Yossapong Laoonual is the honorary president of the Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand and a prominent advocate for the transition to electric vehicles in Southeast Asia. He is affiliated with King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in Bangkok, where he promotes initiatives aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. Laoonual believes that sticking to internal combustion engines is akin to clinging to horse-drawn carriages long after motor vehicles became the norm. His optimism reflects the Thai government's aggressive push to position the country as a key player in the electric vehicle market, with ambitious plans to increase electric vehicle sales and reduce air pollution.
