The \u201cDrive Electric. Love Pinas.\u201d campaign by BYD Cars Philippines<\/span><\/span><\/a> puts a spotlight on a key shift in local mobility: long-distance electric vehicle (EV) travel is now viable across the country. The 22-day journey covered more than 3,500 kilometers and passed through 102 cities and municipalities nationwide.<\/p>\n

Conducted in partnership with ACMobility<\/span><\/span> and the Department of Tourism<\/span><\/span>, the initiative combined a cross-country drive with on-ground demonstrations, showing how EVs perform across varying terrain and infrastructure conditions.<\/p>\n

A nationwide EV drive tests real-world readiness<\/h4>\n

Led by content creator Wil Dasovich<\/span><\/span>, the convoy used BYD\u2019s<\/a> New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) and DM-i plug-in hybrids to complete a full Luzon-to-Mindanao route.<\/p>\n

More than a promotional road trip, the campaign functioned as a large-scale test of EV usability in the Philippines. It covered highways, provincial roads, and urban centers, reinforcing the idea that electrified transport can now handle everyday and long-haul travel scenarios.<\/p>\n
