Globe Introduces Zero-Emission BYD EV and Gogoro Smartscooters as Grand Prizes

Globe presented its patrons with an opportunity to fulfill their dream rides while championing environmental causes through its G Chance the Raffle, featuring the soon-to-be-launched BYD Dolphin Pure EV and the Gogoro Smartscooters as its top prizes.

The BYD Dolphin Pure EV is a 5-seater electric vehicle propelled by a 70-kW (95 horsepower) electric motor, running on a 44.9-kWh lithium-ion iron phosphate battery. Its compact hatchback design offers a noiseless, vibration-free experience suitable for out-of-town trips, boasting high safety standards and zero emissions, contributing to a healthier environment.

AC Motors, under Globe’s principal Ayala Corporation, distributes this innovative vehicle through its key dealer networks.

In contrast, the Gogoro Smartscooters are two-wheeled marvels leveraging convenient and cost-effective battery-swapping technology. Empowered by “GoStations,” users can swiftly exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones in a mere six seconds.

Scheduled for launch in the fourth quarter, these scooters mark the collaborative efforts of Globe’s 917Ventures, Ayala Corporation, and Gogoro Taiwan, striving to introduce cleaner transportation options.

This year’s G Chance the Raffle featured one BYD Dolphin Pure EV and three Gogoro Smartscooters, claimed by fortunate subscribers Ysabel Ubana, Mario Acab, Jr., Eiryll Nynnya Ang, and Michale John Ilagan.

In incorporating e-vehicles into the raffle prizes for the first time, Globe underscores its commitment not only to fulfilling customers’ dream rides but also to propelling them into a new era of mobility, championing climate tech, clean energy, and sustainability.

Ysabel Ubana, recipient of the BYD Dolphin Pure EV, not only benefits from its cost-effectiveness but also acknowledges its contribution to a greener future. “Owning an electric vehicle has made me envision a greener tomorrow because I feel more environmentally conscious, reducing my carbon footprint for the benefit of future generations. I’d like to thank Globe for this annual raffle, offering subscribers the chance to win dream-worthy prizes.”

Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, expressed, “We aim to make our customers’ dream drives a reality while advocating for sustainability with these EVs. Globe is actively promoting cleaner energy resources, and we’re excited for our customers to embrace clean transport and make sustainable choices.”

Jerome Patalud, Head of Globe Rewards, added, “This year’s G Chance the Raffle aims to merge excitement for our customers with our advocacy. Having EVs as major prizes presents a life-changing opportunity for a more sustainable lifestyle.”
