Big push for EVs on the way
The Energy Ministry will soon launch a comprehensive package to facilitate the production of electric vehicles (EV), said minister Sontirat Sontijirawong on Wednesday (August 28).
The package will provide incentives on investment, component and battery production, he added.
It will also include measures to encourage wider usage of EVs among the public amid environmental concerns.
The ministry will team up with the Finance and Industry ministries as well as the Board of Investment in drawing up the comprehensive policy.
It will also consult experts in the field to build up demand for EVs in the local market and to draw suppliers worldwide to the Kingdom.
