EVAP forges stronger ties with neighboring groups

MANILA: The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) has forged stronger ties with neighboring EV groups at the recently-held Electric Vehicle Asia (EVA).

During the event hosted by the Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand, EVAP President Edmund Araga represented both the country’s premiere electric car organization as well as the Asian Federation of Electric Vehicle Associations.

Per EVAP, its figurehead took on a dual role to advocate for increased collaboration and development in the electric vehicle (EV) industries across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.

There, Araga engaged with key stakeholders and industry leaders to discuss strategies for accelerating EV adoption, infrastructure development, and regulatory harmonization within the region.

His participation, EVAP noted, underscores a commitment to fostering regional partnerships that will drive innovation and sustainability in the EV sector.

“Strengthening our relationships within the ASEAN region is crucial as we collectively work towards a greener and more sustainable future,” Araga stated.

“The Electric Vehicle Asia event provided an invaluable platform for sharing knowledge and best practices, and I am confident that our collaborative efforts will yield significant advancements in the EV industry,” he added.

Looking ahead, the EVAP boss highlighted the upcoming Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS). The said electric car expo — scheduled for October 24-26 at the SMX Exhibit in Manila — is expected to draw a diverse array of participants, including government officials, industry experts, and EV enthusiasts.

“The PEVS will be a pivotal event for the Philippines, offering a unique opportunity to further our nation's commitment to electric mobility,” Araga said.

“We are eager to build on the momentum from the Electric Vehicle Asia event and continue our efforts to position the ASEAN region as a global leader in the EV revolution,” he added.
