The Department of Trade and Industry is considering extending the exemption from import duties for fully-built electric vehicles (EVs) to support the growing demand for cleaner transportation. The move aims to help reduce costs for consumers while encouraging the adoption of more sustainable vehicles in the market. Industry stakeholders have pushed for the extension, arguing that current tariffs pose a financial burden on buyers. The decision could influence the pace of EV adoption in the country amid global efforts to transition toward greener mobility solutions.
