Okada Manila installed Entertainment City’s first electric vehicle (EV) charging station in a move towards sustainable innovation.
The charging station, at the Lower ground floor parking near the VIP and valet drop-off area, features two Type 2 charging sockets with a 22 kWh power output, the resort said. It can charge an EV from 50 percent to 100 percent in about two hours.
The service is available through Okada Manila’s valet service.
“At Okada Manila, sustainability is a core part of our responsibility as a corporate citizen,” said Rob Scott, vice president of hotel operations at Okada Manila, in a statement.
“This EV charging station reflects our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and our role in shaping a greener future for tourism and hospitality in the Philippines,” said Scott.
The installation is part of Okada Green Heart, the resort’s sustainability initiative, aligning with its Energy Efficiency pillar, which focuses on integrating smart systems, renewable energy solutions, and advanced technologies to reduce the resort’s carbon footprint.
By encouraging the adoption of EVs, Okada Manila said it aims to support the transition to clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The resort, also a recipient of the Forbes VERIFIED Responsible Hospitality badge, said the charging station enhances guest convenience and reflects its dedication to environmental responsibility.
