We are fighting for EVs, but we haven't taken any action or authority.
00:17
Because EVs are still in a very new level.
00:21
In our country, there are less than 10,000 EVs.
00:25
So, we need to fight for people to start using EVs.
00:33
And the ecosystem needs to be implemented and built.
00:36
Including the cleaning system and so on.
00:39
And that is one of the things that we are taking action on as a whole of government approach.
00:46
That's why in the implementation of EV industry,
00:51
it's not just involving any ministries.
00:54
The Ministry of Transport is a part of the implementation that we need to do.
01:00
For example, we have re-examined the road tax for EVs, which I will announce soon.
01:06
We have asked the EV Task Force to ensure that the road tax structure for EVs
01:13
is more competitive and not burdening.
01:19
So that it can encourage more people to buy EVs.
01:25
So, I think we are encouraging people to buy EVs.
01:29
But it requires a long term effort.
01:35
And it's not easy for such a big shift from conventional vehicles to EVs.
01:42
It requires continuous efforts from various parties.
01:46
And of course, the Ministry of Transport will continue to support government efforts
01:50
and the government's base for EV development.
01:54
[inaudible]
01:58
There is no road tax now.
02:00
Until 2025, there will be no road tax.
02:05
[inaudible]
02:07
No, it's like this.
02:09
So far, I think it's been two years, 2022 if I'm not mistaken.
02:15
At that time, the Ministry of Finance issued a road tax exemption for EVs
02:20
for a road tax for three years.
02:23
So it will be until 2025.
02:26
But there are many people who are upset that the road tax structure is very high.
02:32
They are worried that after the road tax exemption period is over,
02:36
they will have to pay a high road tax.
02:40
So I have already answered a few months ago
02:43
that we will review the road tax.
02:47
So the road tax structure has already been put forward to the EV Task Force.
02:53
A road tax that is cheaper than before.
02:56
So we will announce soon the road tax structure.
03:01
Before the end of this year, we will announce the road tax structure
03:04
which will only be used after the road tax exemption period is over.
