Call for new stimulus for EV salesVisitors pack the Impact Challenger Hall to examine new car models during the 12-day Thailand International Motor Expo last year, which played a key role in driving BEV sales. EVAT believes such steps will encourage more consumers to purchase BEVs and PHEVs, driving up car sales, he said. Hyundai expects Thailand's domestic car sales to reach 620,000 units in 2026, covering both ICE-powered vehicles and BEVs. Globally, BEV sales tallied 20 million units in 2025, driven largely by Chinese brands. Regionally, Thailand has emerged as a leader in EV adoption, with BEVs accounting for 21% of new passenger car sales in 2025.
