They're actually the same, just with different badging.

Tinga said the COMET costs P250,000 per unit and in contrast, cheaper than the P700,000 for a regular diesel engine jeepney.

The e-jeeps are also cheaper to operate with a daily cost of P200 battery lease and P400 electricity cost, 40 percent less than that of diesel-fed counterparts.

they should first remedy or better yet fix the e-jeepney's potential route (like manila, if ever) wherein floods are a perennial problem. drivers love diesel engines (along with the submersible jeepney body) because it can easily ford knee-deep floods.

of course unless they can redesign the COMET to be able to ford knee deep waters. hehehe

I think kaya hindi ma push ang electric car e dahil sa problem sa battery.. Wala pang nagawang battery na 2min charging then makaka takbo na ng 300km.. Unlike kasi sa petrol engine na 2min na karga e makaka takbo na ng 150km.. Ones nagawa ang fast charging battery. Sure lalabas na amg mga electric car..

Don Bosco engineering students' electric vehicle. They should get in touch with industrial design students to redesign the body.

Toyota promises long-range solid-state batteries in EVs by early 2020s | Autoweek
July 25, 2017

Toyota has only recently expressed interest in pure electrics, as opposed to plug-in hybrids, but a new report says the auto giant is planning to leapfrog early electric car leaders by debuting an EV with all-solid-state batteries by 2022. The Japanese daily Chunichi Shimbun (via Reuters) reports that Toyota is focusing on this technology, distinct from lithium-ion batteries, in an effort to market a car with a significantly longer range and a shorter recharge time.

Solid-state batteries also hold the promise of offering roughly twice the energy density of lithium-ion and other "liquid" batteries per pound, which makes their use in EVs attractive once the technology is perfected and commercialized.

More importantly, solid-state batteries also hold the promise of being recharged in minutes, instead of the quickest fast-chargers being able to juice up a lithium-ion car battery in half an hour.

I hope that happens because to me it is still a long shot, that is, batteries are way behind in satisfying the demands of new technologies.

current batteries are fine. tesla just showed the first 30 units of their $35k Model 3. their cheapest car but still quite expensive from a 3rd world perspective

but current lithium-ion tech is already mature enough for vehicle use. i could definitely see myself having an electric mini hatchback in the next 5 years, for backup-car purposes. for daily short trips around town.

since EV adoption is super-slow here in PH i'll probably just convert a hyundai EON or something to electric

fossil fuels will go down big time once electric cars becomes the norm in 21st world countries, developing ones will take a little bit more time..

Meralco launches first ever electric vehicle charging station in PH | Auto Industriya

***

Just remembered an old news that Meralco has a vehicle charging station...

Question ko is may local standard na ba tayo on how to connect your electric car sa charger?

Can you bring an electric car to Meralco and expect na pwede mo icharge yung car mo directly?

So does an ejeep (like the Comet) use the same plug used for a Tesla/Leaf?

[kinyo]

next year siguro meron na Mitsubishi i-MiEV noh?

Interesting. An electric Aurelio, a funky owner type jeep and a certain Tsikoteer.

^I wonder how long will the battery last in EDSA traffic with A/C, sounds, lights and wipers on...

[WallyWest]

Hybrid rather than fully electric is more feasible in our traffic situation.

grabe pag nagmura na electric vehicles..... imagine the benefits...

no more leaks....

no more oil change.....

Toyota: Solid-State Batteries Likely to Arrive in 2030 | WardsAuto
Roger Schreffler
May 21, 2018

Q: Switching to pure EVs, what is the biggest problem moving forward?

Shinzuo Abe, general manager of Toyota’s powertrain division: For me personally, it is the battery including cost, size, weight and deterioration characteristics.

Q: That’s lithium-ion batteries?

Abe: Yes. The second problem is charging. We need to make it possible for users to charge their cars with no inconvenience.

Q: Could you go through the battery cost numbers, then, for an EV with a 400-km or 250-mile range?

Abe: For an EV to have a cruising distance of 400 km (250 miles), it would probably need a 40-50 kWh battery depending on the size and weight of the car. For a compact car like the Prius, 40 kWh is probably enough.

For the sake of this discussion, if batteries cost ¥20/wH ($0.18/Whr), multiply that by 40,000 or 50,000 times and you get ¥800,000 or ¥1 million ($7,338 or $9,173). If the battery is ¥30/wH ($0.28), then the cost would increase to ¥1.2 million or ¥1.5 million ($9,173 or $13,760).

If we expect costs to fall by half in 2025, which is a difficult target, it won’t necessarily lead to volume sales of pure-electric cars. It is not so simple as the cost of batteries coming down. The cars themselves must appeal to consumers.

Q: We were led to believe that Toyota will introduce solid-state batteries in the early 2020 period. Many observers do not believe that is possible and that a more realistic timeframe is 2030.

Abe: Yes, we did say we are starting this initiative and want to make solid-state batteries available in the early part of the 2020s decade. But in fact, that won’t be on a mass-production basis. We will begin with small-lot and trial production. We would never experiment on customers. Like you said, 2030 might be a more realistic timeframe.
