Thailand looks set to construct a zinc-ion battery plant to support electric vehicles (EVs) and utilise its own domestic resources.
According to Janekrishna Kanatharana, executive director of the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi) and vice-president of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Thailand intends to develop its own technology for a zinc-ion battery.
"Thailand has a rich reserve of zinc," said Mr Janekrishna. "It is considered more appropriate for Thailand to manufacture and promote zinc-ion battery production than lithium, which we have to import."
