Thailand''s EV demand skyrockets, BGRIM eyes
In collaboration with its partner Espro Noodoe, BGRIM launched its first solar-powered EV car charging station at River City
Engineers installed 213 locker-like battery swapping stations in Bangkok, including several in the bustling Samyan district. That includes the one frequented by Ruangchan, the taxi driver. She had long wanted to switch to an electric motorcycle, which costs about US$0.67 a day to charge, one-third of the price of fuelling a gasoline-powered bike.
The stage has already been set for introducing the station to commercial use in Phuket through U Power's Thai subsidiary U Swap Co Ltd., which has partnered with the Thai energy firm Susco (Susco Public Company Limited) and other stakeholders aiming to accelerate EV uptake in Thailand.
They then deposit the old battery into the vacant compartment. Some stations will recharge batteries on the spot; other require batteries to be removed and charged at a central location. Bangkok has 51,000 motorcycle taxi drivers, according to the World Bank Group.
Among other markets, U Power has big plans for Thailand. Earlier today the company showed off its UOTTA station at the 2025 Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand.
