The electric vehicle industry now has a single voice

The fledgling electric vehicle (EV) industry now has a single voice, the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines or EVAP. The group is composed mainly of EV manufacturers, assemblers, distributors, suppliers, advocates, enthusiasts and even members of the academe.

EVAP Chairman Ferdi Raquelsantos said that most of the organization’s members are pioneers in this sunrise industry. “These are businessmen-advocates who have persisted despite the snail-like pace that the EV industry has experienced and is experiencing in terms of uptake. They believe in the technology, that one day, it will prosper to the level where it should be. We spoke with one voice on issues relative to the EV industry. Together, we pushed for our advocacy: the promotion of the use of EVs nationwide,” he said.
