As the morning sun lit up the CALAX expressway, a quiet revolution rolled through Laguna. The Philippine EV Community marked its fourth Southrun Family Event with a vibrant convoy of over 30 electric vehicles—an inspiring symbol of how far the country has come in embracing sustainable mobility.
From sleek electric sedans to family-friendly crossovers, the convoy rolled out from Magallanes Village, Makati at exactly 9:00 AM, cruising down SLEX, through Mamplasan Toll Exit, and onto CALAX, before arriving at Sevina Park—a lush, sustainable enclave developed by Arthaland, whose green ethos made it the ideal host for this community-driven celebration.
This wasn’t just a showcase of electric vehicles—it was a gathering of kindred spirits. Families came together, kids explored, and EV enthusiasts swapped stories over breakfast and brunch. Whether you were a first-time EV driver or a seasoned advocate, the event offered something for everyone.
“Good morning, and welcome to the Philippine EV Community’s 4th South Run,” said Rico Severino, Founder and President of the Philippine EV Community. “It’s truly inspiring to see so many familiar faces and new advocates gathered here today united by a shared vision for a cleaner, electrified future of mobility in the Philippines.
This isn’t just a drive; it’s a living testament to how far our movement has come. We’re here to celebrate not only the technology that powers our vehicles, but the community that powers our purpose. With every run, every conversation, and every connection, we’re building a future that’s sustainable, inclusive, and driven by people. Together, we’re not just driving electric—we’re driving transformation.”
While the convoy showcased the growing presence of EVs on Philippine roads, the real surprise awaited at the venue: a vibrant display of Ecooter electric motorcycles, folding bikes, bamboo bikes, and Galaxy Charge—a local charging solutions provider offering support even for two-wheelers. It was a full-spectrum showcase of clean mobility, proving that the electric revolution isn’t just coming—it’s already here, and it’s diverse.
Attendees also had the unique opportunity to test drive both the latest models and current favorites in the EV lineup, giving them a firsthand feel of cutting-edge technology, smooth performance, and sustainable innovation. From sleek city cruisers to powerful electric SUVs, the test drive experience offered a thrilling glimpse into the future of mobility, leaving everyone energized and impressed.
“A few years ago, spotting an EV on the road felt rare,” shared one Philippine EV Community member. “Now we’re rolling out in convoys, building friendships, and showing our kids what the future looks like—quiet, clean, and connected.”
With Arthaland as sponsor and host, the event reflected more than just technological progress—it embodied values of inclusion, wellbeing, and shared purpose. Sevina Park’s eco-conscious design and lush surroundings created a welcoming space for learning, laughter, and low emissions.
Children enjoyed interactive activities while parents connected over coffee and conversations about the future of mobility. Even the display of electric motorcycles added a fresh layer of excitement and accessibility to the experience.
As Philippine EV Community continues to expand, events like these remind us that the shift to electric isn’t just about vehicles—it’s about people. It’s about building a movement that’s inclusive, joyful, and deeply rooted in community.
“We’re already counting down to the next one,” said a parent, smiling as their kids explored the event. “This isn’t just a drive—it’s a lifestyle. And it’s becoming more electrifying with every run.”
