ACMobility, a company focused on accelerating EV adoption in the Philippines, is working on expanding its charging infrastructure, implementing plans presented in 2023 at a faster pace. Led by the Ayala Corporation, the company is prioritizing the expansion of charging stations to promote electrified mobility across the country. They are establishing key cities as hubs for EV adoption, with a particular focus on Makati City, the country’s premier business district.
By the first quarter of 2025, Makati is set to have 74 fully operational ACMobility charging points strategically located across 18 sites, including offices, malls, and condominiums. This expansion builds upon ACMobility’s existing network of 47 charging points in Makati and includes a collaboration with Ayala Land and the Makati Central Estate Association (MACEA) to add 27 more, including 19 DC fast chargers. The goal is to meet the evolving needs of Makati’s residents and visitors towards a greener future through convenient and efficient charging solutions.
ACMobility recently launched a membership program for the use of charging stations, offering three membership plans for electric vehicle owners, regardless of the brand of vehicle as long as the charging ports are compatible. The plans are priced at different levels, providing a 30-day credit allowance for use at ACMobility charging stations. These plans offer savings on charging fees compared to pay-as-you-go pricing, making EV charging more accessible and affordable for Filipino drivers.
The membership program is accessed and managed through the Evro app, a platform that allows users to locate charging stations, monitor charging sessions, and make cashless payments. ACMobility plans to introduce additional membership features, including wallet sharing, GCash app integration, and a loyalty and rewards program in the future. The goal is to make EV charging more affordable and accessible to support the growing adoption of electric vehicles in the Philippines.
ACMobility is committed to supporting Makati’s transformation into a benchmark for sustainable urban mobility and plans to bring the same level of commitment and innovation to other cities across the country. By ensuring that the EV infrastructure keeps pace with the growing adoption of electric vehicles, they aim to set the stage for a cleaner, more connected future for all. The company looks forward to continuing to play a significant role in the evolution of transportation in the Philippines towards a more sustainable future.
