BYD in Thailand
Honesty contract. Every fact in this document has a cited source. Where a value couldn't be verified to a primary or near-primary source, it's marked [unverified] in the Verification matrix below — never silently guessed.
At a glance
- Distributor: Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd. — official BYD passenger-vehicle importer for Thailand. Founded by the Phornprapha family (third generation: Pratarnwong Phornprapha as CEO, his younger sister Pratarnporn Phornprapha as Vice CEO; ages 39 / 38 at the August 2022 brand launch). The same family founded Siam Motors Group in 1952 (Nissan distributor). Rêver is legally independent of Siam Motors — Siam's existing Nissan partnership prevented the group from backing a rival Chinese brand directly.
- BYD's 20 % stake in Rêver: Share-purchase agreement signed July 6 2024, publicly announced July 7–8 2024 — formalising the partnership after two years of growth.
- Entered Thailand: August 10, 2022 (brand event). Atto 3 first deliveries October 10, 2022 (Extended Range) and November 11, 2022 (Standard Range).
- Best-selling EV brand in Thailand since entry. 2023:
30,500 units total. 2024: 27,005 BEVs = 38.5 % of the TH BEV market. 2025 H1: 24,072 units (+64.1 % YoY). 2025 full year: 41,571 DLT-registered units (Proliance full-year report) — BYD #4 overall at 6.86 % total-market share. BYD's own FY2025 results report ~50,000 units delivered to TH dealers (Nation Thailand). The gap is registration-lag + dealer pipeline; H2 2025 softened materially (Aug 2025 was −26.9 % YoY) before BIMS 2026 stabilised run-rate. Q1 2026: still #1 BEV brand at ~37.6 % EV market share (Counterpoint / Proliance) — though BYD's all-powertrain rank dropped to #4 with 14,164 units (+61.7 % YoY) as the PHEV expansion broadens the volume base.
- Local manufacturing: Rayong plant inaugurated July 4, 2024 — first BYD passenger-EV plant outside China and the first in Southeast Asia. 150,000 units/year capacity. Produces 5 nameplates today — 3 BEVs (Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal) and 2 PHEVs (Seal 05 DM-i, Sealion 6 DM-i). Sealion 7 is CBU-China, not locally assembled. Plant milestones: 100,000th delivery Oct 16 2025 (AP's first market past 100k); 70,000th unit Nov 27 2025 (a Sealion 6 DM-i).
- Models on sale (May 2026): Atto 3 · Atto 1 · Atto 2 · Dolphin · Seal · Seal 6 · Sealion 7 · M6. (Sealion 6 DM-i is a PHEV and is excluded from evth's BEV-only scope.)
- Showrooms: 100+ (as of mid-2024, with a target of 200 by end-2024); exact May-2026 count [unverified — public locator not enumerated in this pass].
- Current BEV price band: ฿429,900 (Atto 1 Dynamic) to ฿1,599,000 (Seal AWD Performance launch MSRP — current promo pricing well below this).
BYD is the load-bearing brand of Thailand's EV market. Atto 3 took the EV crown in 2023, BYD held it through 2024 (~38% share), and the Rayong plant's opening in mid-2024 turned the company from importer to manufacturer almost overnight — the first time a Chinese EV brand has done that anywhere in ASEAN. The local plant also reshaped pricing dynamics: the July 2024 plant-opening price cut on Atto 3 (up to ฿340,000) triggered consumer protests, an OCPB investigation, and a meeting between BYD founder Wang Chuanfu and PM Srettha. The investigation ultimately cleared BYD.
Distribution & business
Rêver Automotive committed an initial ฿3 billion investment in 2022 to import, sell, and service BYD vehicles. Showroom growth ran ahead of every other Chinese-EV brand in Thailand:
| Date | Dealer sites | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 2022 | 32 | Brand launch |
| End 2023 | ~100 | CEO Pratarnwong, Jan 2024 statement |
| Mid 2024 | ~115 | CnEVPost (Jul 2024) |
| Sep 2024 | 108th store | Coincided with BYD's 300th store in Asia-Pacific (BYD press release) |
| End 2024 | ~150 (target) | Initial target: 150 covering all 77 provinces |
| End 2025 | 200 (target) | CEO Nov 2024 statement |
| May 2026 | ~220–250 (extrapolated) | Exact count not published |
| End 2026 | ~300 (target) | CEO Nov 2024 statement |
The exact May-2026 count isn't published — Rêver's dealer-locator
page (reverautomotive.com/en/locator/dealer-station) is the
authoritative source but requires Playwright (WebFetch is
permission-denied). The trajectory above is from CEO Pratarnwong
Phornprapha's published statements and CnEVPost reporting.
Confirmed flagship / major-city sites:
| Location | Type |
|---|---|
| Bangkok HQ — 865 Siam@Siam Hotel, 9th floor, Rama 1 Rd, Pathumwan | Corporate HQ + showroom |
| Bangkok — Chaeng Wattana (BYD Chaeng Wattana) | Dedicated dealer |
| Chonburi (BYD Chonburi Automotive) | Dedicated dealer |
| Chiang Mai | Northern flagship |
| Phuket — Thepkrasattri Road | South-west flagship |
| Hat Yai — Phetkasem Road, Songkhla | Deep-south flagship |
| Khon Kaen | Isaan flagship |
(Service centers are co-located with showrooms in the dedicated-dealer pattern; Rêver doesn't publish a separate service-center count or per-site service capacity.)
The Phornprapha family's auto-industry depth — Siam Motors has sold Nissan in Thailand since the 1950s — gave Rêver disproportionate operational maturity (service, parts, financing) relative to a typical Chinese-EV importer.
Local manufacturing — Rayong plant
- Site: WHA Rayong 36 Industrial Estate, ~600 rai (~960,000 m²).
- Groundbreaking: March 10, 2023.
- Inauguration: July 4, 2024 — BYD's first overseas passenger-EV plant; first Chinese-EV plant in SEA.
- Capacity: 150,000 units/year.
- Models produced (May 2026): 5 nameplates — Atto 3, Dolphin,
Seal (BEV trio) + Seal 05 DM-i (PHEV, launched Aug 8 2025)
- Sealion 6 DM-i (PHEV). Sealion 7 is NOT in local production — it's CBU-China.
- Workforce: ~6,100 local employees by Jul 2025 (plant 1-year anniversary).
- Milestones:
- 10,000th unit November 2024
- 90,000th delivery + plant 1-year anniversary July 8 2025
- 100,000th delivery October 16 2025 — Thailand became BYD's first Asia-Pacific market to surpass 100,000 NEV deliveries; coincided with the 50th anniversary of Thai-China diplomatic relations
- 70,000th unit produced November 27 2025 (publicly announced December 3); the milestone car was a Sealion 6 DM-i, indicating significant PHEV mix in plant output
- Strategic significance: Locally-assembled cars qualify under EV3.5 with the 1:1 production obligation closing December 31, 2026. The PHEV-heavy production mix (2 of 5 nameplates) hedges Rêver against EV-only subsidy expiry.
Charging network partners
BYD does not operate a proprietary branded charging network in Thailand (unlike Zeekr Power). Charging strategy is partner-based:
- SHARGE — Rêver's exclusive home-wallbox + showroom-charger partner. The SHARGE app aggregates 200+ public stations, including EA Anywhere, PEA VOLTA, and Evolt.
- In-car nav integration with PEA Volta / EleX / Chargenet at the roaming/billing layer: [unverified — extent not documented in distributor materials reviewed].
Warranty terms
Standard BYD Thailand warranty (per the byd.com/en-th warranty policy page):
- Complete vehicle: 6 years / 150,000 km
- High-voltage Blade LFP battery: 8 years / 160,000 km
- Drive motor + electronic control: covered under the 8-year battery warranty (same envelope)
- Roadside assistance: standard BYD-global 5 years (TH-specific term not separately published)
Rêver Care lifetime warranty package (Sep 2024 onwards):
- Covers high-voltage battery + drive motor + Power Distribution Cabin components for the duration of original ownership (non-transferable)
- Normal price: ฿50,000
- BIMS 2026 promo (3 Mar – 5 Apr 2026): ฿5,000 (90 % off) for show bookings
Note: BYD globally extended its battery warranty to 8 yr / 250,000 km in late 2025. This upgrade is NOT applied to Thailand; the local 160k threshold remains, with Rêver Care as the lifetime upgrade path.
- Wallbox: SHARGE home-wallbox installation is included or partner-discounted with new vehicle purchase; specifics vary by promotional bundle.

Current trims (MY2026, TH-assembled)
Verified against the live Rêver Automotive tech-spec page (in
raw_scrapes, source byd-th). The Atto 3 lineup was simplified
from 3 trims at the Mar 2024 facelift to 2 trims today —
the "Dynamic" entry tier was dropped, and the surviving Premium /
Extended trims have list prices well below the launch MSRPs.
| Trim | MSRP | Battery | Range (NEDC) | 0–100 | AC | DC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | ฿799,900 | 50.25 kWh LFP | 410 km | 7.9 s | 7 kW | 88 kW | "Standard" tier |
| Extended | ฿849,900 | 60.48 kWh LFP | 480 km | 7.3 s | 7 kW | 88 kW | Top tier; Space Grey exclusive |
All FWD, 150 kW (204 PS) single front motor. Spec shown is the Extended trim's; Premium has a smaller 50.25 kWh pack with the same 88 kW DC.
Historical note: a 3-trim lineup existed from the Mar 2024 facelift (Dynamic ฿899,900 / Premium ฿949,900 / Extended ฿1,049,900). The Dynamic entry tier was discontinued sometime in 2025/early 2026 as part of the gradual price compression.

BYD's cheapest EV in Thailand. Launched simultaneously with Atto 2 and Seal 6 (BEV) at BIMS 2026.
Lineage & platform
- Generation: 1st gen (global launch 2024 as Dolphin Mini / Seagull). Renamed for international markets.

- Architecture: 400 V.
- Battery: Blade LFP.
- TH launch: March 25, 2026 (BIMS 2026).
Current trims
| Trim | MSRP | Battery | Range (NEDC) | Range (WLTP) | DC peak | Power | Drive |

AC 6.6 kW (Type 2). 0–50 km/h in 4.9 s (Premium battery; Dynamic likely similar). 0–100 km/h and top speed are NOT published in any Thai source — the Australia-market figures (~14.9 s / 130 km/h) shouldn't be cross-referenced because the TH spec differs slightly (TH ground clearance 120 mm vs Australia's 150 mm).

Atto 3 Evo — TH status (May 2026)
BYD globally unveiled the Atto 3 Evo on February 10, 2026 in Europe. It's a major upgrade — 800 V architecture, 74.88 kWh battery, 313 PS RWD or 443 PS AWD, 650 km range, 10–80 % in 25 min, 220 kW DC peak charging.
Thailand status (verified May 11 2026): NOT yet announced.
- BIMS 2026 (23 Mar – 5 Apr 2026) showcased Atto 1, Atto 2, Seal 6 BEV, and Sealion 5 DM-i — no Atto 3 Evo.
- Rêver's BIMS 2026 promotion ran aggressive discounts on the existing Atto 3 MY2024 facelift (Premium −฿130k, Extended −฿80k), signalling inventory clearance ahead of the Evo's arrival.
- Rêver's May 2026 campaign (running May 1–31 2026) explicitly markets the existing facelift Atto 3 — the "New ATTO 3" branding refers to the 2024 facelift, not the Evo. Confirms inventory clearance posture.
- No Headlightmag / Autolifethailand / Paultan / Bangkok Post article exists for a TH-specific Evo launch as of May 11 2026.
- Australia confirmed for "later in 2026". Thailand likely follows in H2 2026 or Q1 2027. The Evo is sold in Europe as CBU-China, so a TH launch would require either CBU import or a non-trivial Rayong-line retooling.

Known incidents / recalls
- Sep 3, 2023 — Atto 3 smoke at Udon Thani UD Town: A one-week-old Atto 3 emitted smoke during DC charging at a mall. Rêver's investigation attributed it to a damaged 12V battery wire that overheated an adjacent A/C tube, causing refrigerant to leak — smoke only, no flame. Isolated incident. Sources: blink-drive.com, Nation Thailand, Thaiger.
- Jul 2024 price-cut consumer protest: OCPB investigated the Atto 3 ฿340,000 plant-opening cut; BYD ultimately cleared. Source: Bangkok Post.
- Global recalls (China-only — no TH-specific recall as of May 2026): Sep 2024 Dolphin/Yuan Plus steering recall; Oct 2025 Tang/Yuan Pro motor-controller + battery-seal recall. Sources: electrive — Oct 2025 recall, Motorist Thailand.

BYD in Thailand
Honesty contract. Every fact in this document has a cited source. Where a value couldn't be verified to a primary or near-primary source, it's marked [unverified] in the Verification matrix below — never silently guessed.
At a glance
- Distributor: Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd. — official BYD passenger-vehicle importer for Thailand. Founded by the Phornprapha family (third generation: Pratarnwong Phornprapha as CEO, his younger sister Pratarnporn Phornprapha as Vice CEO; ages 39 / 38 at the August 2022 brand launch). The same family founded Siam Motors Group in 1952 (Nissan distributor). Rêver is legally independent of Siam Motors — Siam's existing Nissan partnership prevented the group from backing a rival Chinese brand directly.
- BYD's 20 % stake in Rêver: Share-purchase agreement signed July 6 2024, publicly announced July 7–8 2024 — formalising the partnership after two years of growth.
- Entered Thailand: August 10, 2022 (brand event). Atto 3 first deliveries October 10, 2022 (Extended Range) and November 11, 2022 (Standard Range).
- Best-selling EV brand in Thailand since entry. 2023:
30,500 units total. 2024: 27,005 BEVs = 38.5 % of the TH BEV market. 2025 H1: 24,072 units (+64.1 % YoY). 2025 full year: 41,571 DLT-registered units (Proliance full-year report) — BYD #4 overall at 6.86 % total-market share. BYD's own FY2025 results report ~50,000 units delivered to TH dealers (Nation Thailand). The gap is registration-lag + dealer pipeline; H2 2025 softened materially (Aug 2025 was −26.9 % YoY) before BIMS 2026 stabilised run-rate. Q1 2026: still #1 BEV brand at ~37.6 % EV market share (Counterpoint / Proliance) — though BYD's all-powertrain rank dropped to #4 with 14,164 units (+61.7 % YoY) as the PHEV expansion broadens the volume base.
- Local manufacturing: Rayong plant inaugurated July 4, 2024 — first BYD passenger-EV plant outside China and the first in Southeast Asia. 150,000 units/year capacity. Produces 5 nameplates today — 3 BEVs (Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal) and 2 PHEVs (Seal 05 DM-i, Sealion 6 DM-i). Sealion 7 is CBU-China, not locally assembled. Plant milestones: 100,000th delivery Oct 16 2025 (AP's first market past 100k); 70,000th unit Nov 27 2025 (a Sealion 6 DM-i).
- Models on sale (May 2026): Atto 3 · Atto 1 · Atto 2 · Dolphin · Seal · Seal 6 · Sealion 7 · M6. (Sealion 6 DM-i is a PHEV and is excluded from evth's BEV-only scope.)
- Showrooms: 100+ (as of mid-2024, with a target of 200 by end-2024); exact May-2026 count [unverified — public locator not enumerated in this pass].
- Current BEV price band: ฿429,900 (Atto 1 Dynamic) to ฿1,599,000 (Seal AWD Performance launch MSRP — current promo pricing well below this).
BYD is the load-bearing brand of Thailand's EV market. Atto 3 took the EV crown in 2023, BYD held it through 2024 (~38% share), and the Rayong plant's opening in mid-2024 turned the company from importer to manufacturer almost overnight — the first time a Chinese EV brand has done that anywhere in ASEAN. The local plant also reshaped pricing dynamics: the July 2024 plant-opening price cut on Atto 3 (up to ฿340,000) triggered consumer protests, an OCPB investigation, and a meeting between BYD founder Wang Chuanfu and PM Srettha. The investigation ultimately cleared BYD.
Distribution & business
Rêver Automotive committed an initial ฿3 billion investment in 2022 to import, sell, and service BYD vehicles. Showroom growth ran ahead of every other Chinese-EV brand in Thailand:
| Date | Dealer sites | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 2022 | 32 | Brand launch |
| End 2023 | ~100 | CEO Pratarnwong, Jan 2024 statement |
| Mid 2024 | ~115 | CnEVPost (Jul 2024) |
| Sep 2024 | 108th store | Coincided with BYD's 300th store in Asia-Pacific (BYD press release) |
| End 2024 | ~150 (target) | Initial target: 150 covering all 77 provinces |
| End 2025 | 200 (target) | CEO Nov 2024 statement |
| May 2026 | ~220–250 (extrapolated) | Exact count not published |
| End 2026 | ~300 (target) | CEO Nov 2024 statement |
The exact May-2026 count isn't published — Rêver's dealer-locator
page (reverautomotive.com/en/locator/dealer-station) is the
authoritative source but requires Playwright (WebFetch is
permission-denied). The trajectory above is from CEO Pratarnwong
Phornprapha's published statements and CnEVPost reporting.
Confirmed flagship / major-city sites:
| Location | Type |
|---|---|
| Bangkok HQ — 865 Siam@Siam Hotel, 9th floor, Rama 1 Rd, Pathumwan | Corporate HQ + showroom |
| Bangkok — Chaeng Wattana (BYD Chaeng Wattana) | Dedicated dealer |
| Chonburi (BYD Chonburi Automotive) | Dedicated dealer |
| Chiang Mai | Northern flagship |
| Phuket — Thepkrasattri Road | South-west flagship |
| Hat Yai — Phetkasem Road, Songkhla | Deep-south flagship |
| Khon Kaen | Isaan flagship |
(Service centers are co-located with showrooms in the dedicated-dealer pattern; Rêver doesn't publish a separate service-center count or per-site service capacity.)
The Phornprapha family's auto-industry depth — Siam Motors has sold Nissan in Thailand since the 1950s — gave Rêver disproportionate operational maturity (service, parts, financing) relative to a typical Chinese-EV importer.
Local manufacturing — Rayong plant
- Site: WHA Rayong 36 Industrial Estate, ~600 rai (~960,000 m²).
- Groundbreaking: March 10, 2023.
- Inauguration: July 4, 2024 — BYD's first overseas passenger-EV plant; first Chinese-EV plant in SEA.
- Capacity: 150,000 units/year.
- Models produced (May 2026): 5 nameplates — Atto 3, Dolphin,
Seal (BEV trio) + Seal 05 DM-i (PHEV, launched Aug 8 2025)
- Sealion 6 DM-i (PHEV). Sealion 7 is NOT in local production — it's CBU-China.
- Workforce: ~6,100 local employees by Jul 2025 (plant 1-year anniversary).
- Milestones:
- 10,000th unit November 2024
- 90,000th delivery + plant 1-year anniversary July 8 2025
- 100,000th delivery October 16 2025 — Thailand became BYD's first Asia-Pacific market to surpass 100,000 NEV deliveries; coincided with the 50th anniversary of Thai-China diplomatic relations
- 70,000th unit produced November 27 2025 (publicly announced December 3); the milestone car was a Sealion 6 DM-i, indicating significant PHEV mix in plant output
- Strategic significance: Locally-assembled cars qualify under EV3.5 with the 1:1 production obligation closing December 31, 2026. The PHEV-heavy production mix (2 of 5 nameplates) hedges Rêver against EV-only subsidy expiry.
Charging network partners
BYD does not operate a proprietary branded charging network in Thailand (unlike Zeekr Power). Charging strategy is partner-based:
- SHARGE — Rêver's exclusive home-wallbox + showroom-charger partner. The SHARGE app aggregates 200+ public stations, including EA Anywhere, PEA VOLTA, and Evolt.
- In-car nav integration with PEA Volta / EleX / Chargenet at the roaming/billing layer: [unverified — extent not documented in distributor materials reviewed].
Warranty terms
Standard BYD Thailand warranty (per the byd.com/en-th warranty policy page):
- Complete vehicle: 6 years / 150,000 km
- High-voltage Blade LFP battery: 8 years / 160,000 km
- Drive motor + electronic control: covered under the 8-year battery warranty (same envelope)
- Roadside assistance: standard BYD-global 5 years (TH-specific term not separately published)
Rêver Care lifetime warranty package (Sep 2024 onwards):
- Covers high-voltage battery + drive motor + Power Distribution Cabin components for the duration of original ownership (non-transferable)
- Normal price: ฿50,000
- BIMS 2026 promo (3 Mar – 5 Apr 2026): ฿5,000 (90 % off) for show bookings
Note: BYD globally extended its battery warranty to 8 yr / 250,000 km in late 2025. This upgrade is NOT applied to Thailand; the local 160k threshold remains, with Rêver Care as the lifetime upgrade path.
- Wallbox: SHARGE home-wallbox installation is included or partner-discounted with new vehicle purchase; specifics vary by promotional bundle.

Current trims (MY2026, TH-assembled)
Verified against the live Rêver Automotive tech-spec page (in
raw_scrapes, source byd-th). The Atto 3 lineup was simplified
from 3 trims at the Mar 2024 facelift to 2 trims today —
the "Dynamic" entry tier was dropped, and the surviving Premium /
Extended trims have list prices well below the launch MSRPs.
| Trim | MSRP | Battery | Range (NEDC) | 0–100 | AC | DC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | ฿799,900 | 50.25 kWh LFP | 410 km | 7.9 s | 7 kW | 88 kW | "Standard" tier |
| Extended | ฿849,900 | 60.48 kWh LFP | 480 km | 7.3 s | 7 kW | 88 kW | Top tier; Space Grey exclusive |
All FWD, 150 kW (204 PS) single front motor. Spec shown is the Extended trim's; Premium has a smaller 50.25 kWh pack with the same 88 kW DC.
Historical note: a 3-trim lineup existed from the Mar 2024 facelift (Dynamic ฿899,900 / Premium ฿949,900 / Extended ฿1,049,900). The Dynamic entry tier was discontinued sometime in 2025/early 2026 as part of the gradual price compression.

Atto 3 Evo — TH status (May 2026)
BYD globally unveiled the Atto 3 Evo on February 10, 2026 in Europe. It's a major upgrade — 800 V architecture, 74.88 kWh battery, 313 PS RWD or 443 PS AWD, 650 km range, 10–80 % in 25 min, 220 kW DC peak charging.
Thailand status (verified May 11 2026): NOT yet announced.
- BIMS 2026 (23 Mar – 5 Apr 2026) showcased Atto 1, Atto 2, Seal 6 BEV, and Sealion 5 DM-i — no Atto 3 Evo.
- Rêver's BIMS 2026 promotion ran aggressive discounts on the existing Atto 3 MY2024 facelift (Premium −฿130k, Extended −฿80k), signalling inventory clearance ahead of the Evo's arrival.
- Rêver's May 2026 campaign (running May 1–31 2026) explicitly markets the existing facelift Atto 3 — the "New ATTO 3" branding refers to the 2024 facelift, not the Evo. Confirms inventory clearance posture.
- No Headlightmag / Autolifethailand / Paultan / Bangkok Post article exists for a TH-specific Evo launch as of May 11 2026.
- Australia confirmed for "later in 2026". Thailand likely follows in H2 2026 or Q1 2027. The Evo is sold in Europe as CBU-China, so a TH launch would require either CBU import or a non-trivial Rayong-line retooling.

Known incidents / recalls
- Sep 3, 2023 — Atto 3 smoke at Udon Thani UD Town: A one-week-old Atto 3 emitted smoke during DC charging at a mall. Rêver's investigation attributed it to a damaged 12V battery wire that overheated an adjacent A/C tube, causing refrigerant to leak — smoke only, no flame. Isolated incident. Sources: blink-drive.com, Nation Thailand, Thaiger.
- Jul 2024 price-cut consumer protest: OCPB investigated the Atto 3 ฿340,000 plant-opening cut; BYD ultimately cleared. Source: Bangkok Post.
- Global recalls (China-only — no TH-specific recall as of May 2026): Sep 2024 Dolphin/Yuan Plus steering recall; Oct 2025 Tang/Yuan Pro motor-controller + battery-seal recall. Sources: electrive — Oct 2025 recall, Motorist Thailand.

Monitoring (waiting on external event)
- Atto 3 Evo TH launch date + MSRP — re-verified
2026-05-11: no Rêver announcement. Australia confirmed for
late 2026; TH likely H2 2026 / Q1 2027. Rêver's May 2026
campaign explicitly markets the existing facelift Atto 3
("New ATTO 3" = 2024 facelift, NOT the Evo). When TH launch
lands, this will trigger:
- doc + seed update with new MY27 trims
- existing Atto 3 MY24 facelift trims marked
discontinued - predecessor_trim_id wiring on the Evo trims
Still genuinely open (require new tooling or external data)
- Showroom count + full city list (May 2026) — Rêver
dealer locator at
reverautomotive.com/en/locator/dealer-stationis Next.js client-hydrated and our existing Playwright scraper (BYD-TH) is already proven against this domain. Action item: scaffoldscrapers/rever-locator-th/mirroringbyd-th/: one-shot Playwright probe of the locator route → dump__NEXT_DATA__or capture XHR (likely a_next/data/.../ dealer-station.jsonendpoint) → write toraw_scrapes→ normalize into a newdealerstable (or extendbrands.external_links.distributors[]). - Charging-network roaming details — SHARGE aggregates EA Anywhere / PEA VOLTA / Evolt at the discovery layer. Whether you can pay one bill across networks via SHARGE (RFID / single billing) isn't documented publicly. Would require a SHARGE business-development conversation or ownership-experience confirmation.
- Per-trim service capacity at each dealer — not published by Rêver at any granularity. Best obtainable would be a qualitative "flagship vs satellite" tier label per site once the dealer scrape lands.
