The National Electric Vehicle Policy Committee of Thailand is considering setting a new electric vehicle (EV) production target, with EVs making up half of all car manufacturing by 2030.

Energy Ministry Permanent Secretary Kulit Sombatsiri said the government will discuss the new EV target with state agencies and car manufacturers within this month.



The new target has been pushed by major automakers in Thailand, while state agencies and power companies are trying to relieve concerns over an insufficient number of EV charging facilities and prolonged charging times.
