CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Council approved a resolution on Tuesday urging every gasoline station in the city to install at least two electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, aiming to expand the local charging network and accelerate the shift to cleaner transportation.
Councilor Edgardo Labella II authored the measure during the council’s regular session to align city operations with Republic Act No. 11697, or the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (Evida), and its implementing rules and regulations.
The resolution references Evida, under which the development and promotion of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure is state policy.
