Thailand Sets Off Chaos In Domestic Auto Market By Subsidizing Chinese EVs​

https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Au...-Chinese-EV-makers-wreak-havoc-on-auto-sector

Thailand has accidentally also set off chaos in their home market by offering subsidies to Chinese EV makers, is "wreaking havoc" in Thailand. The unintended consequences of EV subsidies have also affected supply chains, with at least a dozen parts producers shutting down as subsidized Chinese EV makers avoid buying from most of them.

BYD, China's largest EV maker, aggressively cut the price of its Atto model by 37%, while Neta reduced its V-II model price by 9%. When fully operational, Chinese EV makers in Thailand will have the capacity to produce about 750,000 vehicles annually.

These subsidies have impacted the Thai automotive sector, which employs over 750,000 workers and contributes 11% to the GDP. The automotive sector is the fourth-largest economic contributor, following tourism (18%), retail (16%), and ahead of agriculture (8.6%).
