Laos halts combustion vehicle imports until end of 2026
Reported byElectrive ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Laos suspended new petrol and diesel vehicle imports on June 1, 2026, with exceptions for commercial transport and emergency vehicles. The government aims for EVs to represent over 30% of the vehicle fleet by 2030, backed by consumption tax exemptions for battery-electric vehicles under $50,000 and planned expansion of charging infrastructure.
The import suspension is time-limited through end-2026; long-term policy durability and charging infrastructure speed remain to be seen.
