    Last October, Solarius EV Charging showcased its charging solutions at the 10th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS).

    This year’s PEVS highlighted the electric vehicle industry’s solidarity in achieving the policy goals of the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), also known as Republic Act No. 11697, which went into effect on May 11, 2022. The Act’s implementing rules and regulations, which were published on September 5, 2022, went into effect on September 20, 2022.

    The law mandates 5% electric vehicle share in corporate and government fleets, designated parking spaces for electric vehicles, installation of charging stations in parking lots and gas stations, creation of green routes in cities and municipalities, as well as fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for electric vehicle production, charging station importation, and electric vehicle usage. The goal of the law is to encourage the fast adoption of electric vehicles and charging stations in the country.

    Solarius also offers EV charging solutions for condo and apartment property management companies to enable tenants to charge at home. The company also offers solar powered EV charging solutions for both private residences and businesses.
