Abstract

This paper examines the challenges and opportunities surrounding the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Philippines. While EVs offer environmental and economic benefits, including reduced emissions and lower operating costs, their widespread implementation faces barriers such as limited charging infrastructure, high battery costs, and dependence on global supply chains. Addressing these obstacles requires policy support, infrastructure expansion, and technological innovation tailored to the Philippine context.
