Ayala says Makati will have over 70 charging stations by Q1 2025
ACMobility to put up more charging stations across Makati City
Ayala Group's mobility solutions arm ACMobility wants to put up more charging stations across Makati to make electrified vehicles more viable to motorists. By Q1 2025, ACMobility shared that Makati will have 74 fully operational charging stations across 18 locations.
The new charging points will include offices, malls, condominiums, and more which aims to provide residents and visitors easy access to charging stations in the city. Moreover, the expansion is also geared to solidify Makati's role as a central hub for electric mobility.
“ACMobility is excited to enhance Makati’s mobility infrastructure with a comprehensive charging network, ensuring convenient and efficient solutions for residents and visitors. 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,” said Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, CEO of ACMobility.
As of now, Makati has 47 operational charging points that are strategically located across the city. The network serves a variety of locations including offices, transport terminals, residential areas, and commercial establishments. Other charging locations can be found in car parks like Valero 2, and Dela Rosa 1, and key areas such as the Makati Stock Exchange and Solaris One.
"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. As such, we look forward to the expansion of ACMobility’s EV charging stations not only within the business district but also outside of it, making it possible for the entire Makati community to experience the benefits of electric vehicles," said Makati City Mayor Abigail "Abby" Binay.
In collaboration with Ayala Land and the Makati Central Estate Association (MACEA), ACMobility will expand the network in Q1 2025 with 27 additional charge points, including 19 DC fast charge points that provide significantly reduced charging times. Among the key additions are ultra-fast chargers at the Corinthian and Legaspi car parks, designed to enhance convenience for EV users across the city. Last but not least, ACMobility will ensure that several charging stations operate 24/7, providing reliable options for late-night and early-morning commuters.
“We are proud to support Makati’s transformation into a benchmark for sustainable urban mobility This is just the beginning, and we look forward to bringing the same level of commitment and innovation to other cities across the country, ensuring that the EV infrastructure keeps pace with the growing adoption of electric vehicles and sets the stage for a cleaner, more connected future for all,” said Carla Buencamino, Head of Mobility Infrastructure at ACMobility.
