OMODA E5, the first fully-electric crossover SUV of global automotive brand OMODA Philippines, earned the electric vehicle certification from the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) after passing the efficiency run to validate the vehicle\u2019s 430 kilometer published range distance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two OMODA E5 vehicles underwent the certification process following the test parameters: 100% battery charge, using standard OEM equipment; tire pressures set to 42 psi; and a speed range of 60 to 100 kph when safe and legal to do so on highways and following speed limits on city and provincial roads. Each car carried three passengers and 10 kg of items. While the vehicles were set to the extreme energy-saving mode with the highest regenerative braking settings activated, passengers were able to adjust the AC temperature and blower setting according to their preference to simulate a realistic environment for vehicle use. Other accessories such as headlamps, wipers and infotainment system were also used according to passenger preference while adaptive cruise control was activated for both cars. Under these efficiency run settings, the OMODA E5 maintained a cruising speed of 80 km\/h and reached a maximum speed of 90 km\/h when necessary during the nearly 13-hour long drive across six destinations, including Shell Mampalasan, NLEX Balagtas, Petron TPLEX NB, Clean Beach Coffee, Poro Point Lighthouse, and Shell TPLEX Rosario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of the run, the first vehicle had a final battery state of charge of 2% with an estimated remaining range of 8 km, resulting in a total range capability of 442.7 km. Meanwhile, the second vehicle had a remaining range of 28 km with a 7% battery state of charge, achieving a total distance of 428.8 km. Measured based on the odometer\/tripmeter readings plus the remaining range distance, the test vehicles recorded an average of 435 kilometers, exceeding the car\u2019s 430 kilometers published range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OMODA E5 is the fully electric version of the popular OMODA 5 crossover, designed to captivate the younger generation with its striking design and cutting-edge interior features. For Marco Chen,<\/strong> Country Director of OMODA Philippines, the vehicle\u2019s certification is a testament to the brand\u2019s commitment to innovation and excellence in the automotive industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe AAP certification proves that OMODA E5 is indeed about style and efficiency. We engineered our electric vehicles to be capable of handling long drives on a full battery while keeping the driver and passengers comfortable throughout the entire ride. This certification is proof of OMODA\u2019s automotive engineering DNA: the Art in Motion, which boasts smart innovations, eco-friendly features, and distinctly modern aesthetics,\u201d said Chen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AAP, the oldest and largest automobile club in the Philippines, is renowned for its dedication to the advancement and welfare of motorists nationwide. A certified member of AAP can access a range of valuable benefits, including 24\/7 emergency roadside assistance, personal accident insurance, discounts from AAP lifestyle partners, LTO renewal support, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
