    For EV batteries we have already Chinese , South Korean , German French consortium manufacturing in Indonesia and the downstreaming are increasing by the day. Nickel , Cobalt, Silica sand, Gold , Silver, Copper, SGA for Aluminium , Tin , Carbon steel plates , Stainless steel plates . Last month we have also innaugurated the Lithium processing plants with Australia ores , Congo ores etc. For Africa mineral we do have cooperation where our MIN ID invest in those countries . We are also looking for oppourtunities in Peru and other South American countries for Lithium. So combining with our abundant renewable energy sources such as Geothermal, Hydropower , Solar, Wind , Green Ammonia, Green , LNG, Hydrogen , Thorium . We are optimizing them for producing cheap energy to supply to our several smelters to build the EV., yes Chinese companies have already coming here to invest (4 of them ) and as well as From South Korea, France and Germany because we have the raw material that they need . Don't forget Indonesia has also the consumers market . We intend to slowly phased out ICE cars like Norway and go all the way for EV, Hybrid EV, Green Hydrogen. once the network of EV charging network are installed we will have both the production capacity as well as consumers from 280 Million people. for Buses, Trucks, Cars and Motorcycles. We haven't talk about our Bio Fuels and Methane hydrate deposits that can produce clean methane gas for power generation . We have found deposits that can last for hundred of years , 120,000 MT Uranium and more Rare Earth Minerals. Once you control the down streaming , then you can have an edge on EV China knows our strategic role , location and stance for China security of safe sea passage from Indian Ocean to Pacific Ocean.

    14.8 million tons of Lithium ORE which only contains 0.45% of Lithium or just 66,000 tons.

    The benefit for Thailand over Indonesia is the large Chinese diaspore that has existed there for centuries plus the lack of mercury poisoning or plumes of burning plastic poisoning the locals

      No, their grandchildren have been completely assimilated into the Mainstream Thai society. They no longer regard themselves as Chinese. Some who were educated in the West even bought into the Anti-China narrative!

    Thailand has 0% import tax on Chinese EV’s due to their trade agreement with China. So I think it’s unlikely that we see other EV manufacturers than BYD in Thailand for the moment, they have an overcapacity in China so they need to export their EV’s.
    Thailand has a huge import tax on car produced outside ASEAN, so an export to the US is highly unlikely without a high import tariff

      So much over capacity that they are selling the same car (BYD Seal) for €44,900 in Europe, €36,000 in Thailand and €23,000 in China. That is some kind of lousy dumping policy
