Philippines lags in e-mobility readiness list
The Philippines placed 34th out of 35 countries after scoring 28 out of 100 in the 2023 Global Electric Mobility Readiness Index (GEMRIX) by consultancy firm Arthur D. Little. The index assesses a country’s preparedness and progress toward electromobility (e-mobility) or adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The GEMRIX score ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 means that internal combustion engines and EVs are at the same level in terms of acceptability, affordability, and availability.
