Hyundai Motor PH partners with SM Supermalls for EV Car Parks
Giving your fully electric vehicles (EV) when not at home is getting easier as Hyundai Motor Philippines, Inc. (HMPH), has revealed its partnership with SM Supermalls for the establishment of these facilities.
The two companies formally set off their partnership at a signing ceremony held at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) last July 20, 2023. Right now, six (6) EV charging stations located within SM Supermalls’ properties are set to be operational soon.
“Our global vision is based on the belief that we, as an automaker, have to be more proactive when responding to climate change compared to companies in other industries. So Hyundai Motor Philippines is very fortunate to be aligned with a company whose approach to sustainability is as holistic as ours. We are glad that we get to contribute to one of the four main pillars of their green movement which is energy,” says Mr. Cecil Capacete, Managing Director of HMPH.
“A key component to supporting society’s adoption of cleaner mobility solutions is through public awareness. And we are one with the SM group on their mission to assure customers, who are looking to transition to an electrified lifestyle, wider access to charging facilities outside of their homes.”
HMPH has already established a total of 10 EV charging stations, located in its EV-certified dealerships. These facilities are equipped with AC and DC chargers for the use of Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 owners. In addition, 6 charging stations are set to be operational in SM malls around the country: SM Mall of Asia, The Podium, SM City Fairview, SM City Clark, SM City Cebu, and SM Lanang Premier.
“At SM, we build on our long-term strategy toward net zero emissions by 2040. We commit to address issues that will impact the next generations and welcome Hyundai as our partner in this advocacy. We look forward to this collaboration and working with you in the years to come,” says Mr. Steven T. Tan, President of Shopping Center Management Corporation (SCMC).
