The problem for those who live in condos still persists however

is a nissan leaf comparable to a civic or corolla in size? even if they price it "right" i am interested to see if it can make a sales dent sa preferred vehicles ng karamihan ngayon na lifestyle pickup or suv.. at 1.9m ka ballpark niya kasi price range.

ano ba "tamang price" ng car na exempted sa coding and di na gagamit ng gas kahit kelan?

personally... I don't think gusto ng Nissan maging mainstream locally yung leaf.

sweet spot is less than 500 units/year.

kasi more cars will require them to train more technicians (PMS)
tapos lalabas mga problem nung car na di naman kasalanan ng Nissan PH (like it uses the Japanese standard charging port)

iv'e seen a nissan leaf before ph launch in new zealand. for me it's close to size of a current generation corolla hatchback.

i don't know the answer to your question mainly kasi nga sa personal preference involved but dun din ako interesado, aside from price being similar what would it take for your ave. filipino buyer to sway them away from the popular pickup at suv

So if zero na, meaning 1.9m na dapat price ni Leaf?

Parang tumugma ng kunti computation ko last january 2023 ng price slash ng Leaf.

I could definitely see value in taking this small electric car on short errands around town. Then using your bigger internal-combustion car for heavy lifting or long distances...

Any leads?

i posted this way back in 2014. after almost 10yrs meron na rin at last

This looks interesting too. Around $11k USD daw and 300-400km range, size of a Wigo or Mirage.
With current tax exemptions on EVs baka pwede ipasok at 600-700k?

No price can convince stubborn pinoys that Electric cars are the way of the future.

kahit below 1M yan, i don't see a lot of people moving from their ICE vehicles. palagi yan may pintas porket mahal palitan ang battery, sira agad pag nabaha, hindi reliable, baka ma koryente sila sa loob ng kotse, kapos daw sa range, kulang pa infrastructure for recharging. And the list goes on.

Honestly, i am already looking at an Electric vehicle before the EV law lapses and the prices of these cars skyrockets again.

Still waiting for Tesla to start offering their products here at their business model of direct selling to customers which eliminates the middle man that would only mean a cheaper car in the process and no more price gouging (Looking at Toyota

)

many years ago,
no one envisioned that current ordinary digital cameras would offer so much more resolution than film, and in light situations that are so low that films couldn't possibly function in them...
i do not remember when i last saw a flash go off while someone was taking a picture indoors, under somewhat subdued light.
