May 23rd, 2024 12:41 PM #561even as ethanol-ized gasoline is cheaper than pure gasoline,
what happens to the bottomline km/peso, when we input the lower energy content of ethanol, resulting in, i imagine, less km/liter ?

May 23rd, 2024 01:40 PM #564EV still has VAT. Something the BIR didn't want to remove.
In other countries where EV's has flourished, EV buyers get tax incentives and rebates.
Those countries also have price caps and conditions on the rebates and incentives.
Ev's in other countries are getting big price drops and discount while here there is none.
You can blame the Dealers for the EV high prices. They need to recoup some investments since EV's need and cost very little in the PMS department where most dealers get the bulk of their profits.

In the USA, aside from tax rebates, they get free charging in the first year.

in some countries... kaya nila bigyan ng incentive si Taylor Swift para sure na sa kanila lang ang concert nya
some of our neighbors did the same for future foreign acts
pero in a country like ours, malabo to ask too much from the gov't... tax free is easy, pero additional rebates will be almost impossible since mas madaming kailangan tulungan ang gov't natin.
buying an EV means zero import taxes... zero taxes from fuel and reduced taxes from yearly registration fees. malaki na masyado ang mawawala sa national treasury natin

You cannot blame the dealers who might give EV higher SRP margins, very little to earn in the aftersales services beyond some automotive oil/fluids, new certified EV tires and maybe some software updates.
Given that, hard to imagine why any auto dealer want to sell EVs at all. The extra cost of training people to service these EV vehicles plus all the new gadgets required to do it. And all of that potentially are obsolete after the next EV car model is released in four years.
I cannot wait for local insurance rates for EVs to rise.
