FACTORS THAT MAKE PEOPLE CHANGE FROM PURE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE VEHICLES TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THAILAND.

Abstract

Currently, there are many choices of Electric Vehicles around the world, and many countries support Electric Vehicles in many positive ways, but it seems to be very slow to change and adopt to use Electric Vehicles in Thailand which makes me doubt why that happens in Thailand. This thematic paper will find out what factors that can change Thai people from using Pure Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles to Electric Vehicles. This study is using semi-structured interviews in a qualitative research method in order to find out the main and actual factors to make people change from Pure Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles to Electric Vehicles. Finally, I found out that factors that will make Thai people change from Pure Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles to Electric Vehicles are Infrastructure, Financial and Authorized Dealers.
