Used ICE car prices have been affected by the domino effect multiple issues the primary issue is oversupply of used cheap car stock During 2023-2024, the used car market in Thailand faced significant challenges. In 2023, the number of cars seized by financial institutions was approximately 250,000-300,000 units, almost double from the previous year (150,000-180,000 units). All seized cars were sent to auction lots. In 2023, there were almost 300,000 cars entering auction lots, resulting in an oversupply of used cars. Used car operators had to lower the selling price. Some dealerships may have to accept a loss in order to maintain the liquidity of the business. https://mgronline.com/motoring/detail/9670000063452 Now when a private buyer or tent sells a car they aim to sell it for as close to what they believe the car is worth and majority will wait for the right price The cars seized by financial institutions put up at auction also aim to get the highest amount possible for the car but if they will accept any offer rather than withdraw it from the auction sale and relist the car The financial institutions know if the auction sale doesn't cover the finance balance they will go after the original buyer or the buyer guarantor to recover the balance from what ever assets they own With Used EV's at the moment both tents and financial institutions are giving EV's a wide berth due to the fluctuating prices and unable to determine the value of the EV When new prices of EV's drop in price by between B100K - B340K if you bought a used car before the price reduction impossible to sell without taking a major hit as no-one is going to buy at pre price reduction price I did see last of the Neta V 1 for sale at B399k

January 2024 registrations figures are a result of EV 3.0 subsidy ended 31st December 2023 as the DLT point out in this article Data from the Department of Land Transport indicate that the EV market has not been particularly strong since the beginning of the year. January recorded the highest number of registrations for the year at 13,321 units, driven partly by a rush to register before the January 31 deadline to qualify for benefits under the EV promotion plan, EV 3.0, which offers a 2% excise tax and a subsidy of up to 150,000 baht. This rush led to a sharp decline in registrations the following months. If the cumulative total for the first five months is extrapolated for the entire year, EV sales are expected to be close to 76,000 units, considerably lower than the overall projection of between 100,000 to 130,000 units. https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/business/automobile/40039276

What they stated is correct Japan urges ASEAN to prioritise hybrids over EVs for sustainability During the Economic Security and Supply Chains seminar, Yasuyuki Todo from the Faculty of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University cautioned ASEAN about over-relying on the electric vehicle (EV) industry. He pointed out that since Asean mainly depends on fossil fuels for energy production, EVs still indirectly consume non-renewable resources. Todo suggested that ASEAN countries, including Thailand, should prioritise hybrid cars over EVs as a more practical solution for reducing carbon emissions. He remarked that Thailand is ready to advance beyond being a hub for car manufacturers and should instead focus on research and development. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/japan-urges-asean-to-prioritise-hybrids-over-evs-for-sustainability

I think your losing it questioning your own posts

You really are showing yourself to be a complete moron Since before EV's became available they ICE vehicles had 100% market share now that EV's are available the ICE market share is slowly being reduced by purchase of EV's but not in the numbers you hoping for

Anyone interested in real numbers should ignore the % pedalled by JB numbers can be verified from the DLT website https://web.dlt.go.th/statistics/ for R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people Total number of cars registered March 2024 45,315 which includes 4,720 EV's Total number of cars registered April 2024 38,022 which includes 4007 EV's Total number of cars registered May 2024 43,196 which includes 5,270 EV's

You must be smoking the same stuff as JB for R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people Total number of cars registered March 2024 45,315 which includes 4,720 EV's Total number of cars registered April 2024 38,022 which includes 4007 EV's Total number of cars registered May 2024 43,196 which includes 5,270 EV's The EV market share of 30% in March is a total figment of anyone's imagination
