The Department of Energy is pushing for a faster rollout of electric vehicles in the Philippines to help reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
DOE aims to roll out around 2,454, 200 EVs comprised of cars, tricycles, and motorcycles, among others, to help save the environment and generate investments for a new industry by 2028. To promote the electrification of transport in the country, several types of EVs have also been given tax breaks under Executive Order No. 12 series of 2023 to mainstream their use among Filipinos.
According to Philippine Business for Environmental Stewardship Secretary General Felix Jose Vitangcol, the EO should be revised so Filipinos of different social classes can afford to shift to green technology amid the soaring prices of gasoline.
