The Excise Department plans to ask for an additional government budget of 3 billion baht to subsidise the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the state EV subsidy scheme, in line with the rising sales volume, says deputy director-general Kriengkrai Pattanaporn.
The department has received a budget of 2.9 billion baht from the government to fund the subsidy programme, of which 807 million baht has been disbursed.
