@Norobiik EV is fine as long as you have a backup gas car. Plug in hybrid should be the future. Activists demanding all EVs right now are going to lead to a Cuba type situation where old cars are precious and kept forever.

@[email protected] Agree on the plug in hybrid EV variant. Specially where I live where public charging stations are currently non-existent. Though that may change over time as the modernization drive to shift from traditional passenger jeepneys to electric ones takes hold.

The transition will take quite a bit of time though. Those electric jeepneys aren’t cheap.
