A month earlier, on September 23, the DOE reported that electrified vehicles accounted for about 24.7% of new vehicle sales from January to August, and that registered charging stations nationwide had reached 1,876.

Key Figures
| Metric | Value | As of |
|---|---|---|
| DOE-accredited EVCS providers | 451 | September 30, 2026 |
| Registered EV charging stations | 1,876 | End of August 2026 |
| DOE-recognised EV models | 949 (+67 in one month) | End of August 2026 |
| Electrified vehicles sold | 66,685 of about 270,124 vehicles (24.7%) | January–August 2026 |
| Of which battery EVs | 16,320 | January–August 2026 |
| Of which plug-in hybrids | 29,649 | January–August 2026 |
| Of which hybrids | 20,716 | January–August 2026 |
Note that the 24.7% figure includes non-plug-in hybrids. Plug-in models (BEVs and PHEVs) made up 45,969 units, or about 17% of sales on EVDANCE’s calculation.
How Accreditation Works
Under the Comprehensive Roadmap for the EV Industry (CREVI), the DOE accredits providers in three groups:
- Operators run charging stations and collect fees from EV users.
- Service providers build, install, maintain and manage data and payments for stations.
- Suppliers sell charging equipment or its parts.
The DOE urges buyers to work only with accredited providers so that installations meet minimum safety and technical standards. The full list is on the government’s EV Industry Portal. The country’s longer-term target is a 50% EV share of the fleet by 2040, and Executive Order No. 121 offers up to ₱60 billion in performance-based support for EV-related investment.
What It Means
With PHEV sales almost double BEV sales, much of the near-term demand is for AC charging at homes, offices and malls. Foreign manufacturers usually reach this market through a local accredited supplier or service partner, so choosing the right partner is the first step.
EVDANCE works with local partners through our distributor program, and our full product range includes portable chargers, wallboxes and AC stations. Local accreditation and registration rules apply to every installation.
