Suresh Kawachi关于Indian Market · Southeast Asia的点评

I see this tightening of regulation as a sign of market maturity. Thailand's EV market, including two-wheelers, has expanded rapidly, but when growth is too fast, cracks start showing in quality and after-sales service. The government moving on consumer protection is a necessary growing pain for nurturing the market over the long term. It's a step toward a healthier market.

Like that delivery-economy article mentioned, I think electrification is quietly progressing centered on last-mile delivery.

Quality issues showing up behind a rapidly expanding market happens in every country, I want to see this catch-up regulation as a positive.

There was also that article about China's electric two-wheeler exports surging, that wave probably hit the Thai market directly and led to this tightened regulation.

Concerns about after-sales support — if an emerging EV maker actually pulls out, the anxiety over parts supply stopping is a big deal for consumers too.

Tighter oversight seems necessary for healthy growth, leaving it unregulated carries a bigger risk of shoddy products flooding the market.

I think it's the right call for Thailand to tighten EV sales oversight now, since it's exactly the rapid-growth phase where acting early makes sense.
