ACMobility is further strengthening its nationwide EV charging network rollout by announcing that Mindanao has now grown its charging locations to nine. The announcement was made to coincide with the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i’s launch in Cagayan de Oro City.
As part of ACMobility’s “Philippine EV Spine Initiative,” more EV charging points will go live in Mindanao, including one in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur—one of the southern most cities in the entire country.
This is part of the laid-out plans for continued expansion throughout the country to ensure dependable and convenient access for EV owners, from urban centers to regional hubs.
As of June 2025, ACMobility is active in more than 100 locations with over 230 charge points nationwide, making it well on track to achieve its goal of activating more than 700 charge points across the country by the end of the year.
“We are committed to building a reliable, inclusive EV charging network that supports the growing adoption of electric vehicles in Mindanao and throughout the Philippines,” said Carla Buencamino, Head of Mobility Infrastructure at ACMobility. “Through our Philippine EV Spine program, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where every Filipino can drive electric with convenience and confidence.”
Reinforcing its presence in Mindanao, BYD Cars Philippines, also a subsidiary of ACMobility, held its very first Tech Tour in Mindanao. The event marked a milestone in introducing technologically advanced electric vehicles and infrastructure to the region. Kagay-anons had the opportunity to experience BYD’s latest innovations through interactive displays and test drives, all aimed at supporting the region’s shift toward more sustainable and future-ready mobility.
“We remain true to our commitment in bringing innovation through BYD and to build the charging infrastructure needed to make electric mobility more accessible and affordable to the Filipinos,” says Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines.
It also served as the official launch point for the Sealion 5 DM-i in Mindanao. The new electrified subcompact crossover combines efficiency, power, smart features, and a commanding presence on the road, making it perfect for young Filipinos who want to drive more, free from range anxiety.
“The BYD Tech Tour provides an important touchpoint for customers to learn more about the advantages and benefits of electric mobility, and also experience the impressive line-up of BYD, the Global No.1 New Energy Vehicle brand,” says Adam Hu, BYD Philippines Country Head. “By continuously doing this, we are closer towards our goal in making the future of mobility more accessible to more Filipinos.”
