Good news for EV drivers. There’s a new, free charging station within the city at Seven/NEO Bonifacio Global City Taguig.

Shell Pilipinas Corporation and sustainable real estate leader NEO revealed their latest Shell Recharge station offering at Seven/NEO Bonifacio Global City Taguig. Charging at Seven/NEO BGC is currently free of charge.

The Shell Recharge charging station has two AC22kW charging points capable of charging 2 vehicles simultaneously with up to 22kWh per charging point. This means an EV with a 60kWh battery can be charged from 0-80% in just a few hours. True to the purpose of sustainable decarbonization, the EV charging location is 100% renewable as it is powered with geothermal energy. This is Shell’s first 100% geothermal powered charger globally. 

At the opening event the first Electric Vehicles to charge were Shell’s very own fleet of electric service vehicles used to service Shell staff from Shell Business Operations Manila.
