Boosting Eco-Friendly Travel SM Malls' EVCS Enhance Holy Week Road Trips

As we celebrate Holy Week, many of us are planning road trips with family and friends. This year, with SM Supermalls' growing network of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS), you can enjoy the freedom to travel while reducing your carbon footprint.

A Growing Network for Sustainable Travel

SM Supermalls has invested in a rapidly expanding network of 123 EVCS, with an additional 50 planned by 2025. This expansion offers free charging at 69 SM malls, supporting eco-friendly journeys for northbound and southbound trips. Through its collaboration with the Department of Energy (DOE), SM Supermalls ensures that its stations meet national standards, addressing infrastructure limitations and promoting EV adoption.

The Power of Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles offer a cleaner alternative to traditional gas-powered cars. With zero direct emissions, EVs reduce the amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing less to global warming.

Practical Examples Making Eco-Friendly Travel Easier

Let's explore some practical examples of how SM Supermalls' EVCS can enhance your Holy Week road trip

For a northbound trip from SM Mall of Asia (MOA) to SM City Baguio (266 km), you'll typically consume about 50 kilowatt-hours one way, avoiding approximately 0.067 metric tons of CO2 on a roundtrip.

From SM North EDSA (253 km), a similar route saves 0.065 tons of CO2 (or 7.3 gallons of gasoline).

For shorter trips like SM MOA to SM City Clark (96 km) or SM North EDSA to Clark (83 km), you may not need any stopovers, offering up to 0.02 metric tons of CO2 savings.

Southbound Spots for Eco-Friendly Fun

For a southbound trip

Tagaytay (65-km one way from SM MOA) is a popular spot with approximately 0.017 tons CO2 saved.

Laguna, Batangas, and Legazpi are other eco-friendly road trip spots.

Longer Drives Made Easy

For longer drives

Travelers heading to SM City Naga from SM MOA can stop at SM City Lucena (248 km), with roundtrip CO2 savings of 0.061 metric tons.

The Visayas and Mindanao charging stations are located at SM City Cebu, SM City Cagayan de Oro (CDO) (Downtown and Uptown), and SM Lanang in Davao.

Collaborate for a Sustainable Future

As we continue to develop and expand our EVCS network, let's work together to promote sustainable travel practices. By choosing eco-friendly options like electric vehicles and charging stations, we can reduce our environmental impact and create a cleaner future.
