BMW Considers Building Electric Car Factory In Thailand 2019

BMW would not confirm nor deny these claims, which tends to lead us to believe that they’re accurate, as their has been no shortage of “shoot downs” for unsubstantiated rumors on battery factories in the past. The goal is to make plug-in hybrids available at an attractive price point in Thailand. The Thai government will do its part by offering some sort of undisclosed tax incentive/credit on PHEVs in Thailand. Thailand is not considered to be prepared yet for pure electric cars, so there’s no talk of BEVs in the incentive program or in BMW’s construciton of the battery factory.
