BYD Cars Philippines Campaign Redefines the Future of Mobility
The “Drive Electric. Love Pinas.” campaign, through the partnership of BYD Cars Philippines, ACMobility, and the Department of Tourism, covered over 3,500 kilometers and passed through 102 cities and municipalities across Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao with its New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) [MT3] and DM-i vehicles. Lead navigator Wil Dasovich headed the drive and the journey were equal parts road trip, cultural immersion, and live demonstrations that electric mobility in the Philippines is no longer a distant promise, it is possible today.[JP4]

A Record-Breaking Milestone
At the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), BYD Cars Philippines was officially awarded two Guinness World Records titles in recognition of what the convoy accomplished:
- Most cities visited in a continuous journey by a battery electric vehicle (BEV) – BYD eMAX 7
- Most cities visited in a continuous journey by a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) – BYD Shark 6 DMO
The Guinness World Records are proof that electrified mobility in the Philippines is no longer a concept being tested and it has become a trusted reality being driven. Across 102 cities and municipalities spanning three island groups and every category of terrain this country offers, the case for a reliable and durable travel made itself.

The Present of Philippine Mobility
With over 160 charging points now running from the northernmost tip of Luzon to the heart of Mindanao, conveniently positioned in malls, office buildings, estates, hotels, condominiums, grocery stores, coffee shop, and carparks — making long-distance EV travel hassle-free where exact locations can be checked in the Evro App. It proved that the infrastructure Filipinos need to go electric already exists and is already within reach.
“What was once a vision is now a reality,” said Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, CEO of ACMobility.“And it goes beyond the vehicles. ACMobility is at the forefront of building an ecosystem that supports every Filipino EV owner—from ease of purchase, to charging availability, to being there every step of the way. That’s why we continue to invest in our ACMobility Charging Hubs nationwide, with the goal of allowing Filipinos to drive electric across the archipelago through the expanding Philippine EV Spine Network.”
