he was refering to global share of market Akio Toyoda, Toyota's chairman, has publicly stated that he believes battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will never exceed 30% of the global automotive market share. He argues that factors like limited access to electricity in some regions, the cost of EVs, and the need for charging infrastructure make it unlikely that they will dominate the market As for why, Toyoda points to around a billion people in the world who live without access to electricity, for whom he says it doesn’t make sense to limit their choices and ability to travel with expensive BEVs. https://www.teslarati.com/toyota-evs-30-percent-market-share/

If we use Thailand as an example numbers of European built cars or American cars are on the roads in limited numbers due to Not many importers willing to import cars to Thailand due to excessive tariffs and taxes and not many customers willing to pay excessive price compared to a similar vehicle with no tariffs and taxes 757,654 new vehicles were exported from the EU to the US in 2024 I would expect that number to decrease with a 32.5% tariff especially for the medium range of cars -

Consumer council to file class-action suit against NETA Auto The Thailand Consumers Council (TCC) has agreed to file a class action lawsuit, on behalf of their customers, against NETA Auto (Thailand) Company Limited, the sole distributer of Chinese-made NETA EVs in Thailand. Buyers of NETA electric cars have experienced numerous problems after the manufacturer filed for bankruptcy protection. For instance, NETA Auto (Thailand) has been late in the delivery of car registration plates to their customers and in the replacement of conversion and distribution units (CDU) for cars under repair, as well as settlements of claims for compensation during the warranty period of the CDUs, forcing a number of customers to dig into their pockets to buy the kits themselves. https://world.thaipbs.or.th/detail/consumer-council-to-file-classaction-suit-against-neta-auto/58125 -

Shandong Qiancheng Holdings Co., Ltd. (山东乾城控股有限公司), BYD‘s core dealer network in Shandong province, has been experiencing a severe operational crisis since April 2025. More than twenty “Qian”-branded 4S dealerships across the province have abruptly closed or suspended operations, leaving showrooms empty and customers without service. The once-prestigious Jinan Qiansheng store, previously celebrated as “Greater China’s No.1 flagship store of BYD, ” is among the affected dealerships. It now stands virtually empty, with only two staff members remaining on site. According to public records, Qiancheng was founded in 2014 and rapidly became BYD’s core strategic partner in Shandong. The group operated over 20 BYD dealerships and showrooms across the region, once claiming annual sales of 3 billion yuan (420 million USD) and employing more than 1,200 staff. In April 2024, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu visited the Qiancheng Group in Jinan, which was widely interpreted as the highest recognition of their status as a core dealer. However, financial troubles were already brewing beneath the surface. https://carnewschina.com/2025/05/29/major-byd-dealer-network-collapses-in-eastern-china/
