Want Your EV Market to Take Off? Then Let Chinese Carmakers In (www.bloomberg.com)

there’s a clear factor dividing which countries are seeing faster EV adoption and which are going slower: openness to Chinese carmakers.

Brazil saw EV sales soar more than 500% from 2022 to 2024, Thailand’s EV sales jumped 279% over the same period, and Mexico saw similarly rapid growth. Australia was another standout growth market, with EV sales up 145% in the last two years.

These sales patterns also challenge the idea that EV adoption will be led exclusively by wealthier countries. Thailand now boasts better EV adoption rates than the US, while Brazil has jumped ahead of Japan. Electric vehicles started out as a top-down phenomenon, but they’re quickly shifting to a bottom-up trend.

It is just expensive due to the COE. There is some different restrictions for Off peak cars and some other system for Vintage cars. There is no even and odd day restrictions in Singapore.

It would be better for consumers that Volkswagen & other car companies price their products closer to what it is sold for in China. The ID.3 can be had for USD $9,400 there.
