ACMobility Deploys Mobile EV Charging in Philippines

Why this is here: ACMobility’s electric charging vans can access underground parking facilities, a feature enabled by the use of lower-profile BYD T3 models suited for Metro Manila’s infrastructure.

ACMobility launched “Power-on-Wheels” in Metro Manila, Philippines, offering on-demand DC fast-charging via an app. The company currently operates ten electric vans—BYD T3, DFSK EC35, and DFSK EC31 models—across major business districts like Makati and Bonifacio Global City. These vans dispatch to EVs needing a charge, offering service from 20 to 80 percent capacity.

The mobile system addresses challenges specific to the Philippines, including dense urban areas, limited parking, and aging electrical grids. ACMobility developed the system in partnership with Singapore’s Power-Up Tech, which operates similar services in Singapore and Malaysia. Each van holds up to 120 kilowatt-hours of battery storage and supports CCS2 and GB/T standards.

While the service costs roughly ₱35 per kilowatt-hour, aligning with conventional rates, it remains a temporary solution. The long-term success of mobile charging depends on the expansion of fixed charging infrastructure and consumer demand. The company continues to test scalability and integration into daily EV use.
