More than 40 percent of Filipinos are considering purchasing an electrified vehicle in the next 12 months, according to the Ford Motor Company survey, with most preferring hybrid technology.
Hybrid vehicle is top choiceElectrified vehicles are certainly on Filipino car buyers’ radar, but they won’t quite make the leap yet until the infrastructure is improved.
Among them were Filipino drivers and those wanting to buy a new car. The study was conducted to understand how buyers in various markets viewed electrified vehicles so that Ford could be better prepared in its pursuit of an all-electric future. Drivers in the Philippines are familiar with electrified vehicles, with most respondents classifying them as being ‘fun to drive’, ‘cool’, ‘sporty’ and even ‘easy to own’. More than 49-percent of respondents said they’d ridden in an electric vehicle with 33-percent claiming to have driven one. More than 70-percent of respondents agreed that owning an electric vehicle in the Philippines is practical.
Most respondents agreed they would be ‘more likely’ to choose an electric vehicle to provide delivery services or ride sharing, and that they would prefer an electric vehicle for their daily commute. The majority of Filipino respondents noted they wanted electrified vehicles to deliver a longer driving range and reduced maintenance costs.
