Saving Gas: Investing in E-Car or a Condo Near Your Workplace

Mar 27, 2022

Who doesn’t want to save money, time, energy, and gas when coming to work? With the present situation where everything is quite pricey, time-and-gas consuming, we at least tend to look for an immediate solution for us to save. We work for us to earn and save money, so we keep ourselves on a tight budget with our everyday needs and choices. 

One of these needs and choices is the way we spend so much money on gas. Whether we are a commuter or who has his or her car, we are technically spending money for them. As a commuter, our fares are used not just for the driver’s boundary but also with the gas. As car owners, we put aside a certain amount of money for it. 

Either so, all we wanted is to at least live or drive comfortably and conveniently while we work. 

All of us are aware that various oil price hikes happened within the past few days. Commuters, drivers, car owners are in despair upon hearing how much price increases have been added with it. This price increase will affect the usual fare and the money we allotted for gas. 

There is nothing we can do for now but to think conveniently and look for ways how we can live with it for quite some time. With this, there are two ways wherein you can conveniently save gas while making such great investments. One of these is investing in an electric car and the other choice is to buy a condo. 

What are the differences between these two?

Investing in an Electric Car

With the present issue that we are facing now such as the increasing cost of energy and the continuous climate change, various Philippine companies are determined to navigate electric vehicles or EVs on the road. 

The Philippine electric vehicle aims to embark on an ecological, economical, and environmental change or transformation to the transportation landscape through electric vehicles. They aim that electric vehicles will be supported, highly promoted, and encouraged in the country as this will give long-term sustainability. 

Electric cars in the Philippines are continuously adapting to the increasing interest in this. With the growing tourism demand in the country, some are using electric vehicles in order to conserve energy and limit the unhealthy combustion brought by gas. Thus electric cars in the Philippines can be a great investment for companies as this can be a great asset in the future. 

Based on ZigWheels, an India-based auto-portal CarDekho which is an international brand, there are 13 electric car brands that can be found and are available in the Philippines. Some of these brands are BYD, Jaguar, Nissan, Changan, and Porsche. The cheapest unit that is available is Changan EADO EV460 2022 amounting to Php 1.828 Million while the most expensive is Jaguar I-Pace 2022 amounting to Php 7.59 million. 

How do electric cars work?

They run by supplying electricity into their batteries which power an electric motor that makes the wheel turn. Electric cars are lighter to drive as they accelerate faster than the usual vehicles fueled by gas. These batteries are mostly what make electric cars work.

What are the different types of electric cars?

  • Plug-in Electric – These are cars being run through electricity with no need for a traditional fuel engine.
  • Plug-in Hybrid – These are cars being run through electricity but also have a traditional fuel engine. 
  • Hybrid-electric – These are cars that run mainly through fuel like petrol or diesel but also have an electric battery that is being recharged through regenerative braking. 

We can currently say that electric cars in the Philippines are still quite expensive, yet these electric cars can be a great investment now. This has great potential in the future as we all dream to have a safer and healthier environment.

Investing in a condominium

  1. Condominium can give you a passive income. 
  2. Condominium appreciates in value.
  3. Condominium can guarantee you great amenities.
  4. Condominium can guarantee you security.
  5. Condominium is getting affordable. 
  6. Condominium pre-selling can guarantee incentives. 
  7. Condominium is a stable investment.
  8. Condominium can give you a hassle-free living. 

As condominium turns out to be a great investment nowadays, we are also greatly assured that our money, time, efforts, and future are in good hands. Our money will not just stay as it is but also will be revolving around a continuous income for us. 

Looking back to what we have now, investing or buying a condo is indeed a smart way to save money or even gas. As we are working day by day, daily expenses are also increasing. Our usual budgets with all of it are being adjusted based on the market. 

Thus, buying a condominium that is near to your work is a smart change and decision. As this will not just help you to save gas, yet this will also guarantee you a forever home for you and for your family. You can go to work and go back home with such convenience and security provided by this investment and guarded by laws and regulations. 

We need to think, work, save, and invest smartly and that makes buying or investing in a condominium the best fit for that. 

On the other side, if we still don’t have enough capacity to invest in either of the two, how can we still save gas even with our motorcycle?

Here are some of the ways how to save gas on a motorcycle

  1. Choose High-Quality Fuel
  2. Electric Motorcycle is also a Choice
  3. Keep Tyres Inflated
  4. Drive in a Steady Speed
  5. Maintain Low Emission Level
  6. Minimizing Bike Accessories
  7. Keep your Maintenance Up-to-Date
  8. Take the Highway
  9. Keep The Engine Clean
  10. Consider a Lighter Bicycle or Motorcycle
