The Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT) promotes electric vehicle (EV) usage to reduce air pollution and improve energy efficiency. Recent government incentives and rising demand have led to significant growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales and registrations in Thailand, making it a market leader in ASEAN. Future targets aim for substantial increases in zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) by 2035, supported by investments and further subsidies for domestic production.

9. Thai Automotive Production, Domestic Sales & Exports Proportion.
• According to the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), total automobiles production in Thailand stood
at 1.84 million cars in 2023, reflecting a 2.22% decline from the previous year.
• This drop was primarily attributed to a decrease in the production of pickup trucks, a key vehicle
in Thailand’s automotive industry. The decline in output was linked to banks tightening loans for
this particular group of commercial vehicles.
• In 2022, Thailand’s total auto output made the country the 11th largest producer worldwide and
1st in the ASEAN.

13. Charging Stations Ratio in Thailand vs. Global Overall
EV (BEV + PHEV) Ratio to AC & DC Public Chargers at 15:1
And BEV ratio to DC public Chargers at 20:1 in Thailand.
• According to International Energy
Agency (IEA), the global average
in 2022 was about 10 EVs per
charger.
• Countries such as China and the
Netherlands have maintained
fewer than 10 EVs per charger
throughout past years.
• Another important aspect in
addition to the number of public
chargers is the total public
charging power capacity per EV,
given that fast chargers can serve
more EVs than slow chargers.
• Globally, the average public
charging power capacity is around
2.4 kW per EV.
• In the European Union, the ratio is
lower, with an average around
1.2 kW per EV.

• Within 3 years after
the starting date of
electric car
manufacture: 3 key
parts (Traction Motor,
DCU, BMS) must be
locally sourced.
The recent EV 3.5 incentive requires a stronger commitment to manufacturing
components for both CKD and EV parts due to a stricter CBU:CKD ratio.

THB/KWH depending on
energy density and scale
of production.
▶ Subsidy provided up to 4
years.
▶ Excise tax rate reduction
for locally produced
battery from 8% to 1%.
