The development of electric vehicles is accelerating at a rapid pace across the automotive industry. This is more so in the two-wheeler domain due to the low cost of ownership and operation of the vehicles, simplicity in design, and their adaptability to different environments. The future success of these vehicles depends on the mass deployment in the world's biggest markets, including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Driving this change towards mass electrification of two-wheelers are factors including rise in pollution levels, increasing stringency in government emission norms, the rise in the millennial and Gen ‘Z’ population, and the demand from end-customers for more efficient and technologically advanced vehicles.

This research focuses on key countries in the ASEAN region, namely Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Each country's growth drivers and restraints are discussed in detail, in addition to that of the overall industry, grouped under development timeframes ranging from 1 to 5 years on issues relating to government policy, charging infrastructure, mobility services, manufacturing, and other key elements.
