Going electric is about more than choosing a new vehicle. It's also about understanding the technology, knowing where and how to charge, and having the confidence to make the switch.
These are some of the things visitors can explore as BYD joins the 14th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit, happening from October 22 to 24, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City.
Open from 9 AM to 7 PM, Thursday to Saturday, the three-day event brings together vehicle manufacturers, technology providers, and electric mobility advocates under this year's theme, "Driving ASEAN Forward: Building an Integrated Electric Mobility Ecosystem."
Together with ACMobility, BYD will be part of a showcase that brings vehicles, charging technology, safety education, and practical ownership solutions into one venue. Visitors can also get behind the wheel of several BYD models and experience electrified driving firsthand.
Get to Know the BYD Tang DM-i
One of the highlights at the ACMobility booth will be the BYD Tang DM-i, a premium seven-seater SUV that combines generous passenger space with the smooth performance and long-range flexibility of BYD's Super DM-i technology. With Super DM-i technology, the Tang DM-i can go up to 110 km on full EV range but when combined with the fuel engine, is capable of going beyond 1,000 km of range.
Designed with families in mind, the Tang DM-i offers three rows of seating, a comfortable and well-appointed cabin, and modern features that make it equally suited to everyday routines and longer journeys.
It's an opportunity for visitors to see how electrified technology can work in a larger family SUV without compromising the space, comfort, and convenience expected from a premium vehicle.
Six BYD Models Available for Test Drives
Beyond the display, visitors will have the opportunity to experience six BYD models on the road, each offering something different depending on their driving needs.
For those considering their first fully electric vehicle, the BYD Seagull offers a compact and approachable starting point. Its manageable size makes it particularly suited to urban driving, while its all-electric powertrain delivers a quiet and responsive experience for everyday commutes.
The BYD Atto 2 EV brings those benefits into a compact SUV package. With up to 380 kilometers of all-electric range, modern styling, and intelligent features, it's designed for drivers who want the convenience and practicality of an SUV while making the move to fully electric mobility.
Drivers looking for greater long-distance flexibility can try the BYD Atto 2 DM-i Premium. Powered by Super DM-i technology, it offers a combined driving range of over 1,300 kilometers, along with advanced driver assistance features and everyday comfort. It's a practical option for city driving and longer out-of-town trips, giving motorists the freedom to travel farther with fewer fuel stops.
The new BYD Seal 5 DM-i Dynamic gives sedan buyers a compelling reason to consider electrified driving. Equipped with BYD's 5th Generation Super DM-i technology, it brings together everyday comfort, impressive fuel efficiency, and exceptional long-range capability. During an efficiency run conducted with the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), the new Seal 5 DM-i achieved 2,181.4 kilometers on a single full tank and charge.
For families who prefer an SUV, the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i offers a balance of comfort, space, and efficiency. Its refined cabin, smooth power delivery, and versatile design make it well suited to drivers who want one vehicle for weekday commutes, family errands, and weekend travel.
Completing the test-drive selection is the BYD Tang DM-i, giving visitors the chance to experience the premium seven-seater SUV beyond the showroom floor.
With these six models available, guests can compare different vehicle sizes, seating layouts, and electrified powertrains to better understand which one suits their lifestyle.
Discover the Technology Behind EV Ownership
Choosing an electric vehicle is only one part of the ownership experience. Having convenient access to charging, understanding how the systems work, and knowing what support is available are just as important.
At the ACMobility interactive showcase, visitors can learn more about the growing ecosystem designed to make electric vehicle ownership easier and more practical in the Philippines.
The ACMobility Diorama Ecosystem will provide an interactive visual display illustrating how vehicles, charging infrastructure, digital software, and service support integrate into a single ecosystem.
Greenstrum – Charge at Home: For EV owners who prefer the convenience of charging at home, Greenstrum offers professional home EV charger installation services. Its solutions make it easier to set up a dedicated charging station at home, so drivers can conveniently recharge their vehicles as part of their daily routine.
EV Charging Hub – Charge on the Go: For drivers heading beyond their usual routes, ACMobility provides access to over 200 charging hubs nationwide. This growing network helps make longer journeys and everyday travel more convenient, giving EV owners more places to recharge while they're out and about.
Power-on-Wheels (POW) – Charge on Demand: ACMobility's mobile charging solution brings charging assistance to locations where access to fixed charging infrastructure may be limited. It adds another layer of flexibility to EV ownership, giving drivers an alternative way to access charging support when needed.
Evro app – Charge Smart: The Evro app helps drivers manage their charging needs directly from their smartphones. From finding nearby charging stations and checking availability to monitoring charging sessions and paying for charging within the app, Evro makes public charging easier to plan and manage. Visitors can learn more about its features through demonstrations featuring KOLs during the summit. Together, these solutions show how electric mobility continues to become more accessible, not just through the vehicles available today, but through the services supporting them.
Building Confidence Through EV Safety Education
Safety and proper vehicle handling are also important parts of the conversation, especially for motorists who are still unfamiliar with electric vehicle technology.
On Thursday, October 22, ACMobility's Drive Electric. EV Safety Program will be featured as part of the summit's opening-day activities. The session will focus on practical knowledge that can help drivers make informed decisions about EV ownership.
Topics will include battery technology, safe charging practices, emergency procedures, and the overall cost of owning an electric vehicle.
By making this information easier to understand, the initiative aims to give more Filipino drivers the confidence to explore electrified mobility and better appreciate the technology behind it.
Exclusive Offers Available During the Summit
For visitors who are ready to take the next step toward BYD ownership, exclusive on-site offers will also be available throughout the three-day event.
Whether you're considering your first electric vehicle or looking to upgrade your current ride, it's a good opportunity to explore the lineup, take a test drive, and learn more about the special deals available during the summit. BYD representatives will be on hand to assist interested customers with reservations and available offers.
