Electric vehicles are picking up at a rapid pace in Asia and Europe. More and more people are making the shift from either driving cars or taking public transport on a daily basis, to riding lightweight e-bikes and electric scooters. While a lot of new models still come from China, there are several startups adamant on manufacturing domestically.
A good example of this is Strom from Thailand. Considered as Thailand’s foremost leader in EV technology, Strom has been producing a range of small-capacity commuters designed for urban use. The company’s subsidiary, Oska Battery Group, also developed EV batteries, as well as batteries for consumer IT products, electronics, golf carts, and military and industrial applications. With almost 27 years of experience under its belt, Strom is eyeing expansion, and has recently announced a new factory to ramp up production in its home country of Thailand.
