RLC launches GoCharge, commits to 2,000 EV chargers nationwide

Published Mar 4, 2025 02:46 am

Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), the Gokongwei Group’s property development unit, is planning to partner with electric vehicle (EV) and energy industry leaders to deploy 2,000 chargers across their various developments all over the country within five years.

The firm said it has just launched its inaugural GoCharge EV charging station at GBF Center 1 in its Bridgetowne Destination Estate in Quezon City, to set the stage for a sustainable mobility revolution.

RLC teamed up with its project partner Wuling Philippines for an initial deployment comprising car chargers and motorcycle chargers powered entirely by green energy, courtesy of the solar panels installed by Wuling atop the tower in late 2024.

In addition to standard charging units offering 220V/32A at 7KW with a full charge time of six to seven hours, the new GoCharge hub also includes fast-charging units delivering 400V with 114-228A at 60-120KW, allowing vehicles to charge in as little as 30 minutes.

“I believe RLC and Wuling share a vision of creating a more sustainable and future-ready Philippines. As with Wuling, RLC is deeply committed to innovation and excellence,” said RLC President and CEO Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio.

Reaffirming this commitment across the company’s diverse portfolio—including office buildings, malls, industrial and logistics facilities, hotels and resorts, condominiums, and destination estates—GoBio highlighted the growing demand for green solutions and emphasized that the future of mobility is electric.

“Our answer to that is GoCharge, RLC’s initiative to build a robust and expansive network of EV charging solutions. We see Wuling as a very good partner in this initiative,” she noted.

RLC Senior Vice President and Robinsons Offices General Manager Jericho P. Go said RLC’s advocacy for electric mobility—helping make EV ownership more convenient and accessible for everyone—can transform Filipino lives.

“When people think of EVs, the common denominator is sustainability or that it helps reduce our carbon footprint. However, there’s also a transformative economic impact that’s not often talked about,” said Go.

He added that, “For an ordinary Filipino family, the savings on ever-rising fuel costs can make a significant difference in their daily life. That money could be redirected to more nutritious food, paying bills, children’s allowances, improved education, healthcare, or even expanding a business.

“With more affordable mobility and reduced expenses, we can help level the playing field and truly improve lives.”

RLC said it remains open to collaborating with other leading EV brands on future GoCharge stations to ensure the widest possible reach and best technology for its customers.

By investing in advanced EV-charging infrastructure, RLC supports the shift to electric mobility and solidifies its role as a true champion of meaningful sustainability.

The company’s green initiatives go beyond mere compliance—they reflect a steadfast commitment to creating eco-conscious developments that uplift communities and inspire a greener way of life.
