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 northbound and southbound
trips.

its accessible Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points. |
SM Supermalls, a Department of Energy (DOE)-accredited operator of
EVCS, ensures its stations meet national standards, addressing infrastructure
limitations and promoting EV adoption in line with DOE goals. This initiative
positions SM as a key driver in the Philippines' low-carbon future.
The use of EV reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, such as
carbon dioxide (CO2), in the atmosphere, which leads to global warming. Their
use has no direct emissions as compared to gasoline- or diesel-powered
vehicles.
For Holy Week road trips, free EV charging is available at 69 SM
malls, including:
Northbound Adventures
Heading to Baguio? An EV trip from SM Mall of Asia (MOA) to SM City
Baguio (266km) may typically consume ~50kWh one way, avoiding approximately
0.067 metric tons of CO₂ on a roundtrip, which is also equal to 7.6 gallons of
gasoline or 74.6 pounds of coal. Top-up stops are available at SM City Rosales
and SM City Urdaneta Central.
From SM North EDSA (253km), a similar route saves 0.065 tons of CO₂
(or 7.3 gallons of gasoline), while SM City Fairview (252km) may not even need
a charging stop, with 0.06 tons of CO₂ avoided.
Shorter northern trips like SM MOA to SM City Clark (96km) or SM North
EDSA to Clark (83km) may require no stopovers, offering up to 0.02 metric tons
of CO₂ savings, equivalent to 2 gallons of gasoline.
