Hybrids and EV

True. we still have to wait for Tesla to Officially enter our market. I can't wait for them to implement the Direct to Consumer selling strategy here in the Phil.

The pricing of the Grey market Teslas is varied.
before the EO12, Hans was selling the Model 3 for over 4M pesos. After the EO12 passed they lowered it to 3.9M . While newer importer ANIS (Same company daw that has Taxis/REntal fleet) is selling the Model 3 for 2.9M only. Warranty is claimed to them accdg to both Hancars and ANIS. it both comes with Home Wall charger. Wasnt able to ask about battery warranty thou.

this is why I find the list funny... imagine asking a traffic enforcer to memorize the "list" - in the real world, until we see a special plate for EVs and Hybrids, just show the enforcer the OR/CR, tell them its a hybrid and they probably will let you go.

funny story. around end of the holy week (2023)... I know a Vespa rider who was stopped and ticketed for "illegal modification"

his mod... bar end side mirrors

according to my friend, the enforcer told him that only XXX and XXX (yes only 2 motorcycles released locally) had official bar end side mirrors. the Vespa was not in the list, hence... his set-up is an illegal mod

they don't have to memorize it, as all they have to do is bring with them the list.
consult the list, if in doubt.
eventually, mame-memorya rin nila yan.

so yes,
having a different plate number for these vehicles appears to be the logical move.
alas, our suppliers of number plates appear to have difficulty supplying us with the ordinary plates... what more for special plates for EVs and hybrids...

correct me if i am in the wrong, but
is there a written rule regarding the characteristics of an LTO-acceptable side mirror for motorcycles and scooters?
ang alam ko kasi, ay wala.
basta dapat meron. maski pops.

According to auto-vloggers they just tell the enforcer "hybrid sir/maam". The enforcer doesn't even bother to check the OR/CR nor look behind for the "Hybrid" badge. And whats stopping unscrupolous and enterprising Pinoys from simply buying/selling "Hybrid" badges and sticking them?

Sorry for the OT:

ang alam din namin basta you have a side mirror on each side... ok na

anyway.. tapos na. nahuli at nag multa na sya. nakaka-inis/tawa lang since ang mahal ng bili nya sa mirrors nya

demand for the CR and see if "hybrid" or "EV" is on the document.

but truly, the more effective move is to issue color-coded number plates to these special vehicles.

parang duktor.
"PRC ID po please?"

actually... the older Okavango's didn't even have a "hybrid" badge... it just says 48V

Tesla is not on the list, meaning they only recognize those that were legally sold locally.
Since imported lang mga yan, walang local certification/homulogation or whatever certification required ng gov't natin for the vehicles that will be legally sold sa atin.
Also, walang nakuhang excise tax gov't natin sa mga imported units na to, possibly ngang dumaan sa backdoor ibang units nito.
So makatarungan lang na hindi siya included sa list.

Kahit hindi naman included sa list yung tesla sa exempted sa coding walang effect naman yun sa mga owners nito, hehehehe. Dami nilang extra cars.

Just saw a pure EV car sporting an ordinary black over white plate.
