The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), together with the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) and in partnership with the Department of Energy (DoE) and Nissan Philippines Inc., will be staging the 11th edition of the annual event from October 19 to 21 at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City.
With the theme "Plug-In and Accelerate," the 11th PEVS will be a three-day summit, occupying three halls of the SMX Convention Center to accommodate more exhibitors and facilitate more insightful industry discussions and networking opportunities.
A two-day conference will focus on strengthening and localizing EV and battery supply chains to further support a wider adoption of EVs through policy dialogues and a moderated exchange of knowledge, experiences and best practices.
The three-day exhibition, on the other hand, will showcase foreign and local players exhibiting the latest EV models, battery and charging technologies, and other innovative products and solutions.
"Another development that we are excited about is the establishment of the Philippine Battery Consortium in addressing concerns on battery supplies and costs," EVAP President Edmund Araga announced.
The 11th EVS will also hold learning sessions on how other countries implement and succeed in developing EV supply chains, electrified ride-hailing, green logistics, e-bus services, and e-taxi fleets, as well as ensuring safety in EV operations and battery manufacturing and servicing.
The 11th PEVS will also recognize personalities and institutions advocating and promoting the adoption of electromobility in the Philippine transportation sector through the conferment of the E-mobility Awards.
