    For me electric car will not materialize in our country. Big part of gov't income from taxes are from oil industries.

    "such is the plate of pioneers."

    so would be the likely pioneer?
    probably the guy who owns the electric company. much of the devil (the "fine detail", heh heh) is already under his beck and call.
    ang kulang na lang, ay oversized coin-operated plug.
    heh heh.
    realistically speaking

    why would any businessman deploy capital to build charging stations when there's no demand?

    unless you're a businessman planning to import thousands of e-cars and you also build the infrastructure to assure your customers they have places to charge

    that will involve tons of money and is a MAJOR gamble

    yes Meralco CAN build charging stations

    question is not CAN but WILL

    the third line.
    the infrastructure is already there, disguised as poste ng meralco.
    coin-operated washing machine-type of technololgy. and probably just as cheap to put up and maintain.
    madalang na may costumer? fine. hindi naman kumukunsomo ng kuryente or gaas kapag hindi ginagamit, e.

    gosh. i hope the guy remembers this thread and gives me some sort of ...reward...

    which guy? hehe!

    Re Meralco, I would assume they would be in the best position to act on such an infrastructure given they are a distributor of electricity and not just a producer. They toyed with the idea by having a sample charging station in the Meralco compound in Ortigas and the electric toy car that can't be registered in LTO because it isn't an ICE (this was one issue I recall that was a stumbling block for all electric car because the OR asks for displacement when an all electric doesn't have one)

    Alternatively, maybe since Nissan PH supposedly is bringing in the car, they'd build some first in their showroom lots for the meantime. The next step, I don't know but they should partner with ride sharing companies like Grab to make the vehicles more ubiquitous to spread the vehicles out more.

    Whatever happens, is just going to happen. But we know the red tape that exists here so who really knows. =) I'm hopeful. But as long as some reliable car company is able to bring in a 100+ mile range electric car along with a means to install a home based charging station, it will be a start. Hopefully, the system can connect to 220volts and a standard size 20 amp circuit. I don't think fast charging is the end all be all for an electric city car (at least to me as someone considering it). I can use such a range for 2 days, use ICE on the 3rd day while the electric car is allowed to charge at home. 4th and 5th day use electric again, back to ICE on weekends. =) At least that's how I see it.

    The infrastructure outside the home can come as it will come after. That just makes longer travels viable for electric vehicles. =)

    PH is actually going backwards

    while the developed world is phasing out diesel passenger cars, PH demand for diesel passenger cars is stronger than ever

    ayan ah... i'm steering this thread back to topic

    Agree. I hope that our government and lawmakers do something about it for health and for environment.
