It just came to my mind. There is a Thai company named NEX point, who's converting regular pickups and busses to EVs. You might want have a look. They are reasonably priced. From the exterior look I'd say the pick up base is a Nissan Navara
My personal choice would be Honda City Hatchback in top trim. It has a small but powerful and economic engine with hybrid system and good driver assistance systems. I also very much like the hatchback style
To my knowledge, plug in hybrids are limited to luxury sedans and SUVs.
What's your budget? If you want a mild hybrid with electric motor as gimmick, I'd go for Honda or Toyota models.
For those of you that use Facebook, there is a guy that reviewed his experience and costs driving over 200,000 Kms with his BYD Atto 3.

Most manufacturers give you 8 years (some extended infinitely) warranty on the car except consumables such as air filter, tyres and brakes. How many people are driving a car longer than 8 years? Our finance goes for five years. We plan to buy another new car after that
Short update:
Everything went well, more or less.
The officer at DMK wanted to see my return ticket.
At the second entry at BKK (with TDAC) no questions asked at all. Stamp and that was it. Probably one of the shortest processing times at all 😊
