There are different types of electric vehicles (EVs), with varying degrees of battery
charging requirements. But more and more models with plug-in and fast charging
capabilities are coming
What is an EV: Electric vehicles (EVs) use electric motors instead of an internal combustion engine (ICE) to propel a
vehicle. The electric power is derived from a battery of one of several chemistries including lead acid,
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion).

Types of EVs: HEV

infrastructure that affect the time required and places where EVs can charge

EV charging can be done in various locations, from the comfort of one’s home, to a
shared (private-public) facility, and up to fully commercialized set ups

Home / Private Semi-Public Public

Charging
Vehicle charging at users residences,
in their garages, drive ways and at
apartment complexes as well as street
residential spaces. Generally it is
expected to be slow charging (Level 1)
and can be used to charge EVs
overnight. Home charging takes 8 to
12 hours for complete battery charging
Charging
Vehicle charging at office workplaces
which can charge company-owned and
publicly-owned fleets. These too are
also similar to home charging, which is
expected to be mostly slow charging
(level 1) apart from this they maybe
fast charging (level 2) portable ones
also. Its takes 2 to 3 hours for a
complete charge
Charging
The non-residential and non-
workplace charging to cater to public
EV charging requirements. Expected
to be a combination of fast charging
(Level 2) and rapid charging (Level 3)
for quick top-ups of battery power.
Charging at this level is within a few
minutes

II. Global EV Trends
Trend #1: EV car sales continue to grow, topping 5.1Mn units in 2018 (from 3.1Mn in
2017), but only a number of countries account for the major sales

China has the largest number

of electric car sales worldwide,
followed by Europe and the
United States.

Only a handful of countries

though have significant
market share, driven by:
o Gov’t support & mandate
o User Incentives
o Tax-breaks / subsidies
o Higher tax on ICE vehicles
o Low RE prices
o More expensive fuel cost

Trend #2: Home charging is still the main source of power for EVs (@90%), which is a
concern for large-scale commercial deployments that need long travel range

The number of charging points worldwide is estimated at 5.2 million (end-2018), up 44%
from 2017. (1 EV : 1.02 EV Charger). Most of this increase was in private charging points,
accounting for more than 90% of the 1.6 million installations in 2018.

Publicly accessible installed fast chargers just numbered 144,000 and slow chargers
numbered 395,000 by end-2018.

Trend #3: EV battery pack sizes are increasing (at lower costs), providing new EVs with
longer driving range at more affordable costs

The capacities of batteries have increased to provide longer driving distances. In the
future, the observed trend towards larger battery pack sizes is expected to continue until
most EVs have a driving range of at least 350-400 km (the typical ICE vehicle range)

• Source: Global EV Outlook 2019 (www.iea.org)

Trend #4: Government policy has spurred adoption in select countries of EVs and EV
charging stations, providing a mix of policy, standards, incentives and targets

The government of other countries leading in mobile electrification have played a big role
in fast tracking the adoption of EVs in their respective markets through a mixture of
regulatory and policy measures aimed to increase the value proposition of going electric.

III. The Local EV Experience
Unlike the global experience, Philippine EV adoption is driven by both private and
government programs for the deployment of electric shuttles, trikes and jeepneys

• Source: EVAP
Private companies and forward thinking LGUs have spearheaded the adoption of electric
shuttles for various transport requirements within their respective areas

Meralco Center Ateneo Katipunan QC Environment Office

La Salle Araneta La Salle Canlubang EVEEI Muntinlupa

The DOE spearheaded a program that introduced a fleet of 3,000 eTrikes that was
distributed to different LGUs and other government entities nationwide
The DOTr, for its part , is implementing a PUV Modernization Program for jeepneys
to replace the decades-old and dilapidated units running in the streets

Improved PUV to International Standards:

On the private vehicle front major car manufacturers have started to gauge / offer in
the local market their plug-in electric cars for sale this late-2019 / early-2020

IV. Meralco’s Response to the EV Challenge
To cater to these two markets with different charging requirements, Meralco has
developed and provided charging solutions for ePUV deployments…

We have also installed DC fast chargers in Meralco, as well as with partner customers,
and are studying these in preparation for eCars and higher capacity EVs

Likewise, we have also energized and provided support to various entities and
organizations that have started implementing EV fast charging solutions

In the area of sustainability, we have incorporated solar and wind RE facilities in our
head office charging station, and are creating a prototype of solar EV parking

Finally, together with the local EV industry and government, we are working towards
coming up with the standards for EVs and EV charging in the country

So what does the EV future hold?
EVs are inevitable… and charging standards will continue to become more powerful
providing users and EV adopters faster charging times...
