MANILA, Philippines — Although the war-driven rise in fuel prices has stoked greater interest in electric vehicles (EVs) in the Philippines, the country’s still-limited charging infrastructure risks slowing that transition, according to a study by global advisory firm Deloitte.

There are about 1,600 accredited charging stations nationwide, based on Department of Energy data as of the end of April. These include 781 alternating current chargers, 291 direct current chargers, and 528 battery-swapping stations.
