Imports of electric passenger cars to Thailand rose 138% year-over-year in September to $421 million, Bloomberg reports. China accounted for about 99% of the total supply. The increase in purchases stems from the authorities' plans to introduce an excise tax of about 30% on fully imported electric vehicles to stimulate local production. In just the first nine months of the year, the volume of imports of this type of car to Israel reached 2.37 billion dollars, of which 96% were supplied by Chinese manufacturers.
