SM Supermalls boosts eco-friendly transportation with the largest electric vehicle charging network in the country
The leading mall operator now has 111 electric vehicle charging stations in 62 SM malls.
With over 100 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) nationwide, SM Supermalls is making sustainable mobility easy and convenient.
With the completion of new electric vehicle charging stations at SM City Lucena, SM City Rosales, and SM City Sucat, SM Supermalls now operates 111 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) across 62 malls nationwide. This expansion reflects the company's ongoing commitment to sustainability and its active support of the growing electric vehicle (EV) market in the Philippines. SM Supermalls aims to further extend its EVCS network, with new stations set to open at SM City Novaliches, SM City Batangas, and SM Center Las Piñas by the end of September.
This extensive rollout not only underscores SM Supermalls’ leadership in sustainability but also its strategic role in providing accessible EV infrastructure for Filipinos. By encouraging the adoption of EVs as a sustainable transportation solution, the company is aligning itself with the national government’s Republic Act 11697 (Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act or EVIDA), supporting the transition to cleaner energy.

In addition to expanding its EVCS network, SM Supermalls offers complimentary charging at all locations, making EV ownership more affordable by reducing operational costs for users. This initiative is expected to drive wider EV adoption, further contributing to reduced carbon emissions and cleaner air quality nationwide.
With a goal of reaching 75 malls equipped with EVCS by the end of 2024, SM Supermalls remains the leading operator of EV charging stations in the country. EVs, which utilize lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of at least 100 kilowatt-hours, provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional vehicles, emitting no carbon dioxide. Since the project’s inception in 2022, SM Supermalls has served over 10,123 unique users, delivering a total of 357,874 kWh of electricity free of charge.
