Thailand has attracted over $4.1 billion in investment commitments for electric vehicle (EV) supply chain projects, positioning itself as a key automotive manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia. The investments span 198 projects across battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrids, battery manufacturing, critical components, and charging infrastructure. The country’s diversified approach includes support for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), and BEVs, unlike some regional competitors focused solely on pure EVs. As global automakers shift supply chains away from geopolitical tensions, Thailand aims to integrate deeply into the EV value chain, with electrified vehicles accounting for over 40% of new registrations in 2025.
