The extension allows them to buy new EVs by December 31 and register before January 31, 2024 to benefit from the Thailand International Motor Expo in December, https://www.nationthailand.com/business/automobile/40032479 so the final purchase date to qualify for EV 3.0 subsidy was 31st December 2023 and register before January 31, 2024

Toyota UK and its sister company Lexus UK , offers the best car warranty policy. Here’s how it works: like most other manufacturers, the basic cover you get is limited to three years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first. However. Every time you have your car serviced according to schedule at a Toyota main dealer, your warranty cover is automatically extended for another year or 10,000 miles, up to a maximum of 10 years or 100,000 miles. https://www.cargurus.co.uk/Cars/articles/best-car-warranties-uk

The Government wants high reservations numbers at the Motor show as it shows a reflection of the current economy and they believe that investors will invest more if the reservations numbers at the Motor show are High However there are other sections of the Government that want those high reservations numbers only to be converted into registrations if the buyers can afford it and currently don't have a high outstanding household debt I think the BYD reservations numbers were accurate as they stated before the motor show started they had a stock of 7,000 2023 models and the final numbers were approx 5,000 reservations reservations deposits were between B1,000-B10,000 I expect that the 53,438 total motor show reservations which include 17,517 ev registrations will be reduced by 50% over the registrations months of May for end of March motor show reservations and June registrations for April motor show reservations assuming that the vehicles with the exception of BYD 2023 models weren't in stock at the time of the reservation https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=814645387366565&id=100064633334264&set=a.513637977467309

I Agree Poor Reporting as they don't know the difference between sales and registrations There are no tracking of sales Indeed, January 2024 began well. EV sales for the month came to 13,653 new cars. In turn, this was 20.5% of what was already a depressed car market this year in Thailand. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/04/26/sales-of-ev-cars-fell-in-thailand-in-february-and-march-2024/ January figures of 13,653 registrations are December 2023 sales BYD report sales of 37,000 for the whole of 2023 however if you exclude December sales that figure drops to 29,000
