PROFESSOR of Sociology and Political Science and a Fellow for Education of the Stratbase ADR Institute Louie Montemar urged the government to expand the coverage of tariff breaks for electric vehicles saying that it will become a ‘real game-changer.’
The sociologist reiterated that two-wheeled vehicles are work enablers for the financially unstable Filipinos who are commuting to school or work and for those who use them on their jobs. Earlier this year, the government passed EO12 series of 2023 which seeks to suspend the tariff for EVs and their components from 5 to 30 percent to zero percent. This is, however, with the exemption of electric motorcycles which are still subject to 30 percent import duty.
The professor insists that the success stories of local producers of e-motorcycles creating green jobs for local communities can be replicated to boost local employment.
