Thailand, long regarded as Southeast Asia's automotive manufacturing powerhouse, is undergoing a historic transformation. In 2025, Thailand's government has rolled out a bold package of new electric vehicle (EV) policies designed to rapidly shift the country away from fossil fuel cars towards sustainable electric mobility.
