Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso and Manila Vice Mayor Angela Lei “Chi” Ilagan-Atienza led the inauguration of the ACMobility EV Charging Hub at the Kartilya ng Katipunan (Bonifacio Shrine) near the Manila City Hall on October 19, 2026, with Maria Bejoc, ACMobility’s Head of Business Development and Network Operations, and Yvonne Castro, ACMobility’s Head of Government Engagements.

The hub is equipped with two EV chargers: one 22 kW AC charger, which can recharge a vehicle to up to 80 percent capacity in at least three hours, and one 30kW DC charger, which can power up an EV to up to 80 percent in 30 minutes to an hour.

ACMobility is set to build two more EV Charging Hubs in Manila, located at city-run hospitals, the Bagong Ospital ng Maynila and the Sta. Ana Hospital.

“We are honored to be the first charge point operator to open a publicly accessible charging hub in the country’s capital city. This development is significant as Manila serves as a role model for other cities and towns across the country. We hope the opening of this charging hub encourages other local government units to embrace electric mobility and start building mobility infrastructure,” said Bejoc.

Domagoso said the Manila EV charging hub shows how City Hall is looking to address future needs with tech-based solutions that private sector partners can provide.

“Here is the proof where the government is looking at the future, looking at future problems, and there will be. But in the absence of resources, or with limited resources, we work with the private sector,” the mayor said.

ACMobility operates the country’s largest network of EV Charging Hubs, known as the Philippine EV Spine, with over 240 locations and more than 600 charge points nationwide. These chargers are part of the company’s electric mobility ecosystem, which provides reliable charging solutions for the home and enterprises, as well as fleet and on-demand charging.
