SM Olongapo malls have launched their first in-mall E-vehicle charging stations in Olongapo City. SM City Olongapo Central and SM City Olongapo Downtown officially opened their E-vehicle charging stations on February 22, 2024.
These charging stations are a result of SM Spermalls’ partnership with the Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, and the Department of Trade and Industry to accelerate the government’s renewable energy and sustainability initiatives.
Aside from this, the free EV charging stations further advances the Zero Emissions agenda of SM to increase the use of renewable energy to 50% across all of its business segments, ahead of the national goal to be 35% renewable by 2030.
