The article is not clear how exactly they'll encourage the 1 million tricycles to go electric. Eh yung supposed implementasyon ng CNG conversions for PUVs is going nowhere itself.

CNG conversion problem is the refueling stations which is obvious to anyone.
As for tricycles going into e-trikes, the issue would be more of the driving range per full change and the length of time to re-charge to 80% and 100%.
One thing I noticed in China years ago was the relative popularity of electric scooters in the major cities. This was before the Chinese economy boomed.
Ironically, today in some of the faster growing cities, the local government has banned electric scooters as well as bicycles and scooters from the city roads to reduce traffic accidents between cars and slower two wheeled vehicles. The justification was to reduce the number of people injured/killed which also affects industrial productivity.

April 27th, 2011 03:10 PM #15yeah this is a lame excuse to prop up a dinosaur system
people should just walk, at wag na mag tricycle. kahit mainit. the singaporeans don't have tricycles and they walk to their trains.
or better yet, buy a car. afford it if not walk. i'd rather support electric mini-cars for each private individual than electric tricycles.

FAST CHARGING AND ONE TENTH THE POLLUTION
Years of development in our proprietary Z-Force™ technology make Zero Motorcycles a leader in acceleration, range and longevity. Our fast chargers are completely automatic and use a specially developed charge profile to optimize charge times. You can leave your battery on the charger for hours, days, even months (if you are away from home). It's ready to go when you are and plugs into any standard 110 or 220 volt outlet.
Electricity is a very clean and efficient form of energy. Although there is some pollution associated with the production of electricity, a Zero motorcycle will produce less than one-eighth of the CO2 pollution per mile at the power plant than a gas powered motorcycle. It will also produce 1/100th of the smog causing nitrous oxides.
FULLY RECYCLABLE POWER PACK
Zero Motorcycles uses the best practices in the EV industry to make sure all of our Lithium-Ion power packs are recycled. Each one uses a chemistry that allows us to take advantage of continuously improving battery recycling programs.
Zero power packs are fully air cooled and designed to handle the most extreme conditions. Our latest generation of Z-Force™ power pack technology uses new and more precise cell monitoring to ensure greater range, more power and better acceleration off the line.
POWERFUL ELECTRIC MOTOR
Our permanent magnet electric motor is capable of delivering instant torque from zero rpm and requires almost no maintenance.
The motor uses one-tenth the steel and half the copper of competing DC motors, and delivers one of the best power-to-size ratios in the industry.Last edited by Monseratto; April 27th, 2011 at 03:43 PM.

Parang mas ayos pa kung yung mga buses na lang sa EDSA ang gawing CNG. Mayayaman mga operators nyan compared sa mga tricycle operators. Mas kaya nila makabili.
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
