Mober officially opened on March 10 its 3,000-square meter electronic vehicle charging hub in Pasay City, the largest of its kind in the country to date.
Located along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue, the P14-million Central Charge has a 56-port capacity to serve Mober’s mixed fleet of e-vans and e-trucks, the company said in a statement.
With a structured three-shift system, Central Charge has the capacity to charge up to 200 EV trucks daily, ensuring round-the-clock operational support for Mober’s logistics fleet.
Unlike typical public EV stations, Mober said its facility is specifically designed to meet the unique demands of logistics operations.
Equipped with 50 seven kilowatt-hour direct current chargers and two 60 kWh fast-charging units, Central Charge enables Mober to streamline operations and minimize vehicle downtime.
Central Charge is located near Metro Manila’s key commercial areas to ensure seamless mid- and last-mile delivery for clients such as IKEA, Nestlé Philippines, and Maersk.
“We are proud to launch the biggest commercial EV charging hub in the Philippines in Pasay City. At Mober, we’ve been committed to finding solutions to infrastructure challenges since our transition to EVs in 2021. Central Charge demonstrates our vision to pave the way for a cleaner, more efficient future for our clients and solidify the Philippines’ place at the forefront of sustainable logistics in Southeast Asia,” Mober founder and chief executive officer Dennis Ng said.
The expansion comes after Mober inaugurated its first charging hub in Zamora Street, Pasay City, in 2023. Its initial hub spanned 800 sqm and had 30 charging units.
To further its sustainability goals, Mober is exploring the addition of solar photovoltaic panels and a 500-kWh battery energy storage system at Central Charge. Once implemented, these upgrades will significantly reduce Mober’s carbon footprint, aligning with the company’s long-term vision.
Mober said these upgrades, along with the hub itself, will be crucial in supporting its ambitious expansion plans, which include scaling its fleet to over 500 EVs by 2026.
“Central Charge is not just an infrastructure investment, but it’s a strategic step to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly delivery solutions while maintaining our zero-emission commitment,” Ng said.
The opening of the charging hub follows Mober’s launch of the country’s first-ever full electric tractor head truck in February, further cementing its goal of leading the logistics industry’s transition to electric mobility.
Aside from Central Charge, Ng announced plans to expand with two more bigger EV charging hubs, one in the north and one in the south.
Aligning with the progressive mandates of the Electric Vehicles and Charging Systems Act, Mober said its initiatives underscore the Philippines’ “assertive stance on eco-driven policies and endeavors.”
Mober is the first mover for EV adoption in the Philippines’ delivery services sector, providing third-party last-mile and middle-mile delivery services for international and local customers under multi-year, fixed-price contracts.
