    • The Government of Thailand has stated that by 2025, 30% of all cars produced in Thailand should be EVs and this will be effective from Jan 1 2022.
    • Thailand Board Of Investments(BOI) has been improving the EV industries recently and they are planning to expand the BEV and Two-wheeler Market.
    • In order to increase the market competitiveness, they have proposed an increased tax rate of 0% from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2022 and 2% from 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2025 and it also states that the electric-powered passenger vehicle should not exceed 10 seats which are promoted by the BOI.
    • In 2022, Thailand is aiming for EVs to make up to 4% of their total market or to produce 30,000 units and they are on the verge of achieving 4,00,000 units by 2030.
    •  Thailand also has made bilateral trade agreements with the countries like China, Japan and South Korea that cut the import of EVs to 0%, 20% and 40% respectively.

     

    As discussed earlier Thailand lands in the category of developing nation, the country is still growing and attaining different SPGs (Sustainable development goal). The electric vehicle market in Thailand is still at slow pace although the hybrid electric vehicle launched in 2010.

     

    According to the Land Transport Department, in 2017 there are almost 102, 408 registered Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles whereas 1394 battery electric vehicles are registered shows that the people are not familiar or not interested in shifting from conventional technology transportation systems. However Thailand Board of Investment has encouraged the manufacture in this segment, commercial EVs are expected to launch by 2025.

     

    Thailand Automotive industry has the maximum influence of foreign countries like Japan, China, America, etc.

     

    The Thailand’s Ministry of Energy, Energy Policy and Planning Office has forecasted that purchase of electric vehicles (EV) in Thailand will rise from 9,000 in 2018 to 406,000 in 2028 and 1.2 million in 2036 with 690 charging stations all over its territory.

     

    Thailand based companies like Mine Mobility have already launched 3 prototypes from their independent R&D team with the tag as MISSION NO EMISSION.

     

    As we all are aware that conventional type engines have their emission standard, safety standards, size classification, Customer Standards, etc.. but when we look into electric vehicles there are no such standards set up for union talk between the countries that as well affect the performance and manufacturing cost of other hidden problems in this sector.

     

    Thailand has increased incentives to encourage the use of electric cars (EVs), according to the investment promotion agency, as the country seeks to maintain its position as a key Southeast Asian auto manufacturing base.

     

    Smaller charging stations will now be eligible for three-year tax savings, on top of the five-year business income tax exemption offered for charging stations with at least 40 chargers.

     

    A requirement for ISO certification and a provision prohibiting investors from gaining further benefits from other authorities have also been eliminated.

     

    Thailand is encouraging people to switch to electric vehicles, with the goal of having 30 percent of total car production be electric vehicles.

     

    Great Wall Motor, a Chinese automaker, has reached an agreement with Thailand’s government to lower the retail costs of its electric vehicles, in an effort to promote domestic EV sales and production.

     

    The arrangement includes a government subsidy as well as a reduction in VAT. This is really advantageous for our consumer because the pricing is lower.

     

    A similar arrangement was also reached with SAIC-CP Motor, the Thai subsidiary of SAIC Motor Corp. Thailand is attempting to incentivize the usage of electric vehicles in order to maintain its standing as a key regional carmaker.

     

    People who buy ICE will feel it is more expensive as oil prices rise, adding that EVs will help clean the air, which Thailand’s capital has suffered with.

     

    In Thailand, BYD is expanding its factory for electric vehicles. The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) in Thailand is home to the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer’s plant, which is scheduled to open in 2024 and have a production capacity of 150,000 electric vehicles per year.

     

    As it increases its operations in Southeast Asia, Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Neta Automobile is delivering thousands of EVs to Thailand. With a foothold in ASEAN, South Asia, and the Middle East markets, Neta has formed a European division, a Thai subsidiary, and introduced three international models, including the Neta U global version, Neta V global version, and Neta V right-hand drive version. 

     

    Another significant step in Thailand’s extraordinary transformation from a traditional automaking hub to a leader in the region for the production of electric vehicles (EVs) will be marked by the construction of a completely electric Mercedes-EQS in Bangkok.

     

    In addition to choosing Thailand as the first location in Southeast Asia to build the ground-breaking EQS, the German luxury automaker also chose the country as one of only seven in the world to make the high-performance lithium-ion batteries that allow the car to travel more than 700 kilometres on a single charge.

    IMPACT OF COVID ON THAILAND ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET

     

    As we are familiar that the main step of the automotive industry is the production stage, for this process the companies set up their plant nearby raw material, ancillary units, low labor cost, high technological area, etc.

     

    But due to COVID the world has faced a situation similar to Spanish flu in 1919 and experienced the lockdown all over the world. These halt the production, distribution of semi-finished, raw material, manpower essential for the production of vehicles.

     

    Automotive industry has experienced huge losses that will take time to recover. After a lockdown small businesses that might supply the part essential for the completion of vehicles has affected because they are either in huge debt or being bankrupt.

     

    RECENT LAUNCH

     

    Tesla Inc. introduced two electric vehicle (EV) models in Thailand, marking its entry into the market that has long been dominated by Japanese automakers.The introduction of two EVs coincides with Thailand’s push for EV manufacturing and adoption through tax breaks and subsidies.

     

    Launched by BYD in collaboration with Rever Automotive is the BYD Dolphin hatchback. The adoption of EVs in Thailand will undoubtedly accelerate with the availability of a superb EV at a price that is nearly equal to that of well-known, well-liked ICE vehicles.

     

    With a 180 Nm electric motor and a 44.9 kWh Blade Battery, the Dolphin being sold in Thailand offers a 410 km NEDC range. It features vehicle-to-load capabilities, AC charging up to 7 kW, and DC charging up to 60 kW. The Dolphin will join the ATTO 3, which was already introduced in Thailand and has more than 10,000 registered ATTO 3 electric vehicles.

     

    THAILAND ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

     

    The Electric Vehicle market in Thailand is US $ XX Billion in the year 2022 and expected to grow at the CAGR of XX% by 2030. As Thailand is amongst the developing nations, local players or startups have yet to emerge to rationalize the market and provide the proper competition and exact requirement of locals to fulfill their needs.

     

    Some companies like Scoota, Electric Vehicles Thailand, Concordia, etc.. came up in the market as rental services, commercial electric vehicle manufacturer, manufacturer and supplier of battery operated vehicles respectively.

     

    The Government of Thailand is also aimed to increase the percentage of sales in Electric vehicles as it is observed that in the year 2010 Land Transport Department registration of hybrid electric vehicles was almost 84000 units whereas the battery electric vehicles registered was in two digits only. But in 2017 as data show above there is a huge gap.
