ACMobility opens charging station at Lucena City, Quezon

EV owners who wish to go on a long road trip will now be able to travel up to Southern Luzon all the way to Bicol and beyond. This comes after ACMobility, Ayala’s mobility arm and the leading provider of EV charging solutions and infrastructure in the Philippines, expanded its nationwide EV charging network south of Metro Manila.

The company recently launched a new EV Charging Station (EVCS) in Lucena City, Quezon, at PTT Lucena, which is just across the Lucena City Government Complex. With it, the charging hub strengthens connectivity between the region, making long-distance EV travel to South Luzon and Bicol possible.

The Lucena EVCS now serves as a critical stopover that supports long-distance travel along the southern corridor of Luzon. As more EV charging hubs continue to open in strategic locations across Luzon, motorists can now travel farther with less range anxiety. The Lucena site also offers a comfortable break for travelers, with nearby restaurants and convenience stops that make it an ideal pitstop for long drives.

The Lucena station is equipped with a fast 120 kW DC charger that has two charge points and a 22 kW AC charger with one charge point for standard use. Soon, two more AC chargers will be installed in the Giant Lucena station along Evo Tourism Road to serve more residents, travelers, and future EV users. All chargers are likewise supported by the Evro app, allowing users to locate stations, check availability, charge, and pay with ease.

The site was also built for future e-mobility solutions, capable of supporting not only private EVs but also upcoming electrified public transport such as e-jeepneys, fleets, and LGU-led mobility initiatives.

“We are building up Lucena City as a gateway location for wider inter-regional mobility in the country. With this new charging infrastructure built at the heart of Lucena, we are enabling more EV owners to travel confidently from South Luzon all the way to Bicol, helping build a more sustainable and connected transport ecosystem,” said Mark Alcala, Mayor of Lucena City.

The Lucena City Government, led by Mayor Mark Alcala, is also exploring the installation of additional EV charging stations on LGU-owned properties across the city. This initiative aims to make EV charging more accessible to residents and visitors alike—further reinforcing Lucena’s position as a forward-looking city championing sustainability and clean transport.

“Every new station means more freedom for EV drivers to go farther and explore more. We want Filipinos to enjoy the journey as much as the destination, with the confidence that they can charge reliably along the way, anywhere in the country,” shared Carla Buencamino, Head of Mobility Infrastructure at ACMobility.
