The Thai auto industry says the import tax on EVs has not been decided. Options of 10%, 20% or 30% are still under review, and the sub-committees must finish before the national EV Board meets. The 30% figure comes from a proposal by 10 auto associations. The industry warns that the number is circulating before a decision, which can drive buyers to rush purchases and dealers to over-import stock, creating artificial demand. For a business in the car or parts trade, avoid stocking up or repricing on the 30% figure until the government announces it. Watch for the sub-committee outcome, since the Board timeline is now open-ended.
