Well it might appear to lower the costs but then they will smack tariffs on it, which will put the price right back where it was.
Personally I think them moving to the Philippines is a move to eventually divest themselves from the US for the most part.  They may stick around here in the US a bit because they DO have bikes here, and to suck up the federal grants, but I think they are wanting to expand in India and other countries rather than give it another poke in the US markets.  They didn't exactly do exceptionally well in the US.

I think Zero's engineering and development team will stay in the U.S. due to their ability to obtain talent from nearby Silicon Valley. But I agree that the manufacturing/assembly will occur offshore, or maybe knockdown assembly kits will be shipped to the U.S. office from their manufacturing plant for assembly.
