Leading American electric automaker Tesla has no plans yet to penetrate the Philippine EV market. Nonetheless, its famous electric cars managed to land on the country’s roads recently through an all-electric vehicle importer.
Anis Electric Cars Philippines, an Anis Transport business unit, currently imports and sells models from five major brands, including China’s BYD, Japan’s Toyota, Germany’s BMW and Volkswagen, and America’s Tesla.
