August 2023 In the beginning, EV buyers were high-purchasing power buyers, resulting in easy approval for EV buyers in the beginning. However, the group has now expanded to include combustion engine users in the energy-saving (eco-car) and multi-purpose (SUV) groups, some of whom have been affected by high household debt and have an impact on loan approval. Mr. Bao Zhuangfei, General Manager of NETA Auto (Thailand) Co., Ltd., revealed that in the past 2-3 months, the electric vehicle (EV) market in Thailand has slowed down significantly due to the high household debt situation and the continuously increasing non-performing loans rate in the system. As a result, financial institutions have become stricter, causing NETA's loan rejection rate, which is normally 5-10%, to increase to 20%. https://www.pptvhd36.com/automotive/news/203375 I don't recall any major price reductions on EV's in 2023 other than B50K reduction on Neta V in October 2023 I assume that reduction was due to Neta V sales going to Byd Dolphin in September and October 2023 Registrations numbers for Neta V dipped in September and October 2023 after Dolphin was launched July 2023 https://autolifethailand.tv/total-ev-bev-register-2023-thailand/ If we look at EV prices for 2023 ranging from B400k to B1.6million from the major EV brands in Thailand and split the sectors into 2 sections B700K and below B700K and above Neta V and Dolphin have a combined market share of 29% of all EV's registered in 2023 The Bank of Thailand explains that the reason for the decline in car loans is due to the deteriorating quality of borrowers, not banks becoming stricter. . According to the latest data, the 1.55% decrease in car hire-purchase loans in Q1/2024 slowed down more than other types of loans. It was also found that loan rejections increased. However, this is believed to be due to the quality of the borrowers themselves, not due to the tighter lending of banks. Meanwhile, used cars are under great pressure. The falling prices of used cars have caused the market to stagnate because there is usually a group of buyers who buy new cars by trading in their old cars to get money to pay off the new car. Therefore, when used cars are sold at low prices, buyers have to pay more to buy new cars. Therefore, the ability to buy new cars is reduced. https://www.infoquest.co.th/2024/409298
