Price drop! Weltmeister W5 repriced to P2.248M thanks to lower EV import duties

More and more brands that have electric vehicles (EV) are beginning to reprice their cars thanks to the implementation of Executive Order (E.O.) No. 12. 

E.O. 12 temporarily reduces the import duties on EVs, parts and components until 2028.

Mainstream brands like Nissan have already begun to lower their prices. The Nissan LEAF was formerly priced at ₱2.7 million and has now come down to ₱1,998,000.
