Movem puts up EV charging hub at Festival Mall

Movem Electric Inc., the sustainable mobility arm of Manila Electric Co., has teamed up with the Filinvest Group to set up an electric vehicle charging facility at Festival Mall in Muntinlupa.

Manila Electric Co.'s sustainable mobility unit, Movem Electric Inc., has partnered with the Filinvest Group to install an electric vehicle charging facility at Festival Mall in Muntinlupa. This collaboration aims to make EV charging more accessible to motorists, promote cleaner mobility, and foster EV-ready communities. The charging station, situated in the Alabang-Zapote parking area of Festival Mall, is integrated with a digital advertising platform and managed through Movem's mobile application, ChargeM.

Movem president and CEO Ralph Menchavez emphasized the company's commitment to making EV charging a seamless part of daily routines. He noted that Festival Mall, being a hub for everyday activities, provides an ideal setting for EV charging facilities. The partnership extends beyond Festival Mall, with Movem planning to extend its EV charging support to Filinvest's commercial, residential, and office developments.

Earlier, Movem had donated two fully electric shuttles to Barangay Bel-Air in Makati, offering residents a more sustainable transportation alternative. These shuttles feature extended driving ranges, faster charging times, and enhanced passenger safety and comfort. Each shuttle can seat up to 14 passengers and can travel up to 150 kilometers on a single charge.
