Thats not evidence, evidence needs to come from an offical source and as you know The numbers I provided was every vehicle that is required to register with the DLT including electric motor cycles The stats provided by @ExpatOilWorker only represent a single category of type of road vehicle and that is category R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people and as aa result are not a true representation of all ICE vehicles registered with the DLT

On this forum you need to backup your numbers with hard evidence or you will be accused of publiishing fake news

% are always used when people are embarrassed to state numbers are they are meaninless if the base number is not included Base number 1 500% increase total number 6 Base nuumber 10 500% increase total number 60 Base number 100 500% increase total number 600 Base number 1000 500 increase total number 6,000

What you have posted is misleading and incorrect and doesn't support figures release by the DLT % are meaninless Auto Brands are mainly focused on number of vehicles sold and how did we do compared against our competition July 1st 2024 EV sales continue to drop driven by tight economic conditions 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

Unlikely to see them everywhere in mass numbers compared to the 44,508,478 ICE vehicles on the road Haven't seen any of the EV supporters mention climate change their posts are mainly focused on performance and the 0-100 kph such as 3.8

Thanks you might find this article is an interesting read In this article, we apply Everett Rogers’ theory, Diffusion of Innovations, to electric car innovations in order to understand some of the characteristics of current early adopters of electric vehicles. In our examination of the EV adoption curve, we find five segments of adopter groups: Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, and Laggards. https://www.exro.com/industry-insights/early-adopters-of-electric-vehicles-the-ev-adoption-curve Diffusion of Innovation Theory https://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/mph-modules/sb/behavioralchangetheories/behavioralchangetheories4.html EV adoption curve has to include all vehicles on the road otherwise EV's will never be considered mass market if the majority of vehicles on the road are ICE

meaningless to you maybe but I am sure there are other forum members who are interested in the different types of DLT types of vehicle categories and the numbers of ICE/EV registrations for each group Here are the vehicle categories and they all have either ICE or EV vehicles R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people R.Y. 2 Private passenger cars with more than 7 people R.Y. 3 Personal trucks R.Y. 4 personal three-wheeled vehicle R.Y. 6 Vehicles for hire carrying no more than 7 passengers.

My numbers aren't fudge as they are available on the DLT website for everyone to view And why don't we include all vehicle categories as I did for both ICE and EV's

The numbers I provided was every vehicle that is required to register with the DLT including electric motor cycles The stats provided by @ExpatOilWorker only represent a single category of type of road vehicle and that is category R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people and as aa result are not a true representation of all ICE vehicles registered with the DLT As you yourself stated numbers don't lie

February 2024 Total number of registrations 208,918 including 6,248 EV’s March 2024 Total number of registrations 214,311 including 7,368 EV’s April 2024 Total number of registrations 181,314 including 5,969 EV’s May 2024 Total number of registrations 227,170 including 7,963 EV’s June 2024 Total number of registrations 211,518 including 7,901 EV’s Total number of registrations for period 1st February 2024 to 30th June 2024 for all vehicles 1,043,231 within this number is 35,449 EV’s Total number of registrations for ICE 1,007,782 Total number of registrations for EV’s 35,449 Market Share of EV’s for Total registrations for this period is 3.5% https://web.dlt.go.th/statistics/

Of EV including motorcycles that BMW sold in the same period of 2023 which must have been 678 EV including motorcyles to get to their 40% increase of 950 BMW and Mini cars, as well as motorcycles under the BMW Motorrad brand, are sold in Thailand. Between January and June, BMW Group Thailand saw an over 40% surge in EV sales, with 950 EVs registered during this six-month period.

As I stated you were lucky to sell when you did before MG reduced the price by B100,000 which has a knock on effect with resale values and increases depreciation MG EP Plus was launched November 2021 priced at 998,000 baht Current price is B671,000 which is a 32.7% reduction in price or B327,000

Listing a Car on Guy Fawkes Day 5th November 2023 priced at B699,000 or nearest offer and then listing again on January 21st 2024 at a reduced price of B599,000 and finally selling 30th January 2024 doesn't sound like there was many buyers biting at the B699,000 price November 5th 2023 B699,000 Lucklly it was sold before MG reduced the new price to B671,000

but in real numbers Majority of cars sold this year were ICE vehicles hundred of thousands compared to 24K EV's

Overall maybe 10-11% of the new vehicles purchased still leaves ICE with 89-90% share

Rubbish More ICE vehicles were sold in the last 5 months compared to EV as previously stated if you have 100% market share there is only one way to go

And still very small numbers compared to ICE vehicles
