ACMobility, Robinsons Malls team up to expand nationwide EV Spine network

MANILA: ACMobility has partnered with Robinsons Malls to put up more electric vehicle charging stations in the Philippines.

In a statement, the Ayala-led company said that the collaboration with the Gokongwei-steered firm is eyed to support the growing adoption of electric vehicles by addressing range anxiety and making EV charging more accessible, particularly in key provincial areas.

“As one of the country’s leading mall operators, Robinsons enables us to further scale our EV network through the deployment of charging infrastructure in highly accessible, high-traffic locations,” ACMobility Head of Mobility Infrastructure Carla Buencamino said.

“This partnership supports our broader goal of building a reliable, nationwide charging backbone that addresses range anxiety, strengthens connectivity between cities and provinces, and gives more Filipinos the confidence to adopt EVs as part of their everyday mobility.”

As part of the collaboration, an initial of 10 charging hubs will be opened within the opening quarter of 2026 — each equipped with two 22-kilowatt (kw) charge points (except for Robinsons Butuan which only has a pair of seven-kilowatt juice up points).

At present, five hubs are already operational situated in Robinsons Malls Ilocos Norte (Luzon); Iloilo, Roxas, and Dumaguete (Visayas); and Pagadian (Mindanao).

In the near future, additional hubs will rise in Tuguegarao, Santiago, La Union, Antique, Iligan, Butuan, and Valencia.

Per ACMobility, the collaboration “extends ACMobility’s geographic footprint while reinforcing Robinsons Malls’ role as a forward-thinking and environmentally responsible developer that responds to the changing needs of its communities.”

“By integrating EV charging infrastructure into its malls, Robinsons continues to evolve as a destination that not only delights customers but also contributes to a cleaner, greener future,” ACMobility noted.

Further, all stations under the network can be easily located using Evro — ACMobility’s partner e-mobility service provider.

Buencamino said the new charging stations are envisioned to support the growing number of EV users and encourage more Filipinos, especially those in the provinces, to switch to electric vehicles. She added that this is only the beginning, with more charging infrastructure planned for key cities as demand continues to rise.

“We want to break the misconception that EVs are only suited for city driving. By bringing these facilities closer to regional communities, we are sending a clear message: owning an EV is practical and sustainable, no matter where you live. With Robinsons Malls supporting this cause, we are confident we can bring this infrastructure to more people across the country,” she explained.
