ACMobility, the electric vehicle business of the Ayala Group, is set to expand its charging network across Makati City.

By the first quarter, Makati will host 74 fully operational charging points across 18 locations, including offices, malls and condominiums.

The expansion aims to provide residents and visitors easy access to state-of-the-art charging stations as Makati solidifies its role as a central hub for electric mobility.

“ACMobility will enhance Makati’s mobility infrastructure with a comprehensive charging network, ensuring convenient and efficient solutions for residents and visitors,” Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, chief executive officer 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.”

Ideal sustainability hub

Makati City has long been recognized as one of Metro Manila’s most sustainable urban centers.

It sets benchmarks for eco-friendly initiatives and responsible governance. From strictly enforced waste regulations to innovative programs such as barangay-level recycling centers, the city has cultivated a culture of environmental stewardship among its residents, AC Mobility said in a statement.

This commitment, combined with its strategic location and progressive policies, positions Makati as an ideal hub for sustainable mobility, making it a natural partner for ACMobility’s expansion of electrified transportation solutions.

“As one of the country’s most sustainable cities, Makati continues to lead by example in building a future-ready urban environment,” Abigail “Abby” Binay, mayor of Makati City, said.

“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.”

Extensive charging network

ACMobility is spearheading the expansion of Makati’s EV charging network, ensuring sustainable urban mobility is accessible to commuters, visitors, workers and residents.

With 47 operational charging points strategically located across the city, the network serves a variety of locations such as offices, transport terminals, residential areas and commercial spaces. This includes carparks at Valero 2, Dela Rosa 1, and key areas such as the Makati Stock Exchange and Solaris One — reflecting a thoughtfully distributed network designed to integrate seamlessly into Makati’s urban landscape.

In collaboration with Ayala Land and the Makati Central Estate Association (MACEA), ACMobility will expand the network in first quarter 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.
