The new facility will soon become an ACMobility charging location with AC and DC charging points for BYD and other electric vehicle owners to charge their EVs while in the city.

“BYD’s rapid expansion in the country provides more Filipinos with access to its technologically superior, efficient, and ultra-safe line-up of battery electric vehicles,” says Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, CEO of ACMobility. 

“As we take this innovative technology to more regions, it is the hardworking individuals in our dealerships who answer our customers’ questions, attend to their needs, and, more importantly, support and reinforce the BYD EV ownership experience. We welcome Edward Vincent Onglatco and Global Star Motors Corporation to our fast-expanding network of BYD electric vehicle dealerships nationwide,” adds Zobel.

Antonio “Toti” Zara III, Head of Automotive Retail and Distribution at ACMobility, likewise expresses his excitement about BYD Cebu’s inauguration. “The adoption of electric vehicles in the Visayas region begins with the inauguration of BYD Cebu,” says Zara. 

“The rapidly growing BYD dealership network in the country reflects the public’s growing demand for the new age of sustainable mobility. BYD Cebu is our fourth active dealership, and by the end of the year, we will have 20 BYD dealerships in key cities nationwide. We continue to make the democratization of electric vehicles possible by making BYD electric vehicles readily available to more Filipinos nationwide, along with the supporting infrastructure that makes the experience a seamless transition from traditional internal combustion-engined cars. We are confident BYD Cebu will be a key player in this endeavor,” adds Zara.
