Yesterday, Meralco officially opened it’s first public charging station for electric cars. Officially called Meralco eVehicle Power Station, the charging station is located inside the Meralco Compound in Pasig City.
As more and more electric cars and hybrid cars are being sold in the Philippines, the need for more accessible charging stations like this one becomes evident.

Electric vehicles like the eTrikes in Taguig and the eJeepneys that ply the routes of Makati are the among the few ones that will benefit from this, alongside other commercial units from Honda or Toyota. On a related note, the hybrid Honda CR-Z will be launching next week with a starting price of Php1.4 Million.
Charging is done on a “per kilowatt” basis with a flat rate of about Php12/kWHr.

@damarkcus dahil yang sinasabi mong technology ay di pa nagmamaterialize, marami na ang nagpropose ng patent about jan pero wala pang napoprove na talagang gumagana,tska ung mga pinropose nila ay impractical,example ay ung isang patent na masyadong maraming/malakas na energy ang kailangan para sa electrolysis(ito ung paghihiwalay ng oxygen molecules sa hydrogen)tska ang isa pang problem ay masyadong kakaunting hydrogen lang ang nakukuha,sobrang kaunti na halos wala nang makakarating na hydrogen sa makina para gumana dahil sa ibat ibang proseso ng paghihiwalay
