    EV3.5 local-production offset deadline (1:2 by end-2027)

    announcement
    Cabinet decision expected on higher excise for imported (CBU) EVs

    Ten industry associations led by TAPMA and EVAT petitioned on 14 May 2026 to raise excise on Chinese CBU EVs to 32%, or widen the imported-vs-local gap well beyond today's 8 points (2% locally assembled vs 10% imported). The Finance Ministry's package is expected to reach Cabinet within September 2026; importers have warned of 25-30% retail increases if it passes as requested. Date is the end of the stated window, not a confirmed sitting date. Affects CBU models only - locally assembled EVs are not exposed.

▸ About Jaecoo in Thailand

Jaecoo in Thailand

Source of truth for the jaecoo brand. Data seeded from db/seed-chery-group.ts (Jaecoo section). Jaecoo is Chery's premium off-road-styled SUV brand; a separate evth brand from Chery and Omoda, though they share the OJMT Rayong plant + OJST after-sales.

At a glance

  • Distributor: Omoda & Jaecoo (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (OJST) — a Chery-controlled JV with a King Gen PCL minority stake; co-located OMODA & JAECOO showrooms.
  • Manufacturing: OJMT Rayong NEV plant (Nikhom Phatthana, EEC) — ฿5bn, 104 rai, JV with King Gen PCL. CKD from March 2026 (J5 EV Max+).
  • Models on sale (2026-08): J6 EV (compact SUV), J5 EV (smaller compact SUV), 6T EV (BEV) and 6T REEV (range-extender — out of evth scope, see below)
  • Price band (BEV only): ฿589,000 (J5 EV LR Dynamic) – ฿1,079,000 (6T EV Long Range AWD)

⚠ This doc is mid-correction (2026-08-16). A price sweep found that most of the Jaecoo figures below are the 2025 prices — Chery re-listed the whole range on 2026-01-05 / 2026-01-19 and every BEV moved. The verified 2026 numbers are recorded in the sections below, but the seed has deliberately NOT been updated yet because the 6T EV ↔ J6 EV 4WD identity question (also below) is unresolved and would change which rows the prices belong to. Resolve that first, then re-seed db/seed-chery-group.ts in one pass.

Premium off-road-styled positioning (boxy SUV design) vs sibling Omoda's mainstream crossover styling. Shared backbone, separate showroom signage.

J6 EV — compact SUV (boxy off-road style)

TH bookings 2024-08; CBU-CN initially, CKD/SKD ramp at OJMT Rayong from Q3 2025 (first model off the line).

Trims

Verified 2026 lineup (effective 2026-01-05, CBU China):

Trim 2026 MSRP 2025 MSRP Battery Range (NEDC) Motor
Long Range 2WD Pro ฿849,000 ฿799,900 (+฿50k) 65.7 kWh 426 km 184 hp FWD
Long Range 4WD ฿1,049,000 ฿999,000 (+฿50k) 69.8 kWh 418 km 279 hp
Long Range 2WD (MY2024) ฿899,000 — 65.7 kWh 426 km legacy SKU, still listed

Source: Autolifethailand, Jan 2026 — "J6 EV Long Range 2WD Pro ราคาหลังหักส่วนลด ปี 2025 จาก 799,900 ปรับเพิ่ม 50,000 บาท เป็น 849,000 บาท". Corroborated by Checkraka.

  • AWD range slightly below 2WD despite the bigger pack (dual-motor draw).

Corrections owed to the DB (not yet applied — see the warning at the top of this doc):

  • We hold j6-ev-2wd at ฿1,099,000. No 2026 source supports that figure. It is either the Pro at ฿849,000 or the MY2024 legacy SKU at ฿899,000 — the trim name "Long Range 2WD" is ambiguous between them, so this needs a human decision before repricing.
  • We hold j6-ev-4wd at ฿1,249,000; the 2026 figure is ฿1,049,000.
  • There is no "Max" trim on the J6 EV — "Max" is a J5 EV name. The ZigWheels-derived jaecoo/6-ev model carries a phantom "Long Range 2WD Max ฿899,000"; that price is real but belongs to the legacy Long Range 2WD, not to a trim called Max.

6T EV / 6T REEV — two different vehicles sharing a name

This is the most important open item in this doc. Thailand has two distinct "6T" products and secondary coverage routinely conflates them.

6T EV — pure BEV (in scope)

Field Value
Price ฿1,079,000 (2026), up ฿30,000 from ฿1,049,900 in 2025
Effective 2026-01-05
Powertrain BEV, 69.77 kWh, 418 km NEDC, 279 hp / 385 Nm dual motor
Assembly Thai-assembled (ประกอบไทย)

Source: Autolifethailand — "Jaecoo 6T Long Range AWD ประกอบไทย ราคาหลังหักส่วนลด ปี 2025 จาก 1,049,900 ปรับเพิ่ม 30,000 บาท เป็น 1,079,000 บาท ในปี 2026".

✗ UNRESOLVED — 6T EV vs J6 EV Long Range 4WD. These two rows have identical published specs: 69.77/69.8 kWh, 418 km NEDC, 279 hp, dual motor. They differ only in name, assembly origin (6T = Thai- assembled, J6 = CBU China) and price (฿1,079,000 vs ฿1,049,000). Checkraka lists both as live SKUs side by side, which argues they are genuinely separate listings — but it is equally consistent with a rename mid-localisation that the aggregators never reconciled.

Do not merge, split, or reprice either row until this is settled against the OJST Thai site or a dealer. Our jaecoo/6t-ev row (from ZigWheels, ฿1,099,000) matches the 6T EV BEV on every spec and is ~฿20,000 high; the fix is trivial once we know what the row is.

6T REEV — range-extender (OUT OF SCOPE)

Has a petrol engine: 1,499 cc turbo four + 45 L tank (95 gasohol) acting purely as a generator — it never drives the wheels, but it is still a combustion vehicle.

Trim Intro price List EV range (NEDC) Combined Motor
6T REEV 2WD MAX ฿879,900 ฿899,900 190 km 800 km 185 kW / 252 hp RWD
6T REEV 4WD ULTRA ฿979,900 ฿999,900 160 km 750 km 315 kW / 428 hp dual

Battery 33.67 kWh CATL LFP. CBU China. Price announced 2026-06-29/30, market launch mid-July 2026. Intro terms: first 1,000 units, book by 2026-07-01, deliver by 2026-08-31 — so as of 2026-08-16 the list price ฿899,900 / ฿999,900 should apply [unverified — no separate post-promo announcement published].

Sources: Autolifethailand — "ราคาพิเศษแนะนำช่วงเปิดตัว 1,000 คันแรก … จากราคาปกติ 899,900 – 999,900 เหลือ 879,900 – 979,900 บาท"; Autospinn; Autoinfo.

Scope decision: evth is a BEV catalogue — the same rule that excludes the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i (see byd.md) excludes the 6T REEV. Do not seed it. If a REEV/EREV category is ever added, visual_attrs has no shape for a range extender today and would need extending first.

J5 EV — smaller compact SUV

CBU launch 2025-08-19 (Dynamic + Max, both now discontinued), replaced by the CKD Max+ (locally assembled, smaller 50.6 kWh LFP pack).

Trims

Trim Status Current MSRP Battery Range (WLTP)
J5 EV Max+ (CKD) current ฿599,000 50.6 kWh LFP 401 km
J5 EV Long Range Dynamic (CBU) current ฿589,000 58.9 kWh 400 km
J5 EV Long Range Max (CBU) current ฿639,000 58.9 kWh ~400 km
J5 EV Long Range Max Two Tone (CBU) current ฿649,000 58.9 kWh ~400 km

Corrected 2026-08-16. The CBU trims are not discontinued — Chery re-listed them on 2026-01-19. Dynamic ฿589,000 / Max ฿639,000 / Max Two Tone ฿649,000 (+฿10,000 for the black roof). Source: Autolifethailand; all four corroborated by Checkraka. The ZigWheels-derived jaecoo/5-ev row carrying ฿629,000 for Long Range Dynamic is supported by no primary Thai source — treat it as aggregator noise.

  • J5 EV Max+ CKD price verified: ฿599,000, official from 2026-05-05 (+฿20k from the ฿579,000 BIMS-47 launch promo). Source: Autolifethailand, May 2026. First Jaecoo BEV assembled in Thailand. Lifetime motor + battery warranty (first owner) + free home charger.
