How the evchu Score works
Every EV on sale in Thailand is scored 0–100 on five things — value, range, cost to own, charging speed and performance — by ranking it against every other EV in our database. Each metric is a real, verified figure, so a score of 90 means it beats 90% of EVs on that measure. The headline number is a balanced blend, rewarding all-rounders over one-trick specs.

Registered in Thailand
2 Lotus Eletre were registered in Thailand in October 2026.
231 registered in total, across 30 months of official data from February 2024. The last 12 months account for 44, down 50% on the 12 months before.
Compared over 12-month windows, not month to month: Thai registrations are seasonal — January runs about twice an average month, because Motor Expo sales are registered then.
