ACMobility has switched on the fastest EV charging station in the Philippines, to date: the 480-kW ultrafast DC charger located in Makati City. This is joined by another 240-kW DC charger located in the same area. Installed in partnership with the Makati Commercial Estate Association (MACEA) and Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI), the new high-performance chargers are now operational at the Corinthians Carpark, with the Leviste Carpark set to follow.
“Makati has been one of the leading runners in the country when it comes to sustainability. It is also a bustling business and residential district, which altogether makes it the perfect home for our fastest EV chargers yet,” said Carla Buencamino, Head of Mobility Infrastructure of ACMobility. “With this new offering at the heart of the city, we’re making it easier for more drivers, businesses, families, and communities to access faster and convenient EV charging, right where they need it.”
The Corinthians Carpark station features nine DC CCS2 slots, including four 240-kW chargers (each with dual guns) and one 480-kW UltraFast charger—the fastest in the country. These can charge compatible EVs in as fast as 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the vehicle battery capacity and charging conditions. Equipped with 1000-amp air-cooled cables, the system is engineered for both efficiency and scalability. The site also includes a dedicated pull-through slot to accommodate larger EVs and mini buses, ensuring optimal access and convenience.
This new station is likewise fully integrated with Evro, ACMobility’s all-in-one EV app that streamlines the user journey—from finding available chargers to initiating sessions, tracking real-time charging status, and making secure, cashless payments. Evro also provides alerts on network updates, promotions, and new station launches, making it the essential tool for every Filipino EV driver.
Charging is priced at P 35/kWh, with membership plans offering savings of up to 20 percent. To complement its fixed charging network, ACMobility also recently deployed Power-on-Wheels (POW)—a fleet of mobile DC fast units that bring charging capabilities to areas across Metro Manila that have limited access to charging infrastructure. Makati, along with the cities of Taguig and Mandaluyong, is one of the initial areas where POW can be accessed. More locations will also come in the future including Muntinlupa, Pasay, Pasig, Manila, San Juan and Quezon City. This ensures access to fast, reliable energy, even in high-demand or areas where permanent infrastructure is still being developed.
Makati is currently the most electrified city within ACMobility’s network, with 70 active EV charging points across 16 locations—set to grow to 100 charge points across 22 locations by the end of 2025. This is part of ACMobility’s year-end goal of installing more than 700 charge points across the country, further cementing its leadership in clean urban transport and its strategic role in the national charging ecosystem.
More than that, every charging session at the Corinthian Carpark Station is powered by 100 percent renewable energy through ACMobility’s partnership with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES), the Ayala Group’s renewable energy arm. This also marks ACMobility’s first direct partnership with ACEN-RES, paving the way for more collaborative initiatives as it continues to expand its EV network nationwide.
Enabled via the Department of Energy’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), this initiative ensures that EV drivers can charge using solar, wind, and geothermal energy, without the need for on-site installations, supporting the national goal of 35 percent renewables in the energy mix by 2030.
As of May 2025, ACMobility operates over 90 charging locations nationwide, with over 30 additional sites scheduled to go live by June.
“Each new station—whether in a mall, office, condo, or roadside—reinforces the Philippine EV Spine, connecting communities and empowering Filipinos to drive electric, anywhere, anytime. We are building this nationwide backbone of clean transport to make electric mobility seamless, reliable, and truly accessible to all,” added Buencamino.”
Ayala can't even afford to give a free trial to the new fast chargers, the free ride (pun intended) is mostly over now. Unfortunately for EV owners, Evro's rates are atrocious. Reality will hit Ayala hard when it sees most of its chargers sitting idle.
ReplyDeleteShell Recharge offers the same rates.....and Petron will probably offer similar rates once their promotions end.
DeleteYou have to understand these private companies are spending big money here, and with the continuous expansion, they will continue to burn through their capital, idk kung may incentive ba yung government for them to do this. But they do have to get their money back somehow.
I think once na madami na gumagamit niyan and ma ROI na nila, the companies can lower their rates
