September 5th, 2022 12:06 PM #191Per update in telephone convo. Hotline and initial escalation sabi walang exemption ang EV and Hybrid. Pero when insisted na RA11697 is a National Law and can't be overruled by a memorandum or ordinance, new escalation to return call again when available yung higher up. hehe!
EDIT 1: Calling the MMDA numbers. From hotline -> Office of the Chairman -> Office of the Chairman escalation (return call) -> To Traffic Discipline Office -> To Traffic Discipline Office Director Escalation... Waiting for their attorney/legal department feedback and need to Return Call. Hehe!
After matapos ito LGU query naman with QC and Makati to be on the safe side din para walang sabit. Para di umabot sa punta na lilipad yung 15k to 35k special plate application fee na hindi mo naman pala kelangan.
By RA 11697, the exemption is automatic and should be enforced for 8 years after effectivity of act. Since it lapsed into law April 15, 2022. Sec33 Effecitivity states 15 days after. So April 30,2022 to April 30,2030 wala dapat effect ang any UVVRP programs or ordinances ng any agency or LGU to Hybrids and EVs.
Ang tanong ko, panu yung mga MHEV tulad ng Okavango na reliant mainly of ICE engine and mainly additional "Boost" or torque lang ang Li-ion or capacitors nila? Damay din ba sila? Kasi walang specificity ang hybrid electric vehicle na mention sa definition of terms. As the definition in the law, Hybrid-electric Vehicles (HEV) refers to a vehicle with both rechargeable energy storage system and a fueled power source for propulsion.
On reading, damay kahit MHEV ka lang din. That should apply sa may stop-start system kasi may "rechargable" energy storage system like Mazda? Kasi the storage is capacitor type. Walang specific exclusion for those.
EDIT 2: As per MMDA TDO Director's Office. Per their Attorneys/Legal Division, although asa law na niya, posted on Official Gazette website ng PH government, as of this time, wala pa din black and white na IRR ang RA 11697 kaya di pa maenforce/effective. So pag may IRR na si RA 11697 tsaka na revisit yung exemption.

September 5th, 2022 12:59 PM #193Haha! Oo nga. kasi hindi for propulsion yung gas engine. asa gitna ng BEV and HEV definitions. di din PHEV. haha!
Pero kung gugustuhin nila Mazda and Geely, pwede dapat nila ilaban in support of their models na MHEV or yung may capacitor "start-stop" systems na kasali sila just by definition ng batas. Unless yung IRR sabihin na dapat you can move the vehicle a minimum of X kms using Electric power alone to count as a HEV. Kaso papalag si Toyota naman kung ganun. Haha!

2nd... pwede ka bumili ng non-hybrid Cross tapos lagyan mo ng Hybrid emblem
best solution talaga is a special plate.
kawawa lang yung mga maagang bumili

September 6th, 2022 01:45 PM #197Update from friend.
He is "experimenting" with "Charge Mode" when he is near his garage/home or destination of his drive when he sees that he is just at "1bar" of EV charge. That way he is at least around 2bars or below 3 bars charge before shutting off the car.
The reason he states is that during cold start after being parked for a long time, when trying to engage "Charge Mode", the screen tells him engine is not yet in optimal operating temperature to engage charge mode. And since the manual does mention about "not good" for battery to be drained as it will cause e-Power/vehicle to not start, he thinks it might be best to consider utilizing Charge Mode in such manner because of followign:
- it will at least mean engine is in optimal operating temp when it is charging his batteries before he completely turns it off and not use the vehicle anymore for the day
- He won't be fully charging the battery meaning in ECO/Sport Mode, maximum efficiency for regen braking is still enabled. The book states if the battery is "close to full" that regen braking is limited/reduced.
- When the does do a "cold start", with EV battery at 2 levels minimum, it will at least allow the engine to "smartly" start for it to reach ideal operating temperatures first, instead of just suddenly being asked to charge a low Li-on battery. Car does not know if and when the driver is already going to park the car so he thinks he has to engage the charge mode appropriately to help it achieve more "ideal" conditions.
Charge mode does drop the Fuel Economy near tail end of his trip but is still efficient at least. The Drive History has a per minute average read out which is how he can see the Economy per interval of time. Maximum of the readout is broken down for 20minutes most recent travel. This is separate from the Drive History Average FC for the "last 5 trips" that displays when you completely shut off the car.
Friend has also started using Eco Mode + B regen for maximum efficiency. In order to minimize neck whips during hard regen braking of Eco Mode, he has found just maintaining "light pressure" on the accelerator allows Regen Braking to be smoother while still sending power back to the battery. He has not perfected it and still experiences sometimes the head bob if he doesn't engage the accelerator correctly, but he is adjusting accordingly and the head bobs are fewer now.
He still can't bring it far though because he only has SI on hand. So for now, just on his current route/area where it doesn't pose much of an issue to use the car.

nice update
hopefully he can share with us his fuel consumption once the engine has broken in.

September 6th, 2022 03:21 PM #200On this note, presently system is showing his "worst" portion of drive during the "Charge Mode" at around 9km/l. This is the situation he mentioned where he tries to raise the battery from 1 bar or below to 2 bars filled at least or a little around "2.5 bars" per the readout from the dashboard.
But on next day even with a cold start, he can do a trip of around +/-2.5 kms short trip from home to a nearby store/shop/bank in his area, regular city conditions (no rush hour traffic) before he gets there. The car is showing he still has around 1 bar of battery starting from 2 bars and the engine won't need to "charge" his battery at all when he got to his destination. System showing his FC at peak 30km/l during that stint but the bar chart maxes out at 30km/l already. the live readout during regen just displays 99.9km/l per his update. So he can really give me a more accurate FC during his first full tank again. At present he hasn't even reached a total of 30kms with his full tank on the car because there is no OR/CR yet. Just using the car when possible but limited use.
Too worried to go far at risk of being flagged down with just SI and complete insurance with TPL.
thank you its good naka timing chain pala. yan din concerns ko sa used car like sa dati kong...
