As the electric vehicle (EV) market gains momentum in the Philippines, the charging infrastructure is evolving to meet growing demand. Whether you're an individual EV owner or a business exploring opportunities in this space, understanding home and public EV charging is essential. Sharing our perspective on this.


Home EV Charging

✅ Ideal for daily charging needs

✅ Lower cost per charge compared to public stations

✅ Requires an upgraded home electrical system (preferably with a dedicated EV charger)

✅ Best suited for homeowners with private parking spaces


Public EV Charging

✅ Vital for long-distance travel and condo/apartment dwellers

✅ Found in malls, gas stations, office buildings, and government facilities

✅ Typically includes fast chargers (DC) and Level 2 chargers (AC)

✅ Expanding, but still limited in number and accessibility


Opportunities for Growth

🔹 Government incentives under the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA)

🔹 More commercial spaces installing EV chargers as a competitive edge

🔹 Potential for gas stations to integrate EV charging services

🔹 The rise of smart and renewable energy-powered charging solutions


As EV adoption increases, the charging network must scale up to support a sustainable and convenient driving experience. Now is the time for businesses, policymakers, and innovators to collaborate in shaping the future of EV infrastructure in the Philippines.
