EV bookings at record levels
Bangkok Post
|December 12, 2025
Electric vehicles (EVs) stole the spotlight at the 42nd Thailand International Motor Expo, pushing total car bookings to record levels and underscoring their growing foothold in the domestic market.
Organisers reported that bookings during the 12-day event, which concluded yesterday, surged to 75,246 units, up from 54,513 units last year. Including motorcycles, total vehicle reservations reached 80,599 units, compared with 62,495 units in 2024.
Industry analysts attributed the surge to aggressive price competition among manufacturers and the government's EV3.0 incentive scheme, which is set to expire soon.
