A clean air advocate and university general science instructress has backed the move to incentivize the use of EVs to help mainstream their use among the commuting Filipinos.

Chemist and university professor Abigail Arillaga said that while the adoption of EVs has pros and cons, its introduction to the country can help reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses which are harmful to the environment.“In the Philippines, sad to say kung hindi natin mai-incentivize [if we can’t incentivize], it will be difficult to persuade others to patronize this product over the traditional one or over the other,” Arilaga said.

Motorcycles hold the majority of numbers among motorists in the country as the Land Transportation Office recorded around eight million registered motorcycles nationwide. According to the Statista Research Department, the power production in the Philippines is still dominated by coal at 47.6 percent, other fossils at 18 percent, and gas at 10.7 percent, which totals 76.3 percent.
