Smart EV Charging Infrastructure Solution for E-mobility in Thailand
Thailand is often called the “Detroit of Asia” due to its position as the largest automotive manufacturing nation in Southeast Asia (SEA) and its large trend-savvy domestic market. So, it’s no surprise that the EV craze is taking this country by storm. According to a July report by Counterpoint, Thailand accounted for over 75% of battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales in the SEA region during Q1 2023. Overall, SEA passenger BEV sales grew by almost 10 times Y-o-Y in Q1 2023, according to Counterpoint’s SEA Passenger Electric Vehicle Model Sales Tracker.
Thailand experienced a substantial surge in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) during January-June 2023, registering 43,045 units, marking a remarkable 487.65% growth compared to the same period last year. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) increased by 41.02%, totaling 46,140 units, while Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) saw a more modest growth of 5.46%, reaching 6,272 units. The surge in BEVs is attributed to government incentives under the current EV 3.0 policy, offering up to 150,000 baht per EV, set to expire on December 31, 2023. The National Electric Vehicle Policy Board (EV Board) is advocating for the passage of the EV 3.5 package, which proposes subsidies of around 100,000 baht per imported EV and mandates car manufacturers to establish EV manufacturing plants in Thailand. With this EV boom, the need for an expanded charging infrastructure is emphasized, and Delta, having collaborated with the Thailand Automotive Institute and automotive brands over the past five years, is well-positioned to contribute by providing EV chargers to top Charge Point Operators nationwide.
However, the huge increase of EVs and chargers means we can no longer ignore the elephant in the room-our electric power grid. The truth is our power plant generation and grid distribution of electricity was never designed to handle the huge demand of electricity consumption from EV charging. Revising the national grid requires a lot of time and investment but EVs are already on the roads. Today, we will see how Delta’s integrated Energy Infrastructure solutions can support EV charging in Thailand today:
?Success case at Delta Europe headquarters
领英推荐
One successful example is at Delta’s Europe headquarters in the Netherlands. The building is over 35 years old, long before EV charging existed, and power configuration was limited. Delta installed 16 chargers in the building’s parking lot by leveraging rooftop PV and energy storage systems. Since activation, there have been zero power overload incidents, and the building’s total energy cost has been reduced by 15.64%.
Realize EV charging with DeltaGrid
We hope this brief introduction shows you that the EV transformation is not a faraway dream. Electrification is happening today with proven technologies that are powering the green business of Delta customers around the world. Delta’s key advantage in the EV charging and green energy space is our original turnkey energy management system DeltaGrid?.
We are ready to support Thailand EV charging station operators to setup a scalable and flexible EV charging system with integrated management as a future-proof solution.
