Making EVs convenient and accessible for Filipinos.

The EV charging stations at SM malls will be a welcome addition to the Philippines’ EV infrastructure. The country has a growing number of EVs on the road, but there are still limited charging options available. This partnership will help to make EVs more convenient and accessible for Filipinos.
