Ortigas Malls opens first e-vehicle charging station

-

Ortigas Malls and Shell Philippine­s are strengthen­ing their commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the Philippine­s by setting up the first Shell Recharge Station, an electric vehicle (EV) charging station, at Estancia Mall and Greenhills.

The EV charging station is now available for use at the first parking level of North Wing, Estancia Mall, and second floor, Connecticu­t Arcade, Missouri Building Basement in Greenhills. There are four dedicated parking spots where motorists can recharge their vehicles while shopping and dining in Estancia and Greenhills.

Over the last few years, Ortigas Malls has implemente­d many green initiative­s across its malls, from encouragin­g shoppers to bring their own bags to reduce plastic waste to hosting a monthly drive to sell upcycled items at Estancia and Greenhills.

The Shell Recharge Station is another step forward to promote sustainabi­lity and protect the environmen­t. The installati­on of the EV charging stations was also done in support of the Electric Vehicle Industry Developmen­t Act (Republic Act 11697), which requires buildings and establishm­ents to have dedicated parking slots for EVs.

“We want to do our part in contributi­ng to a greener Philippine­s. We’re happy to be working with Shell, a company that’s committed to reducing carbon emissions, in setting up the EV charging station at Estancia Mall and Greenhills. Through this partnershi­p, we want to make a positive impact to help our country reach its sustainabi­lity goals ,” said architect Renee Bacani, vice president of Ortigas Malls.

The Shell Recharge Station at Estancia Mall is free for one month at P1, North Wing, and Greenhills at 2/F Connecticu­t Arcade.
