Gatchalian pushes for electric vehicle adoption roadmap 180 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Hannah TorregozaSenator Sherwin Gatchalian has urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to draft a roadmap that aims to promote electric vehicle adoption in the country. But we have to clearly explain the advantages of promoting e-vehicles,” Gatchalian said. The lawmaker said it is imperative to come up with a comprehensive plan to ensure the promotion of the adoption of electric vehicles and the sustainability of the e-vehicle ecosystem in the long run. The measure also seeks to expand non-fiscal incentives—such as exemption from number coding and prioritization in registration—and institutionalizes time-bound fiscal incentives for manufacturers and importers of electric vehicles.
