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.


SM Southmall supports sustainable travel with 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?

Top-up stops are available at SM City Rosales and SM City Urdaneta Central.
