Lay Pang Beach: This is one of our favorite beaches as it is easy to access. Since I was a child, no matter what season it is in the morning or evening, Lay Phang Beach still has a unique atmosphere at any time of the day. And because this Beach is close to the charging point in Laguna Phuket that we visited, you can just come by and chill at one of the chic beachfront bars during sunset, just 3 minutes away from the charging station.ย

We can stop by the roadside or find our favorite restaurant on the Beach, either street food, a re-known outlet, or even the Michelin guide restaurant for a romantic meal; there are plenty of options.
Phuket Town During this time, there are a lot of tourists with a vibrant atmosphere and weather. In addition to the old Phuket town. Phang Nga Road is another spot that should not be missed. We love this road during the day and at night. With local restaurants, international cuisine, dessert shops, stylish coffee shops, and most importantly, a museum and many excellent art galleries by local artists are available. Find a parking space and then go for a leisurely stroll; Phang-Nga road is a worth-visiting spot for art and gastronomy discoverers.
About AC and DC charging options;
The electricity that many Acquaintances are divided into two main categories.
1. Alternating Current (AC – Alternating Current) is the utilities’ infrastructure electricity. AC charging will run through the On-Board Charger inside the electric vehicle. To convert the power from alternating to direct current and then charge the car battery.
AC chargers are divided into 2 types:
โข AC Type 1, which has a voltage of 250 volts
โข AC Type 2 can be further divided into 2 types which are 1 Phase which has a voltage of 250 Volts and 3 Phase which has a voltage of 480 Volts.
All types of AC chargers take 4-15 hours to charge, depending on the size of the battery.
2. Direct current (DC – Direct Current) charges direct current directly into the battery in the car without having to go through the On-Board Charger; suitable for quick charging, fast charging takes less time than AC charging
DC chargers are divided into 2 types:
โข DC CHAdeMO with a voltage of 600 V
โข DC Combined Charging System can be divided into 2 types: CCS Type 1 which has a voltage of 600 volts, and CCS Type 2 which has a voltage of 1,000 volts.
All DC chargers take 40-60 minutes, depending on the size of the battery.
Charging Fee:
The average price starts at 4.50 baht/kWh and in some applications, there will be on-peak / off-peak fees applied. Some applications will charge per hour depending on the application. Currently, there are about 5 applications in Phuket to choose from.
And if it’s a Benz charging point, it would be complimentary for Benz users.
Remarks:
- The EV Charger cabinet (electric vehicle charger) will have both AC and DC types.
- The type of charger will depend on the car manufacturer’s design
