Lack of Standardization among EV component
technologies
Economies of Scale –Lack of Demand
volumes resulting in high price
Lack of EV infrastructure, free and access to all electricity
network
Low Consumer confidence in terms of
safety and range anxiety along with low
fuel costs
Key Concerns:
SUPPLY DEMAND
EV Status Overview in Thailand
Challenges for BEV business:• Wide standardize fast charging modes • Increase availability of EV fast chargers• Free and easy access to electricity network• Lower Cost of Battery• Improve Vehicle Driving Range• Improve Charging time• Obtain Driver Information

Haup- The first car sharing in Thailand
Haupcar is the first service provider of “carshare” mobilityplatform in Thailand. Our mission is to enable individuals to travelseamlessly without the hassle that comes with car-ownership.
Haup also aims to utilize more fuel-efficient vehicles such aselectric vehicles because our carsharing drivers tend to drive in ashorter distance than regular car owners. For this reason, electricvehicles can also be a suitable option for carsharing.
Reduce parking congestion
Slow down car-ownership
Access to variety ofcars 24/7
27
FOMM- The world’s smallest class 4-seater EV
“FOMM” stands for “First One Mile Mobility”.are developed as “Mobility” of close-range such as from your home to a station, from a car sharing spot to your home, or from your home to the first one mile.
Drivers of Etran Proms will be provided with a smart card that they can use to start the vehicle, swap batteries, receive maintenance, and pay the rental fee, which will start from 3,500 THB a month.
The company aims to expand its service to cover the whole Bangkok area next year and to “go global” in 2019.
