Will electric vehicles survive Philippine traffic?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining traction in the Philippines as the country seeks to address its growing environmental concerns and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. With the government's push for cleaner and more sustainable transportation options, EV adoption is on the rise.

Major cities like Manila are witnessing an increase in the number of charging stations and a wider range of EV models available to consumers. This shift towards electric mobility not only helps mitigate air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to the country's energy security by reducing its reliance on imported oil.

While challenges such as infrastructure development and affordability remain, the Philippines is gradually embracing the promise of electric vehicles as a cleaner and more efficient means of transportation for its people.
