In a bid to facilitate electric vehicle (EV) travel, SM Supermalls has rapidly expanded its network of free EV charging stations across the Philippines. The company now operates over 183 chargers at 95 locations, a significant increase from just four pilot sites initiated in 2022. This initiative allows EV owners to charge their vehicles for free for up to three hours during mall hours, addressing the common concern of 'range anxiety' among drivers. The expansion aligns with the growing adoption of EVs in the country, spurred by rising fuel prices and government incentives. Key locations for charging include major malls such as SM Mall of Asia and SM North EDSA, with coverage extending across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Additionally, some sites feature faster DC chargers, enhancing convenience for users. SM Supermalls views this charging infrastructure as a crucial component of its sustainability strategy, which also encompasses renewable energy projects. As a result, EV road trips are becoming increasingly feasible for motorists, allowing them to recharge while shopping or dining at the malls.
