Geely launches EX5 EM-i plug-in hybrid in Philippines at ₱1,288,000

Geely has introduced the EX5 EM-i plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in the Philippines with a starting price of ₱1,288,000, according to Manila Bulletin. The launch adds another PHEV option to the Philippine automotive market, where electrified vehicles are gradually gaining traction.

Why it matters: The arrival of competitively priced plug-in hybrids in Southeast Asian markets like the Philippines signals growing demand for charging infrastructure, as PHEVs require both home and public charging networks to maximise their electric range and appeal to fleet operators and private buyers.
