Leading Philippines EV Company Energizes More Charging Stations, Launches Membership Program

More charging stations, innovative energy solutions, and multi-brand vehicles are all part of ACMobility’s plan to hasten EV adoption in the Philippines. Led by the country’s biggest conglomerate, the Ayala Corporation, the EV solutions company is implementing its plans, first presented in 2023, at a faster pace by prioritizing the expansion of its charging infrastructure to promote electrified mobility across the country.

The company is working to establish key cities as hubs for EV adoption, with a significant focus on the country’s premier business district, Makati City.

“ACMobility is excited to enhance Makati’s mobility infrastructure with a comprehensive charging network, ensuring convenient and efficient solutions for residents and visitors,” said Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, Chief Executive Officer of ACMobility said in a press statement late January.

The Makati EV Ecosystem

By the first quarter of 2025, Makati will boast 74 fully operational ACMobility charging points strategically located across 18 sites, including offices, malls, and condominiums.

“As a key city for our EV ecosystem expansion, Makati exemplifies the potential of electric mobility in urban centers, and we are dedicated to meeting its evolving needs toward a greener future.” 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, by Q1 2025.

“As one of the country’s most sustainable cities, Makati continues to lead by example in building a future-ready urban environment. By boosting our EV infrastructure through ACMobility, we commit to the integration of cleaner technologies into the daily life of our citizens,” Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay said, stressing that the city looks forward to the expansion of ACMobility’s EV charging stations not only within the business district, “but also outside of it, making it possible for the entire Makati community to experience the benefits of electric vehicles.”

Charging Membership

To further incentivize EV adoption, ACMobility recently launched a membership program for the use of charging stations.

The program offers three membership plans for electric vehicle owners, not just ACMobility brands BYD or Kia, as long as the charging ports are compatible. The plans are priced at PhP1,200 ($20), PhP2,000 ($34), and PhP4,000 ($69), each providing a 30-day credit allowance for use at ACMobility charging stations. These plans offer 20% savings on charging fees compared to pay-as-you-go pricing, making EV charging more accessible and affordable.

“Our new ACMobility Membership program is designed with the future in mind, offering easy, affordable, and convenient charging solutions for the growing number of EV owners in the Philippines. It reflects our commitment to accelerating the shift to cleaner transportation while honoring the loyalty and trust of our consumers by delivering value and hassle-free experience every time they charge their vehicles,” said Zobel de Ayala.

“We’re excited to introduce this membership program, making EV charging more affordable and accessible for Filipino drivers. This initiative is about building trust with our members and empowering them to embrace a more sustainable future through technology,” Carla Buencamino, Head of Mobility Infrastructure at ACMobility stated.

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. Looking forward, ACMobility plans to introduce additional membership features, including wallet sharing, GCash app integration, and a loyalty and rewards program.

“We are proud to support Makati’s transformation into a benchmark for sustainable urban mobility. This is just the beginning, and we look forward to bringing the same level of commitment and innovation to other cities across the country, ensuring that the EV infrastructure keeps pace with the growing adoption of electric vehicles and sets the stage for a cleaner, more connected future for all,” Buencamino concluded.
