At the EV forefront: Meralco to electrify 25% of vehicle fleet by 2030

The Manila Electric Company has committed to aggressively push the development of vital infrastructure necessary to advance the Philippines' adoption of electric vehicles through the company's network and capabilities.

Leading by example, Meralco will electrify 25 percent of its own vehicle fleet by 2030. It has so far converted 156 or 7 percent of its fleet to EVs and installed 39 EV charging stations to serve the daily operational needs of its sector offices and business centers.

These EVs were showcased during the Meralco Power Academy's three-day "Giga Summit on Sustainable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Future Grid" recently held in Makati City.

Through its green mobility unit Movem Electric Inc., Meralco has also deployed 247 EVs and installed 139 charging stations in collaboration with private sector partners and institutional clients.
