However, at that time, the electric vehicle industry in Thailand was still in its nascent stage, and the implementation and enforcement of related policies faced various challenges.

Mr. Suroj, along with his team, tirelessly engaged with government bodies and relevant organizations to provide feedback, negotiate, and offer suggestions on issues ranging from electric vehicle subsidies to localizing component production and developing the electric vehicle ecosystem, including charging stations. His efforts and contributions have established him as an exemplary figure and a leader in the Thai electric vehicle industry.

As the Chief of the EV Charging Station Installation and Maintenance Business Department at the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), I bring 17 years of extensive experience to the role. My primary responsibilities include seeking opportunities to expand EV charging infrastructure across Thailand through strategic partnerships, overseeing the installation of EV charging stations under the Elex by EGAT brand, and ensuring the maintenance and operational efficiency of these stations. My commitment to advancing Thailand's EV charging network is driven by a dedication to sustainable energy solutions and technological innovation.
