Delivering the keynote remarks, the Prime Minister said the government is speeding up the plan to launch EV meetings in Thailand by the end of next year.

The prime minister stated EV development is a key part of the Thai government’s ongoing efforts to restructure its economic system to be more knowledge-based, particularly focusing on S-curve industries, round and eco-monetary model, health, tourism, and power.

He also stated that important components like batteries, traction motors, battery management services, AC/DC converters, inverters, portable EV chargers, electrical circuit breakers, and EV sensible charging systems ought to be produced in the near future in the country.

In addition to producing key elements for EVs, the electric vehicle manufacturing facility will serve end-to-end operations such as design, manufacturing, and assembly. An estimated 50,000 EVs will be manufactured per year. Following the current phase, the companies predict that the annual number will rise to 150,000.

As Thailand struggled to contain the worst of COVID pandemic, Bangkok made it mandatory for residents to wear masks publicly as of Monday. The Thai government is now trying to purchase vaccines from a growing global supply, as many hospitals report nearly full, setting up field hospitals in sports arenas and elsewhere. As infections increased earlier this month, he nevertheless decided to let Thais continue to travel on the Sonoran holidays. Only 0.3% of the population has been fully vaccinated, according to the New York Times database.

Aswin Kwanmuang, the governor of Bangkok, came on Monday with key police officers to help collect a fine of  6,000 thb ($190) . “I informed the Prime Minister that this was a violation of the rules,” the governor wrote on Facebook. The fine penalty goes to a maximum of 20k thb but as a first time offender the charge is 6,000 thb.
