Okada Manila Leads the Way with Entertainment City’s First Electric Vehicle Charging Station
MANILA, 3 April 2025 – the country’s premier integrated resort, a six-time Forbes 5-Star awardee, and a recipient of the Forbes VERIFIED Responsible Hospitality badge, takes a bold step toward sustainable innovation by introducing the first-ever electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Entertainment City. This initiative underscores the resort’s commitment to eco-friendly hospitality while catering to the growing number of EV users in the country.
Conveniently located at the Lower Ground Floor Parking near the VIP and valet drop-off area, the charging station is designed to provide a seamless experience for guests. The unit features two Type 2 charging sockets with a power output of 22 kWh. On average, an EV can be charged from 50% to 100% in approximately two hours. Currently, the charging station is exclusively available through Okada Manila’s Valet service, ensuring a hassle-free experience as valet personnel facilitate the entire process.
Reward Circle cardholders under the Maharlika, Supreme, and Okada Club tiers enjoy complimentary charging.
