ACMobility and Basic Energy Corporation have partnered to build an EV infrastructure that supports the growing fleet of electric public transport across the country. The collaboration will have ACMobility develop EV charging hubs that can cater to electric buses alongside private vehicles.
The collaboration plays a key role in the deployment of the Love E-Bus fleet as it ensures the reliable operations and uptime of the newly-deployed E-buses.
The next charging hub under the partnership will rise at the Total station on the northbound side of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). This site will feature a versatile mix of chargers, including high-speed DC fast chargers and AC chargers.
The two companies are also exploring several other strategic locations. These include sites in Mandaluyong City, Cainta, Barangka in Marikina, and along Sumulong Highway, which will improve charging access across high-density commuter routes in eastern Metro Manila.
Strategic corridors are also being strengthened, with planned installations in E. Rodriguez and Visayas Avenue in Quezon City, Newport City in Pasay City, and along EDSA, one of the metro’s busiest avenues.
Basic Energy and ACMobility earlier partnered to open EV charging hubs in EcoOil Alabang and the Total station on the North Luzon Expressway.
The partnership is in line with Basic Energy Corporation’s Iwas Taas Pamasahe Transport Solutions Program, which empowers local transport operators to transition to sustainable electric mobility and protect commuters from rising transit costs amid fluctuating fuel prices. Under the program, transport groups can use electric buses with zero upfront costs and can own the vehicles after five years.
“Our transition to electric mobility can only be complete if we also electrify public transport. Through our partnership with Basic Energy, we are building an EV charging network that powers not just private vehicles but also public transportation fleets from North to South. This is at the core of ACMobility’s mission to build a comprehensive electric mobility system in the Philippines,” said Carla Buencamino, Head of Mobility Infrastructure at ACMobility.
“Our partnership with ACMobility is a vital component of Basic Energy’s mission to provide sustainable and accessible transport solutions for Filipinos,” said Basic Energy President and CEO Oscar De Venecia Jr. “The rollout of EV charging infrastructure across our Total and EcoOil network strengthens the foundation needed to support the growing shift to electric public transport.”
