BYD Cars Philippines just made history. Through its “Drive Electric. Love Pinas” campaign, the company received two Guinness World Records after completing a 22‑day electric mobility drive across the country.
The records were for:
- Most cities visited in a continuous journey by a battery electric vehicle — BYD eMAX 7
- Most cities visited in a continuous journey by a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) — BYD Shark 6 DMO
The drive covered 102 cities and municipalities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Leading the convoy was Wil Dasovich, who served as the campaign’s lead navigator, guiding the team through every stop and terrain. The journey showed that EVs can handle long trips and different types of terrains in the Philippines, from highways to provincial routes.
