There was/is talk of a new battery and EV plant in the Eastern Economic corridor ( Chonburi) I don't think fully electric is viable yet...the battery technology has not improved much, range is low there are no charging stations,charging takes too long,the vehicles are expensive,batteries don't last anywhere near an engine does and are expensive to replace,producing the electricity to charge the batteries comes from ? Why don't they make/produce/develop an on demand in car hydrogen fuel cell.. which just uses water as fuel ? could either run a conventional engine or produce electricity for an all electric , cheap fuel quick and easy to top up the water tank..only produces enough hydrogen to run the car so no need to store it in a dangerous canister.

Peterw42 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 What would be the point, in thailand, if the electricity still comes from a fossil fuel power station. its just moving the pollution/greenhouse gases from the car to the power station.

Henryford Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 There are no charging points in Thailand and most people don't have a garage to charge a car. Who would buy electric? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota does with massive support from the Japanese government. I can only shake my head about the battery car hype. Volkswagen boss lost his mind.
