SM Supermalls is enhancing Holy Week travel for Electric Vehicle (EV) owners with its growing network of 123 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS), with 50 more planned for 2025. This expansion offers free charging at 69 SM malls, supporting eco-friendly journeys for travelers.
As a Department of Energy (DOE)-accredited EVCS operator, SM ensures all stations meet national standards, addressing infrastructure limitations and promoting EV adoption. This initiative positions SM as a key driver in the Philippines’ low-carbon future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional vehicles.
Northbound Adventures
Travelers to Baguio from SM Mall of Asia (266km) can save approximately 0.067 metric tons of CO₂ on a roundtrip—equivalent to 7.6 gallons of gasoline—with convenient charging stops at SM City Rosales and SM City Urdaneta Central.
From SM North EDSA (253km) or SM City Fairview (252km), similar routes offer comparable environmental benefits. Shorter northern trips like SM MOA to SM City Clark (96km) may require no stopovers, saving up to 0.02 metric tons of CO₂.
Southbound Escapades
Popular eco-friendly destinations include Tagaytay (65km from SM MOA), with charging available at malls in Laguna (SM City Santa Rosa, SM City San Pedro), Batangas (SM City Lipa), and Legazpi (SM City Legazpi).
For longer journeys, travelers heading to SM City Naga from SM MOA can stop at SM City Lucena (248km), with roundtrip CO₂ savings of 0.061 metric tons—equal to 6.9 gallons of gasoline.
Visayas and Mindanao
EV charging is available at SM City Cebu, SM City Cagayan de Oro (Downtown & Uptown), and SM Lanang in Davao. A 280km roundtrip between SM City CDO Downtown and SM Lanang saves 0.035 tons of CO₂ with no stopovers needed.
