Can You Make It From Manila To Baguio (And Back) In An EV Without Worrying About Range?
Whenever we get our hands on any vehicle with a modest engine displacement, the most common question we get is: kaya ba umakyat ng Baguio yan (can it get up to Baguio)? Located 1,540 meters above sea level and about 200 kilometers north of Manila, the “Summer Capital of the Philippines” or “The City of Pines” is often an endurance test a car must ace before being accepted by the masses as well-built (matibay). Nowadays, just about any well-maintained modern vehicle can now make it up thanks to a better road network, and of course, better built cars. But what about EVs?

Review: 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6
Hyundai has decided to shape the key fob of the Ioniq 6 in the form of its logo. This move carries with it a lot of weight and expectation, since the logo itself is a symbol of customer trust and commitment. It is this commitment to excellence that greets you each time you unlock the doors (provided you still reach out for the key fob to open the doors), and it is the one that this all-electric sedan has easily met.
