BANGKOK: Thailand’s biggest electric-vehicle (EV) venture has stayed mostly in gear during the Covid-19 pandemic, with Energy Absolute Pcl continuing construction on a lithium-ion battery plant and vehicle development. The company’s EV-boat prototypes are now being river-tested.
The firm encountered some disruptions stemming from the government’s state-of-emergency measures and business closures, which affected various projects in different ways, according to Amorn Sapthaweekul, Energy Absolute’s deputy chief executive officer.
