BYD Cars Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, successfully concluded its first technology tour in Mindanao, held in Cagayan de Oro City from June 27 to 29. The event introduced technologically advanced electric vehicles (EVs) and infrastructure to the region. Kagay-anons had the opportunity to experience BYD’s latest innovations through interactive displays and test drives, all aimed at supporting the region’s shift toward more sustainable and future-ready mobility.
“We remain true to our commitment in bringing innovation through BYD and to build the charging infrastructure needed to make electric mobility more accessible and affordable to Filipinos,” said BYD Cars Philippines managing director Bob Palanca.
The tech tour underscores the brand’s commitment to making EV technology more accessible to consumers across the Philippines. Last year, ACMobility inaugurated the first BYD dealership in Mindanao at Davao City, laying the groundwork for wider EV adoption in the region.
The tech tour in Cagayan de Oro offered interactive exhibits, immersive technology showcases, and hands-on experiences with BYD’s growing range of EVs— including the Seal 5 DM-i, Sealion 6 DM-i, eMax 7, Shark 6 DMO, and the newly launched subcompact SUV, Sealion 5 DM-i.
“The BYD tech tour provides an important touchpoint for customers to learn more about the advantages and benefits of electric mobility, and also experience the impressive line-up of BYD,” said BYD Philippines country head Adam Hu. “By continuously doing this, we are closer towards our goal in making the future of mobility more accessible to more Filipinos.”
ACMobility charging infrastructure across Mindanao
Supporting this shift to electric mobility is ACMobility’s expanding EV charging network, with the Philippine EV Spine initiative serving as a key component of its nationwide rollout.
ACMobility has now activated 9 EV charging locations in Mindanao. By year-end, more EV charging points will go live on the island, including one in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur.
ACMobility has laid out plans for continued expansion throughout the country to ensure dependable and convenient access for EV owners, from urban centers to regional hubs.
As of June 2025, ACMobility is active in more than 100 locations with over 230 charge points nationwide, well on track to achieve its goal of activating more than 700 charge points across the country by the end of the year. Through its partnership with Evro, ACMobility offers EV users a convenient way to locate charging stations, monitor charging, and make cashless payments all in one app.
“We are committed to building a reliable, inclusive EV charging network that supports the growing adoption of EVs in Mindanao and throughout the Philippines,” said ACMobility Mobility Infrastructure Head Carla Buencamino. “Through our Philippine EV Spine program, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where every Filipino can drive electric with convenience and confidence.”
