An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

If Toyota or Mitsubishi will release a cheap electric vehicle here, more folks will switch to electric. Vehicle brand loyalty here is high. Many Filipinos buy Toyota or Mitsubishi.

Creating public chargers will be so pricy. It'll cost millions. Idk who'll pay for it. But if the rich folks will figure it out, I think it'll need to be staffed to prevent theft and vandalism, unlike some nations where public chargers are unstaffed. I think this expense will be passed on to electric vehicle owners.

The goal will be – There must be no low-🔋 worry when going from, say, Laguna ➡️ Baguio.

I think Big oil here won't just be idle. They may fight the electric vehicle boom to protect their ₱ cow – oil.

Same thoughts but this may not even be possible dito sa PH at least in the near future. Matagal mag-adapt ang PH pagdating sa new tech. Pwede naman mag EV kana now basta ba limited lang travel mo dahil wala pa charge stations. Aside from PH related issues, kelangan din ng improvement sa battery. Nababawasan longetivity ng battery pag mas mainit. Kung gusto mo ng stable at pang matagalan, gas car pa din ang best (or only?) choice. YMMV kung EV (no pun intended).
