The 14th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) is charged up and ready to go, gathering 15 brands that will showcase their latest EVs at the SMX Convention Center Manila from October 22 to 24.
The organizer of PEVS, the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), has confirmed that the brands joining this year’s showcase will also be offering test drive opportunities. The lineup of cars expected to be on display and available for test drives includes city cars, family SUVs, premium and performance models, commercial vehicles, and electric two-wheelers. EVAP said that this diverse lineup gives visitors a “full picture of what the local EV market offers today.”
EVAP President Willy Tee Ten said the 14th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) will provide consumers with an opportunity to explore their options and make more informed decisions on which EV best suits their needs and budget.
“The best way to understand an EV is to drive one. At PEVS, you can try a family SUV in the morning, sit in a performance car after lunch, and test an e-motorcycle before you head home. That kind of side-by-side comparison helps people make a confident decision about which EV fits their lifestyle and budget,” Tee Ten said.
Visitors can test-drive and view models from BYD, Kia, Toyota, Nissan, MG, Zeekr, Deepal, MINI and Lotus, Changan and AVATR, Dongfeng Motors, and Forland. NWOW and NXT represent light electric mobility on the show floor.
Aside from EVs on display and for test drives, the 2026 PEVS will also feature EV charging solutions for homes as well as for businesses and fleets. Visitors can also talk to banking, financing, and insurance partners. Policy experts, including representatives of the Department of Energy, will be sharing their thoughts on the roadmap shaping the local EV industry.
The 2026 PEVS will run from October 22 to 24 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. General admission is P100 at the gate, and students with a valid school ID enter for free.
