according to a report by fast technology on september 15, recently, former thai prime minister pini zarusongpa said in an interview with the media:

china's electric vehicles have a high level of technology, quality that meets standards, and reasonable prices.as a result, it has almost seized the market share of electric vehicles in other countries or regions, including japanese cars, european cars, etc.

the market share of chinese electric vehicles in thailand is growing rapidly and there are not enough to sell. thai people are also very welcoming to chinese electric vehicles.

in fact, what pini zarusongpa said is true. in 2022, the sales of new energy vehicles in thailand were 67,000 units, and the sales of pure electric vehicles were 13,500 units. in 2023, the sales of electric vehicles in thailand reached 76,300 units, a seven-fold increase.

moreover, among the more than 70,000 electric vehicles, chinese brands account for about 80% of the market share, while japanese brands account for only 1%; at the same time,among the top ten most popular electric models in thailand in 2023, eight are chinese brands.

as chinese electric vehicles have demonstrated overwhelming advantages in the thai market, many domestic car companies have begun to invest in and build complete vehicle plants in thailand.
