ACMobility and Shell Expand Fast-Charging Network
ACMobility and Shell Pilipinas Corporation have expanded the Philippines’ electric vehicle charging network by opening eight electric vehicle charging hubs at Shell Mobility stations, extending charging access beyond Metro Manila to major highways and provincial routes.
The expansion is part of a partnership announced in September 2025, under which ACMobility has been deploying DC fast chargers across Shell’s nationwide retail network to support the country’s growing electric vehicle market.
The latest charging hubs include locations along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in Pampanga, providing convenient charging for motorists travelling to and from destinations such as Baguio City and La Union.
Charging Network Expands Across the Philippines
The newly opened charging hubs are located across several provinces, including Pampanga, Zambales, Pangasinan, and Davao City.
The new sites include:
- Shell Mexico NLEX Northbound, Pampanga
- Shell Mexico NLEX Southbound, Pampanga
- Shell North Expressway Dau, Pampanga
- Shell Subic, Zambales
- Shell Mangaldan, Pangasinan
- Shell Tanaytay Alaminos, Pangasinan
- Shell Bago Aplaya Talomo, Davao City
- Shell Matina Enclaves, Davao City
The expanded network is designed to improve long-distance travel for EV drivers by providing reliable charging options along key transport corridors connecting cities and provinces.
Supporting the Philippine EV Spine
According to ACMobility, the rollout supports the development of the Philippine EV Spine, an initiative aimed at creating a nationwide charging network along major highways and travel routes across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Carla Buencamino, ACMobility’s Head of Mobility Infrastructure, said the partnership with Shell strengthens efforts to accelerate sustainable transportation by improving access to charging infrastructure across the country.
Shell Pilipinas also emphasized that combining its nationwide fuel station network with ACMobility’s charging expertise will better serve the country’s growing community of electric vehicle owners.
Expansion Plans Continue
The two companies plan to significantly expand the partnership over the next several years.
Their goal is to establish 50 Shell locations equipped with more than 100 charge points nationwide.
Additional charging hubs are expected to open in Pampanga, Cavite, and Camarines Sur later this year, while future sites are planned for Batangas, Bataan, and Cebu.
The continued rollout is expected to improve charging availability in both urban areas and regional travel corridors, reducing range anxiety and supporting wider EV adoption.

Digital Tools Enhance Driver Experience
Drivers can locate available charging stations through Evro, ACMobility’s partner mobile application.
The app provides real-time information on charger availability, allows users to plan charging sessions and supports digital payments through GCash and major credit cards.
These digital services are designed to make EV charging more convenient while improving accessibility for both new and existing electric vehicle owners.
Growing EV Infrastructure
ACMobility reported operating more than 200 charging locations across the Philippines as of July 2026, reflecting the rapid expansion of the country’s public EV charging infrastructure.
As electric vehicle ownership continues to increase, the company plans to continue adding charging sites beyond major business districts to support intercity travel and encourage greater EV adoption nationwide.
The partnership with Shell is expected to play a key role in creating a more connected charging network capable of supporting the Philippines’ transition toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation.
Outlook
The expansion of ACMobility and Shell’s charging network highlights the accelerating development of EV infrastructure across the Philippines as demand for electric vehicles continues to grow. By extending fast-charging services beyond Metro Manila and connecting major highways with provincial destinations, the partnership addresses one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption—charging accessibility. With plans to expand to 50 stations and more than 100 charging points, alongside ACMobility’s broader network of over 200 charging locations, the Philippines is steadily building the infrastructure needed to support long-distance electric mobility and the country’s transition to cleaner transportation.
