EVs sales grow despite downbeat market
Bangkok Post
|September 17, 2025
The Thai electric vehicle sector continues to grow, driven by higher sales and exports of locally made EVs, though the overall auto market remains stagnant, says the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
From January to July, passenger battery EVs (BEVs) comprised 18% of total car sales in the domestic market, approaching oil-fuelled pickups, which claimed a 24% market share, followed by internal combustion engine-powered passenger cars (23%) and hybrid EVs (20%).
BEV sales soared by nearly 57% year-on-year during the seven-month period, while plugin hybrid EV sales skyrocketed by 316%. Total sales of all types of cars fell by 0.74% to 351,796 units for the period due to buyers' difficulties accessing auto loans amid the country's high level of household debt.
