That hasn't changed much, and still won't change much. The cheapest electric-only vehicle that meets crash and highway safety standards on the market is the Nissan Leaf, which costs three times as much as the Versa it's based on.

Add local taxes to the price of the Leaf and it would cost 2.5 million pesos.

A tax exemption brings it down to 1.5 million pesos. I doubt oil companies will be losing sleep over millions of Filipinos paying 1.5m for a car that's smaller than the Almera.

Hopefully maimplement.

Pero ang prius ng Toyota mahal pa rin, mas tipid pa kung bibili ka ng montero na GLS. Yung savings sa cost magagamit mo for about 5yrs sa fuel kaysa sa mga hybrid.
