Quick take: SM Supermalls has expanded its electric vehicle charging footprint across the Philippines with more than 160 chargers at 73 malls as of April 2026.
Overview
SM Supermalls has steadily rolled out electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across its portfolio, covering Metro Manila and provincial centers. The network now exceeds 160 charging stations located at 73 SM sites nationwide, aimed at serving shopping customers and boosting EV convenience.
Charger types and capacity
The bulk of SM-operated chargers are AC Type 2 units with a typical maximum output of 7.4 kW — suitable for overnight or multi-hour top-ups. Several malls also host 80 kW DC fast chargers for quicker fills. Separately, the Tesla Supercharger at SM Mall of Asia provides up to 250 kW but is not counted among the standard SM-operated chargers. SM Bataan includes a GBT-type charger, which is compatible with a limited range of EV models.

Access and usage rules
SM-operated chargers were being offered free of charge at the time of the April 2026 update, with a maximum permitted charging duration of three hours per vehicle. Availability, pricing and charger compatibility can change, so EV drivers should check on-site signage or mall information desks before plugging in.
Why this matters
Expanding charging infrastructure at high-traffic retail centers helps reduce range anxiety and encourages broader EV adoption. By placing chargers in malls that serve urban and provincial populations, SM Supermalls supports practical charging options for errands, shopping and longer trips — a key step toward decarbonizing transport in the Philippines.
Conclusion
SM Supermalls’ growing EV network — more than 160 stations at 73 sites as of April 2026 — offers a mix of AC and DC charging across Metro Manila and the provinces. While most chargers are modest 7.4 kW AC units, the inclusion of faster 80 kW DC chargers and specialty units like Tesla’s 250 kW Supercharger at Mall of Asia indicates broader readiness to support diverse EV needs. Drivers should verify charger types and current access rules before visiting.
