SM Supermalls furthers its sustainability journey by opening the first ever inmall e-vehicle (EV) charging stations in Davao City at the SM Lanang Premier.

“As you go out of the city and explore other provinces, never worry again about running low on battery because as long as there is an SM mall, there’s an EV charging station. So to our dear shoppers, travel anywhere, charge anywhere only here at SM Lanang Premier,” said Engineer Jonathan Nick Santos, assistant vice president for operations-Mindanao 2 of SM Supermalls.

Located at the basement parking of the mall, the charging stations are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and free of charge.
