MANILA, Philippines — Mober, a frontrunner in green logistics services, is positioning the Philippines as a leader in sustainable logistics as it officially opens Central Charge, the largest commercial EV charging hub in the country to date.

The state-of-the-art 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.

“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 CEO 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 square meters and had 30 charging units.
