10th PH Electric Vehicle Summit invokes unity for faster electro-mobility adoption

The biggest annual exhibition and conference focusing on promotion of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country is mounting its 12th edition this year. The Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) 2024 is showcasing the latest technologies, innovations, products, and accessories from major EV brands in the Philippines and the region.

“The 12th PEVS is designed to further ignite a powerful call to action for a transformative shift in transformation and mobility,” said Edmund Araga, President of the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), a 17-year-old organization promoting wider EV adoption locally and staging the annual EV summit. 

“With the theme ‘Spark Change, Drive Electric,’ PEVS 2024 entices everyone to be a part of the movement initiating a positive perception and behavior towards a cleaner and more electric future in transportation and mobility,” he added.

The Hyundai booth will also be highlighted by SPOT, an autonomous four-legged robot produced by Hyundai in collaboration with Boston Dynamics. This marks its first appearance in Manila, having also been featured in several events across the region. SPOT is just one of the several innovations Hyundai has engineered in its mission to innovate mobility solutions for all. Visitors can also test drive the Ioniq 6 and redeem exclusive freebies at the Hyundai booth.
