Thailand's electric vehicle market has grown explosively to 515,000+ units (80% of ASEAN's total), with 7-month sales exceeding 144,000 units. However, over 60% are imports, prompting EVAT to call for tariff review to strengthen local manufacturers. Key challenges include: uneven charging infrastructure (50% concentrated in Bangkok, inadequate outside urban areas), rapid proliferation of brands (112 models from 52 brands vs. 26 models in 2021), and growing competition from Chinese manufacturers establishing production facilities in Thailand. Government 30@30 policy is attracting foreign EV producers to build factories locally, partially driven by US-China trade tensions and EU tariffs on Chinese EVs.
