"Philippines urged to try electric vehicles"

[Ry_Tower]

but treehuggers will say you gotta start somewhere

if not now, when?

if you don't start now, it's never gonna move forward

oh well... this is what happens when something is driven by ideology

P50,000 per battery pack. With the need to have TWO packs for each vehicle to ensure minimal downtime for the e-jeepney to offset the limited range (50 to 60 km per full charge). The battery packs required 8 hour recharging time.

Actually... here's the funny thing. They claim increased range for the batteries.

Seems like the reason the first generation one had such poor range was because it used a converted drivetrain, with a gearbox, driveshaft and live axle. The current one works much the same way as dedicated EVs do... direct drive. Which means a nearly two-fold increase in battery range.

I'm currently compiling data for an article. Can't say much more before it's written. ;)

Good day.

do you know if you can order the imiev right now at mmph, possible at cebu branch. I try to send them e-mail but no reply yet. I looking for a small electric car for the Philippines.

Do you know if they sell it? And for what price you can order the imiev?

Reva Electric Car | YugaTech | Philippines News & Tech Reviews

did some research about this company to: evnnovations | Home
but no video or no pics from this car in Philippines. All what they have is sample video. but with pics from all around the world.

Thank you

There is none available sir. Even with other brands

well you're SOL. better get an Alto or Eon. rip out the engine. run an electric motor through the stock tranny. load it up a bunch of Panasonic 18650

might do this once i finish my electric dirtbike project and off-road velomobile

[viper888]

You could get a prius c hybrid. There arent any elec cars for sale here.

What would you say about a company which buy used electric car like imiev and sell it there in the Phils. Would you have interrest?

I would be IF the supporting infrastructure is there like fast charge stations. One question I'll ask myself is if I can make a long distance trip in one with accessible charging stations along the route

well i'm not buying a nissan leaf that's been driven in arizona heat just kills the battery

imiev w/ healthy batteries would be interesting if the price is right

[dr. d]

i am curious, just how taft ave. would be, if all the cars there were electric and not fossil fueled..?
siguro, mas mabango ang hangin.. all that ozone..
heh heh.

just burn dino juice in a different car for long distance trips

for short trips around town use electric car. charge it in the house

we don't even have to go 100% electric. just get rid of jeeps, old buses and 2-stroke motorcycles

[dishcom]

Maganda sana yan. Kasi pag asa antipolo ka then tinignan mo ang metro manila e hindi clear. Parang ma usok..

I hope filipino inventor create the best battery na mabilis e charge then matagal magamit. Plus pa natin ang most efficient na dynamo for it.

On US search egine 2012 - 2013 version are below 10'000$ maybe I try to import one to test. Fast charging is the main probelm yes. But I think Philippines would be perfect. Imagine if each sari sari store would have 1-2 plug along the highway. The would be a good income to.

go for it. and please do let me know

but take note not all electric cars are suitable for the tropics. those without chilled watercooling for the batteries aren't gonna do very well here in PH. coz heat is the #1 battery killer

[minicarph]

Yeah people should go for this electric vehicles. I predict a very interesting demand for this vehicle,

[Jiggs]

Yesterday papers reoprted that a lone Japanese firm was awarded the supply of e-Trike But price is kinda steep 460-480k per unit w/ a 5year battery warranty. This is nice but I doubt common folks could afford that. Tricycles can be bought 40-70k and could last for few decades. Unless govt will subsidize this would not prosper countrywide lalo na gas prices this low😒

PH might exempt EVs from coding, prioritize them during registration
We're listening
by Drei Laurel | Mar 26, 2019





The Philippines has made great strides towards cleaning up its act when it comes to transportation. There's the Department of Transportation's (DOTR) PUV Modernization Program, which is still ongoing, as well as tax exemptions on electric car imports, just to name some of the progress—real progress—made over the past few years.

Still, more can always be done, right?

Senate Committee on Energy chair Senator Win Gatchalian, while acknowledging the Department of Energy's (DOE) promotion of electric vehicles (EV), has pointed out that the agency has done little in terms of policy to support the industry's actual growth.

With that in mind, the Senator is urging the DOE—together with the DOTr, Land Transportation Office (LTO), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)—to create a roadmap for EV adoption in the country.

"Moving forward, we want to see research. Of course, this will not be without opposition. There will be opposition, let's expect that. But we have to clearly explain the advantages of promoting e-vehicles. I expect the DOE—which is a much larger organization—should have that data. Hindi naman ho tayo puwede mag-promote nang wala ho tayong basis," Gatchalian said during a recent committee hearing on Senate Bill No. 2137 or the Electric Vehicles and Charging Stations Act.

"Iyong advantages ng [e-vehicles], it should be quantifiable, or else, it's very difficult to convince people that this is actually beneficial," he told the DOE.

Thankfully, there's plenty of incentive for the average motorist within Electric Vehicles and Charging Stations Act to seriously consider a shift to EVs.

Besides requiring private and public establishments—including gas stations—to provide dedicated parking slots with charging stations, the bill also seeks to expand other non-fiscal incentives. This includes possible exempting EVs from number coding, as well as prioritizing EVs during the registration process.

Would you trade in your gasoline or diesel car if it means being exempted from number coding? Let us know in the comments.

Sans vehicle cost, how does charging cost compare with fuel?
