Another Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) was installed here to signal the Subic Bay Freeport’s readiness to make the economic zone a tourist haven for electric vehicle owners.
According to Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman and Administrator Jonathan D. Tan, the installation of electric vehicle charging stations here will help increase confidence for first-time vehicle owners to go electric as the Freeport and the SBMA continues the fight against climate change.
Tan graced the official launching of the EVCS at the Uni-Oil Subic gasoline station after a product presentation.
“We are gearing up to attract more tourists while maintaining an environmentally healthy environment as part of my administration’s thrusts. Not only that we are now expecting tourists thru the conventional fuel-powered vehicles, we are now ready for tourists on electric vehicles and e-cars,” Tan said.
Early this year, EVCS was installed at the Acea Subic Beach Resorts, providing guests and visitors the option to use their electric vehicles when coming to their establishment.
Acea and Uni-Oil EVCSs will provide the ‘juice’ for electric vehicles that are now on the rise due to vehicle manufacturers producing more efficient and reliable electric vehicles. Both charging stations have two charging feeder pillars and enclosure each, and can easily accommodate two vehicles simultaneously. FREEPORT INSIDER
