However, although EVs have many advantages. But admit that traveling by EV car may be a bit more difficult to plan a trip. Because of the limitations of electric charging stations that are still not covered and as many as gas stations and do not know where the coordinates of the electric car charging station are And will it reach the destination or not? With these problems, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has developed the EleXA application that will act as an assistant in finding station coordinates. This will make traveling by EV easier and hassle-free. Just download EGAT’s EleXA application that collects the coordinates of all electric charging stations of all camps into one app, including EGAT’s ELeX by EGAT stations and partner stations in the EleXa network. 87 stations including charging stations of many other agencies across the country Allows you to plan your trip without worry. Before traveling, it is fully charged. Ready, go and explore 4 trips from the EV GO project, a deal-closing trip organized by the Ministry of Energy and EGAT that has taken the trippers driving EVs to travel to prove the convenience of EVs with direct experience.
