An environmental group has emphasized the urgency of improving air quality in the country and stated that transitioning to electric vehicles will accelerate the nation’s decarbonization efforts.
“This will allow more of the majority of the public access to affordable transportation…Also, this can minimize what I believe [is] a major issue of pollution in highly urbanized [communities], idling in traffic,” said Mr. Jeremiah Dwight Sebastian, PCAPI Vice President for External Affairs.
“The point here is there is a need for stakeholders and [implementers] to communicate and also capacitate enforcers to avoid miscommunication and implement this properly,” Sebastian added. The Department of Energy aims to introduce 2,454,200 EVs by 2028, including cars, tricycles, motorcycles, and buses. The agency also plans to establish 65,000 charging stations nationwide.
