Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are becoming more popular with Thai motorists, beating other types of EVs that were previously thought to be better suited to the Thai market as concerns over charging facilities ease, says the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
From January to October this year, the number of newly registered plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs), which are powered by both electricity and oil, increased by 65.3% year-on-year to 9,691, compared with BEVs that skyrocketed by 231% to 15,258 from the same period in 2021, said the FTI, citing figures from the Department of Land Transport.
