EV event aims to be eye-opener for entrepreneurs, users, policymakers
As of 2023, there were over 2,600 charging stations nationwide, with approximately 9,000 public charging sites.
Krisda encouraged small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly automobile suppliers, to attend the event so that they could learn about the latest EV trends while looking for opportunities to integrate into EV global supply chains.
Wirat Tatsaringkansakul, deputy secretary-general of Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI), said that the EV industry was one of the government’s initiatives to transform the country’s economic infrastructure.
He believed that Thailand could become the region’s EV hub due to its strong supply chain for automobiles, complete and stable infrastructure, skilled work force, and robust government support measures.
Still, as a member of the public sector, he knows the BOI can do more to support the EV industry than simply provide incentives to attract both international and domestic investors.
He mentioned sponsoring events such as Electric Vehicle Asia and iEVTech 2024 as an example.
According to Informa Markets, over 33,000 visitors from 65 countries will attend the expo to gain cutting-edge insights from over 200 experts while experiencing innovative displays from over 250 brands worldwide, including seven international pavilions representing Germany, Japan, Korea, China, Switzerland, Singapore, and Taiwan.
