00:00 President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Department of Energy and the Ministry of Energy to buy the vehicles for the many people who use electric vehicles in the country.
00:09 Here is my first news.
00:11 Along with the last day of consolidation for the Jeep demodernization,
00:18 President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Energy Department and the Ministry of Energy to buy the vehicles for the many people who use electric vehicles.
00:27 According to the DOE of 2023, there are less than 7,000 registered electric vehicles in the country.
00:34 Less than 1% of the more than 14 million registered vehicles in the country are not yet registered.
00:38 The main reason for this is the higher price of electric vehicles, which is more expensive than 20 to 50%.
00:45 We just have to address the worries if there will be a transition.
00:50 That is the upfront cost, where can we charge, what can we save or spend, and if there is financing available for that.
01:00 If a normal modern Jeep is worth 2 million pesos, for example, the same electric Jeep is worth up to 3 million pesos,
01:09 but it will be compensated for with a lower cost of gasoline or crude oil every day.
01:14 The DOE is willing to pay 5 pesos per kilometer of gasoline for diesel, 11 pesos per kilometer, but for electric vehicles, less than 2 pesos per kilometer.
01:25 Electric vehicles have 65% lower operating costs than the traditional conventional vehicles, PUVs.
01:37 We estimate that we will have 2.4 million savings over a 15-year period using electric vehicles for public transportation.
01:49 The plan to replace electric vehicles is to replace 10% of government-owned vehicles.
01:54 Some steps to make more people use electric vehicles were laid by the government,
01:59 such as suspending import tariffs, excise tax exemption, priority in processing LTO and LTFRB, and
02:07 we have electric vehicles exempted from the vehicle volume reduction scheme or the number coding scheme.
02:14 So if we were caught by MMDA number coding, if we see an electric vehicle, there is no offense, it is exempted.
02:22 Aside from fixing infrastructure such as charging stations, part of the program is to train more workers
02:28 so that there will be a priority in manufacturing electric vehicles and batteries used in these.
