This is the Kia EV6, it's here but not really. Not yet at least. Get a first look of the model here on this AutoDeal Walkaround.

My answer is NO if it is not your lifestyle. Should you buy a fully electric vehicle (Battery Electric Vehicle) in the Philippines? I speak from my experience of buying one, owning one, driving one, and understanding one. Here are my top 3 reasons why: 1) Lack of charging stations and charging standards. Most commercially deployed chargers in Manila are Level 2 - the ones for home use.... and there are less than 20 of them scattered all over the Philippines with no standards (Compare that to 55,000 in the US and around 11,000 in Australia - with 400 charging stations in the city of Brisbane alone) Assuming your EV has a CHADEMO type charger with a standard 80kWH battery: Level 1 plug socket charger (10 amperes single phase) will take around 44 hours. Level 2 home chargers (22kW or 100 amperes 3-phase) will take around 4 hours. But for the standard home, Level 2 single phase (7.2kW 32A) will take 12 hours. Level 3 super chargers (350kW DC Chargers) will take around 20-35 mins. 2) While range is not a major issue in my opinion for Manila streets since the typical distance driven daily is around 10km, an 80kWH EV has a 460km WLTP which in other words is around 385km assuming you are frugal on electrics (the BMW has a 74-6 kWH configuration - 74 for electric motors and 6 for the accessories). If you don't want to worry yourself about planning your daily trips because of these numbers or the lack of understanding of what these numbers mean, EVs are definitely not for you. 3) EVs rely heavily on proper road networks (which we do not have in the Philippines). They need lane markings, standard traffic signages, kerbs, and other basic road network requirements. These things are needed by the EV for ADAS to work properly. EVs are like mobile phones with wheels. They are not your traditional car that got converted to battery power. They are electronic gadgets. If their environment does not have the necessary outboard infrastructure, then it is a waste of money to buy one. Owning them is a lifestyle decision - even in a first world country that is advanced with infrastructure. Talk to someone who owns one. Do not talk to a salesman or rely on information published by a car magazine reporter or on youtube who borrowed it and drove it for a week.

Looks great. Only sad part is charging stations are still very few in metro manila. And people like me who lives in a condo has no way to charge EVs at home. Sucks really. Probably still 5-7 years away from having a decent amount charging stations.

[@redorange]

Getting an EV in the Philippines is pointless because you are just moving the pollution from your tailpipe to the power plant. The Philippines produces 76.3% of electricity using fossil fuel and 47.7% from coal, which is the dirtiest of all sources. There also isn’t a charging infrastructure and an ability to recycle batteries that have degraded. Imagine how much of the lead acid batteries already end up in the dump now and add a more poisonous and flammable battery for the future.

[@lolpartyparrot]

Good to see that manufacturers are starting to bring EVs into the PH and that a company like Ayala is building the charging infrastructure. The range on this car is more than enough to get you to and from work for more than a week without needing to charge. Realistically you’ll be charging from home more than 90% of the time. Kudos to Kia for bringing this to the Philippines.

Consumers are starting to realize that the charging infrastructure and power grids are nowhere near ready. It could take decades before it comes close to matching the petrol infrastructure. I'd rather buy a hybrid.

It's frustrating kia and hyundai have unreliability issues that scare me and make me ask why i should buy these brands... frustrated because their designs are mostly better than Japanese cars. Why do Japanese cars look outdated? Why why why Why don't Korean and China cars not use reliable engines and transmissions? Why why why... how much extra cost would this give the cars? Why not use reliable engines instead of breakthrough modern engines that have reliability risks? Would any cons or loan car company bring out a nice looking reliable car though not so advanced? I'm in that market niche.
