SM Supermalls is supporting a more eco-friendly future by expanding its infrastructure for alternative modes of transport. As of today, May 26, 2026, SM Supermalls now has over 183 electric vehicle chargers across its nationwide network of Supermalls and properties.
This development makes it easier for EV owners to charge their vehicles. The expanded network of EV charging stations provides customers with free charging for up to three hours in the comfort of their most-loved SM Supermall, which is in line with the SM Green Movement.
According to Engr. Junias Eusebio, SM Supermalls vice president for operations, the free EV charging comes at a crucial time, especially with the current energy crisis increasing the need for alternative modes of transport that aren't as dependent on crude.
"The free EV charging comes at a crucial time, especially with the current energy crisis increasing the need for alternative modes of transport that aren't as dependent on crude. We're happy to keep serving our customers across our nationwide network of most-loved malls until the crisis settles," said Engr. Junias Eusebio.
SM was the first mall chain to roll out free EV charging stations back in 2022 to support the government's thrust of pivoting transportation toward more sustainable and environmentally-friendly power options. SM started with an initial number of four mall sites. Now, it has the largest network of EV charging stations nationwide, with over 95 mall and non-mall properties operating these facilities.
Offering this service for free helps lower the barrier of entry for EV ownership in the country, according to Eusebio. This encourages more Filipinos to consider this mode of transport, which makes EV adoption faster. It's contributing to SM's and the national government's overall pursuit of sustainability.
With the nationwide coverage of SM malls, range anxiety among owners is lessened as well. Eusebio mentions that customers are already familiar with SM Malls and visit its spaces to relax or run errands. Thus, engaging with the charging stations becomes a natural and seamless benefit during their visit. They're able to charge their vehicles while they're shopping or dining.
SM Supermalls' electric vehicle chargers are open during mall hours. The chargers available include the Winline YLCED80K02 80kW DC Rapid Charger with CCS2 Type 2 and GBT, which is only available at SM City Bataan. They also have the Wallbox Pulsar Max 7.4kW AC Charger Type 2. Two SM malls also offer e-bike chargers, which is a convenient option for customers who own e-bikes.
SM aims to reach 100% coverage by the end of May. You can head to your most-loved SM mall with an EV charging station for your next top-up. For a list of charging stations, you can visit https://www.smsupermalls.com/electric-vehicle-charging-stations-terms-and-conditions.
