THE early passage of an enabling law mandating short-term tariff suspension on electric vehicles is needed to boost the development of a budding industry, said Senator Sherwin T. Gatchalian.
However, the senator noted that the tariff suspension—set to last for five years—was intended to increase the adoption of EV usage and reduce carbon emissions. “Specifically, only kick scooters, self-balancing cycles, bicycles, and pocket motorcycles with auxiliary motors not exceeding 250 watts and with a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour have zero percent import duties while electric motorcycles are still subject to a 30 percent tariff rate,” he added.
