Thailand: 35% tax on imported electric vehicles from 2027

Thailand is raising the consumption tax on imported electric vehicles from 10-15% to 35% starting in 2027, in order to limit Chinese imports and encourage local production. The measure is part of an already advanced electric transition, with electric models representing 55.5% of Thai automotive sales, and of an upgrade in batteries and components. Several Chinese EV brands have declared themselves in favor of this increase, and Thai automotive production is expected to rise by 7% after the tax, a sign of a shift toward local production. The sub-events mainly detail the Thailand-China relationship, China being concerned as the origin of imports and through its manufacturers established on site; no details specific to the United States or Germany appear in the provided elements.
