Philippine electric vehicle (EV) logistics firm Mober said Tuesday that it has officially opened Central Charge, the largest commercial EV Charging hub in the country to date.

The firm said in a statement that facility located along D. Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City covers 3,000 square meters with a 56-port capacity to serve Mober’s mixed fleet of e-vans and e-trucks.

With a structured three-shift system, it has the capacity to charge up to 200 EV trucks daily, ensuring round-the-clock operational support for its logistics fleet.

Unlike typical public EV stations, Central Charge is specifically designed to meet the unique demands of logistics operations.

Equipped with 50 7kW DC chargers and two 60kWh fast-charging units, Central Charge enables Mober to streamline operations and minimize vehicle downtime.

Central Charge is strategically 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.

The expansion comes after Mober inaugurated its first charging hub in Zamora Street, Pasay City, in 2023.

Its initial hub spanned 800 square meters and had 30 charging units.

To further its sustainability goals, Mober said it is exploring the addition of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and a 500 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Central Charge.

Once implemented, these upgrades will significantly reduce Mober’s carbon footprint, aligning with the company’s long-term vision.

These upgrades, along with the hub itself, will be crucial in supporting Mober’s ambitious expansion plans, which include scaling its fleet to over 500 EVs by 2026.

Mober Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Ng emphasized the importance of the launch of Central Charge in furthering the country’s efforts towards green mobility.

“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,” Ng said.

According to Ng, 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.

This latest milestone follows Mober’s landmark launch of the country’s first-ever tractor head truck in February, further cementing its goal of leading the logistics industry’s transition to electric mobility.

Aligning with the progressive mandates of the Electric Vehicles and Charging Systems (EVIDA) Act, Mober said its initiatives underscore the Philippines’ assertive stance on eco-driven policies and endeavors.

With the launch of Central Charge, Mober said the firm is set to strengthen the foundation for a greener future for Philippine logistics.

Established in July 2015, Mober focuses on assisting businesses in decarbonizing their delivery processes.
