrid is the essence of the first locally assembled in Thailand / electric hybrid car.
SOUND LIKE A RIP-OFF?
Not really, since buyers of imports of gray are still very good and these issues are rather ridiculous, to put the light of a new car tag price is extremely high (with high tariffs on imports and large profit margins fat ) based in part offset by lower fuel costs in the long term.
But to understand the point these days is that the price per unit of battery capacity the fall as your phone.
And the batteries of hybrid cars are no different from those of your phone because each unit consists of a stack of small cells.
The phone now uses thinner and lighter lithium-ion power than nickel-metal hydride or nickel-cadmium (long in the United States and the European Union)are due for 10 years or so.
But almost all hybrids today use nickel-metal hydrides which are associated with the widespread use of lithium-ion just around the corner from the rapid development of the car and battery manufacturers.
Typically, a hybrid car battery is designed or even guaranteed to drive the last 10 years or 160,000 km, it is understood that the vehicle owner must be replaced, the battery before it rids the car.
So even if you need to replace the battery while the car is still drivable is the price of the battery up to 90% from the day the car was bought fresh.
Thus, the cost of the battery is not really a problem.
BATTERY AND POWERTRAIN SAFELY
Plug-in battery-electric compact car like this piece of Nissan showroom soon in the world. Some Formula One fans who have heard of a race engineer during the last year might be involved in a vehicle with a big shock with a battery inside you and your family trip, but this is a race car is being developed and there was nothing of the use of devices like the larger unit yield of hybrid and electric cars all over the world.
Rescuers were instructed to follow the same procedures as conventional gasoline-powered car engine is switched off completely.
A ratio of consumption in the United States, also the states that had already been found no evidence that hybrid cars are more or less dangerous than conventionally powered vehicles in an accident.
FLOOD SOLVENCY
Compact Import Gray Honda Insight hybrid will cost too much be financially sound. Mass production of hybrid cars at least the same standards as conventional cars Ford powers floods and are not allowed leaving their factories where such standards are met.
Informally, a hybrid car from a performance that suggested former electrical components hybrids much better sealed from the elements of a gasoline engine and integrated with an arrest, when a short circuit and leakage due to accident damage.
Manufacturers of hybrid cars are aware of the need, electrical components with zero tolerance for electrical hazards to people. If you browse the foul flooding in Thailand, you should check carefully to their hybrids which after driving with a flood as a normal car.
