Facing a flood of Chinese-built complete vehicles, Thailand plans to raise the consumption tax on imported pure electric vehicles from the current 10% to 35% to spur local carmaking, Industry Minister Varawut Silpa-archa said. The cabinet approved the BEV tax plan on November 3, with the new rate taking effect January 1.
