ACMobility opens first EV charging hub in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, at a new Kia dealership
By Eve
ACMobility has launched its first EV charging hub in Bohol, at the new Kia dealership in Tagbilaran City, with two 7kW AC chargers open to the public through the Evro app. Charging is not limited to Kia owners, and the company says this first installation will lead to more stations on the island soon. ACMobility's network, called the Philippine EV Spine, is described as the largest in the country with over 240 charging locations and more than 600 charging points.
Why it matters
The site shows a dealership-hosted, brand-agnostic model for entering a new island market, with a small AC footprint used to anchor network coverage and tourism-led demand. For CPOs and site hosts in the Philippines, it signals that ACMobility intends to extend the Spine into further Visayas locations, which may shape competition and partnership opportunities.

ACMobility wins E-Mobility Infrastructure Excellence Award at Philippine Energy Awards
ACMobility, the Ayala Group's electric mobility provider, received the E-Mobility Infrastructure Excellence Award at the 2026 Philippine Energy Awards on 7 October in Manila. The company operates more than 240 locations and over 600 charge points nationwide, representing more than 40 per cent of the Philippines' EV charging infrastructure as of end June 2026 according to DOE data. Energy Secretary Sharon Garin signed the award plaque recognising ACMobility's contribution to the Philippine energy sector and national goals.
Why it matters
The award underscores ACMobility's dominant position as the largest charge point operator in the Philippines, holding over 40 per cent market share. For procurement teams and competing CPOs, the recognition signals government backing for ACMobility's rollout pace and scale in a fast growing Southeast Asian EV market.
Solar powered EV charging in Andhra Pradesh still at an early stage despite favourable conditions
A report on Nellore says Andhra Pradesh has abundant sunshine, a growing renewable energy ecosystem and rising interest in electric mobility, but solar powered charging remains nascent. Stations use rooftop or ground mounted solar panels with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to smooth fluctuations, drawing from the grid only when necessary. The article notes that public charging infrastructure in the state remains sporadic despite growing EV sales and strong government backing, and that Convergence Energy Services Ltd. (CESL), a subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), was the first to deploy an integrated solar powered charging station in India.
Why it matters
Lower electricity costs at solar and BESS equipped sites could let charge point operators pass savings on to drivers, which makes Andhra Pradesh a potential market for integrated solar plus storage charging projects. The patchy public network, particularly for intercity travel, points to unmet demand for developers and funders.
Los Alamos County to open new DC fast charging stations at Mesa Public Library with ribbon cutting on 2 November
Los Alamos County has invited the community to a ribbon cutting ceremony on 2 November marking the opening of new Direct Current (DC) fast charging stations in the Mesa Public Library parking lot. The project was funded in part by the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). County Sustainability Manager Angelica V. Gurule described the stations as a step toward expanding public EV charging infrastructure and supporting more sustainable transport in the community.
Why it matters
This is another example of state transport funding supporting municipal DC fast charging at public civic sites, a route that can open opportunities for CPOs and installers working with local authorities. The announcement gives no figures on charger count, power output or funding value, so those details would need to be confirmed directly.
