BYD supports broader EV education through ACMobility’s Safety Program and Owner Communities

BYD owners join an EV Safety Session to learn more about electric vehiclesafety and emergency preparedness, building greater confidence on the road.

As more Filipinos explore electric mobility, access to reliable information on EV technology, safety, charging, and ownership costs is becoming increasingly important. Following its launch in August, ACMobility’s Drive Electric. EV Safety Program continued its rollout at the Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS), helping EV owners, prospective buyers, fleet operators, and the wider public make informed decisions about electric mobility.

For BYD, these efforts complement the support it provides to its growing customer base, including owner communities where drivers can share experiences, learn from one another, and better understand their vehicles.

“We’re glad to see BYD owners building communities where they can learn from and
support one another. We want to continue celebrating these groups by helping
provide access to relevant information, knowledge, and support throughout the
ownership journey. At the same time, listening to our owners gives us an
opportunity to learn from their experiences and better understand their needs as
we work to grow awareness of electrified mobility in the Philippines,” said Bob
Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines.

As BYD’s vehicle lineup expands in the Philippines, so do the communities
forming around its different models. From sharing practical ownership advice to
joining activities with fellow drivers, these groups give owners a space to
exchange experiences, learn more about their vehicles, and help others navigate
the shift to electrified mobility.

For many members, the groups began with a simple goal: helping fellow owners.
Aaron Estabillo, a BYD Sealion 6 owner and one of the group’s moderator team,
says the community allows drivers to learn from one another’s experiences.
“The most common benefit is you get to see everything from everyone’s point of
view. I learn from other owners the things I may have missed myself,” he said.
These exchanges help owners better understand their vehicles, from exploring
features to comparing everyday driving experiences and running costs. For
prospective buyers, they also offer firsthand perspectives to consider alongside
professional reviews and dealership consultations.

Beyond online discussions, members organize camping trips, outreach programs,
and vehicle gatherings that build connections beyond a shared interest in cars.
Some also get opportunities to engage with BYD representatives and technical
experts.

While owners have different needs and driving habits, many are drawn to BYD for
its combination of value, practicality, efficiency, and technology. Through
their communities, they can continue learning from one another long after
bringing their vehicles home.

By combining EV safety education with the firsthand experiences shared within
owner communities, ACMobility and BYD contribute to a better-informed EV
community. Whether Filipinos are considering their first electric vehicle or
already own one, access to reliable information and shared experiences can help
them better understand the technology and what ownership entails.

Together, safety education, charging infrastructure, and after-sales support
complement the firsthand advice shared within BYD owner communities, helping
drivers make more informed decisions and navigate the realities of electrified
vehicle ownership.
