Thailand’s government has announced plans to adjust its tax structure, imposing higher duties on imported electric vehicles compared to domestically produced models. The move aims to bolster local manufacturing while addressing concerns over rising EV imports that could undermine domestic industry growth. Automakers with production facilities in the country may see reduced tax burdens, incentivizing further investment in local assembly lines. Critics argue the policy could raise costs for consumers seeking foreign-made EVs, potentially limiting market competition.
