In a statement on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025, the company said this expansion aligns with Makati's commitment to sustainability and provides residents and visitors with increased access to charging stations for electric vehicles.
“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, CEO of ACMobility. "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."
Commitment to sustainability
Makati City is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable urban development, implementing various eco-friendly policies, including waste management regulations and recycling initiatives. The city’s proactive approach to environmental responsibility makes it an ideal partner for ACMobility’s EV infrastructure expansion, the firm said.
Makati Mayor Abigail Binay emphasized the importance of sustainable mobility in the city’s growth strategy.
“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 Makatizens,” she said.
Robust EV charging network
ACMobility currently operates 47 charging stations in Makati, located in key areas such as Valero 2, Dela Rosa 1, and high-traffic locations like the Makati Stock Exchange and Solaris One. These stations cater to a diverse range of users, including office workers, commuters, and residents.
In partnership with Ayala Land and the Makati Central Estate Association (MACEA), the upcoming expansion will see an additional 27 charging points, with 19 DC fast chargers that significantly reduce charging time. Among the new locations, ultra-fast chargers will be installed at the Corinthian and Legaspi car parks, offering increased accessibility for EV users.
To support Makati's round-the-clock business environment, several charging stations will operate 24/7, providing a reliable solution for late-night and early-morning commuters.
Future of mobility in the Philippines
The expansion of ACMobility’s EV charging network in Makati is part of a larger vision to accelerate the Philippines' transition to sustainable transportation.
“We are proud to support Makati’s transformation into a benchmark for sustainable urban mobility,” said Carla Buencamino, head of mobility infrastructure at ACMobility. “This is just the beginning, and we look forward to bringing the same level of commitment and innovation to other cities across the country.”
