Smaller charging stations will now be eligible for three-year tax benefits, an extra incentive on top of a five-year corporate income tax exemption available to investments in charging stations with at least 40 chargers, Duangjai Asawachintachit, head of the Board of Investment (BOI), told a news conference.
A condition barring investors from receiving additional benefits from other agencies, and a requirement for ISO certification have also been removed, she said.

Thailand is encouraging consumers to shift to EVs, with a goal of ensuring 30per cent of its total auto production output is EVs by 2030.
