The group said shifting to electric vehicles will push forward the country's decarbonization efforts.PCAPI was responding to the statement of National Economic Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan that Executive Order No. 12 which grants incentives to EVs, will be up for review in February 2024.Balisacan's announcement came after several stakeholders sought the amendment of the presidential order to include e-motorcycles in the tax break.
'Only more affluent Filipinos, indeed a limited segment of the population, can afford to buy four-wheel vehicles and hence enjoy these incentives. This is why the government must make these tax incentives more inclusive,' Vitangcol said.PCAPI said granting tax incentives to e-motorcycles will allow the majority of the Filipino population to shift to affordable and eco-friendly transportation.
