BYD Cebu Central officially opened its doors on May 13, 2025, launching its largest showroom in the country yet. Situated along J. de Veyra Street in the North Reclamation Area, this flagship showroom stands as the largest BYD dealership in the Philippines, marking a pivotal moment in the nation's electric vehicle (EV) movement. The sleek new showroom is a statement, a lifestyle shift, and a glimpse into the future of how Cebuanos will move through their vibrant city.

BYD Cebu Central is part of a larger push to grow the EV ecosystem across the Visayas. Additional showrooms at IL Corso and Ayala Center Cebu have already opened, with future branches planned for Cebu South and Toledo City.

To support this expansion, Bob Palanca, managing director of BYD Philippines, made a key announcement during the launch: more EV chargers will be installed across the region. This pledge shows the brand’s commitment to building the infrastructure necessary for widespread EV adoption. Not just selling cars, but shaping the future of transport.

For Cebuanos, the timing couldn’t be better. With rising fuel costs and growing environmental awareness, the shift to EVs is slowly becoming a necessity. BYD, a global leader in electric mobility, understands this, and its Cebu Central dealership is designed to make the transition seamless. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to walk buyers through everything from battery range to charging options, debunking myths and easing concerns. With plans for more charging stations across the city, range anxiety—the fear of running out of juice—is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Edward Onglatco, the driving force behind BYD Cebu Group as its president and chief executive officer, thanked the Cebuano community for their enthusiastic embrace of this electric revolution.

Cebu is a city on the move, and BYD’s arrival signals a new chapter, one where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. Imagine a future where your daily commute doesn’t contribute to smog-choked skies, where the only sound on the road is the hum of progress. That future is here, and it’s parked at BYD Cebu Central.

Since opening its first Visayas dealership in 2024, BYD Cebu has sold over 1,000 EV units, showing a growing demand for cleaner, smarter transportation. The opening of BYD Cebu Central cements the brand’s leadership in the local EV movement, positioning Cebu as a trailblazer in sustainable mobility in the Philippines.

So, what’s next? If you’ve ever been curious about EVs, now’s the moment to see them up close. Swing by BYD Cebu Central, take a test drive, and feel what it’s like to drive the future. (SPONSORED CONTENT)
