Thailand: the EV assembly hub
Southeast Asia is China's right-hand-drive EV workshop, and Thailand — the "Detroit of Southeast Asia" — is its centre. Chinese-made cars accounted for roughly 85% of Thailand's EV sales in 2024, and BYD sold about 24,000 units in H1 2025, roughly four times its nearest rival. BYD's Rayong plant (around 150,000 units a year) opened in 2024, GWM upgraded a former GM plant in Rayong, and MG/SAIC also assembles locally. Under the EV3.5 policy running to 2027, subsidies were trimmed and tied to local assembly, imported EVs lost benefits and face higher excise, and Chinese makers began raising 2026 prices as the incentives tapered.
Indonesia and Malaysia
Indonesia is the other manufacturing pillar: BYD went from nothing to a top-four automaker and commands close to half the country's EV market, with a roughly $1 billion plant in Subang, West Java. From January 2026, incentives apply only to locally produced EVs meeting a 40% local-content threshold that rises over the decade. Malaysia became the region's largest overall market in 2025 at over 820,000 vehicles, with 21 Chinese brands and 58 models on sale; Chery was the best-selling Chinese brand in H1 2025 (led by the Jaecoo J7) and BYD led the EV segment. BYD is building a CKD facility in Tanjung Malim (operational H2 2026) and Chery is investing in a Selangor industrial park, while Geely backs the national brand Proton.
Vietnam and the wider region
Vietnam is the exception: domestic champion VinFast dominates with around 175,000 units in 2025, and Chinese brands remain small there against a strong home player — though one Chinese automaker has committed an $800 million factory to challenge it. Regionally, Chinese-branded sales across the four main markets rose about 58% year on year in Q1 2025. The Philippines and Singapore see lighter penetration, with GAC, MG, Chery and BYD present. The strategic prize is that ASEAN plants increasingly export onward — including to Europe.
Figures span 2024–2025 by market as noted (sources: local industry data, company releases).
泰国：电动车组装枢纽
东南亚是中国车企的右舵电动车工坊，而有"东南亚底特律"之称的泰国是其中心。2024 年中国制造汽车约占泰国电动车销量的 85%，比亚迪 2025 上半年售出约 2.4 万辆，约为第二名的四倍。比亚迪罗勇（Rayong）工厂（年产能约 15 万辆）2024 年投产，长城升级了罗勇的前通用工厂，MG/上汽也在当地组装。在延续至 2027 年的 EV3.5 政策下，补贴被削减并与本地组装挂钩，进口电动车失去优惠并面临更高消费税，中国厂商也随补贴退坡开始上调 2026 年售价。
印尼与马来西亚
印尼是另一制造支柱：比亚迪从零起步跃升为前四大车企，占据当地电动车市场近半份额，并在西爪哇 Subang 建有约 10 亿美元工厂。自 2026 年 1 月起，激励仅适用于满足 40% 本地含量门槛（该门槛在本十年内逐步提高）的本地生产电动车。马来西亚 2025 年以逾 82 万辆成为区域最大整体市场，在售的中国品牌达 21 个、车型 58 款；奇瑞是 2025 上半年最畅销的中国品牌（由 Jaecoo J7 领衔），比亚迪领跑电动细分。比亚迪正在丹戎马林（Tanjung Malim）建设 CKD 工厂（2026 下半年投产），奇瑞在雪兰莪投资工业园，吉利则扶持国民品牌 Proton。
越南与更广区域
越南是例外：本土冠军 VinFast 以 2025 年约 17.5 万辆占据主导，中国品牌在强势本土玩家面前体量尚小——不过已有一家中国车企承诺投资 8 亿美元建厂发起挑战。区域层面，四大主要市场的中国品牌销量在 2025 年一季度同比增长约 58%。菲律宾与新加坡渗透较轻，广汽、MG、奇瑞、比亚迪均有布局。战略价值在于：东盟工厂正日益向外出口——包括欧洲。
