"EV car"

Thirty per cent of all vehicles made in Thailand will be electric by 2030, according to a three-phase development plan for the electric vehicle (EV) industry unveiled on Thursday.

The Energy Ministry plans to have up to 1.2 million electric vehicles plying the roads by 2030 and is laying the foundation for infrastructure and battery development.

Disruptive technology has affected the electricity business and the automobile industry, causing the government and private sector to enhance performance in order to maintain the country’s competitiveness and production base to export cars in the region.
