Under their memorandum of understanding (MOU), Movem will install and operate ChargeEuropa’s EV charging stations nationwide, marking ChargeEuropa’s entry into the Asian market.
“We chose this market because we strongly believe in the potential of the Philippine EV industry and market. We see that EV charging is becoming a growing and very significant part of mobility in the country,” ChargeEuropa CEO Matt Tymowski said in a statement.
Founded in 2018, ChargeEuropa has introduced innovative ad-display chargers across Europe, combining EV charging with ad space through integrated LED screens. This technology is now poised to support the Philippine EV infrastructure, starting with Metro Manila.
Movem president and CEO Raymond B. Ravelo emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, “Our vision to drive a highly electrified, emissions-free Philippine transport sector is brought to life through partnerships with like-minded institutions such as ChargeEuropa.”
The partnership also aligns with the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act, supporting end-to-end EV and charging infrastructure for both institutional customers and the general public.
“Meralco, through Movem, has long since looked into the EV industry and aided in the transition alongside regulators and advocates,” added Meralco senior vice president and Movem chair Ferdinand O. Geluz.
