Wuling Macaron 120 km cost to own in the Philippines — the true 5-year total

By the EVCostIQ research desk · reviewed against our public methodology · every source dated on this page

The Wuling Macaron 120 km starts at ₱663,000. Over 5 years, owning one (EV) costs about ₱875,257 in the Philippines as of July 1, 2026 — ₱14,588/month, ₱14.59/km — including depreciation, charging (with the ~12% charging loss most calculators ignore), maintenance, insurance, financing and registration. That's ₱319,756 less than a comparable Geely Coolray 1.5T Premium Plus over the same 5 years.

No national cash purchase rebate in the Philippines (unlike Thailand's EV3.5). EV support is tax/tariff relief already baked into the sticker price (EVIDA 0% CBU import tariff to 2028; 0% excise on pure BEVs) plus non-cash perks (number-coding/UVVRP exemption, priority LTO registration) — none of it is a cheque, so none is in the totals above.
