Read January with care. Cars bought at the Motor Expo in late November and December are mostly registered after New Year, so January runs high and February low. Compare January with last January, not with December.

How these numbers are counted
Source: the Department of Land Transport’s monthly report of new vehicle registrations by fuel type (สถิติการจดทะเบียนรถใหม่ จำแนกตามชนิดเชื้อเพลิง), national sheet. It usually appears in the first week or two of the following month. evchu checks for it every day and adds the month the day it is published.
Passenger cars means private cars with up to seven seats, DLT class รย.1. EV means battery-electric only: the fuel column ไฟฟ้า. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids are reported in their own columns and are not counted as EVs. Pickups (รย.3), vans and motorcycles are outside both numbers.
Registrations are not quite sales. A car is counted in the month it is registered, which can be days or weeks after it was ordered or delivered. Registrations are still the closest official monthly measure of new-car sales in Thailand.
EV share is EV registrations divided by all new รย.1 registrations in the same month. Changes compare EV registrations with the previous month and with the same month a year earlier. All three are recalculated from the published counts, so the page, the table and the CSV always agree.
Figures by brand and model come from DLT’s new-car registration files by model, matched to evchu’s catalogue, and appear on each model page with the month they cover. If DLT corrects a file, the corrected figures replace that month. Found a number that does not match the source? Tell us through the contact page.
