Solarius EV Charging :Pioneering Sustainable Electric Mobility in the Philippines

The shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) in the Philippines is well underway. The convenience, utility and cost-effectiveness of EVs are primary reasons for switching from traditional fossil fuel burning vehicles. At the forefront of this transformation is Solarius EV Charging—a subsidiary of Solarius Energy founded by visionary leader and CEO Peter Wilson. The company has embraced this revolution and taken the reins to drive it forward.

Wilson's journey began with Solarius Energy, a solar installation company that rapidly became synonymous with quality, customer service and integrity. His experience with software development cultivated through his association with Silicon Valley startups enabled him to identify a pressing need in the Philippines—an efficient, convenient and reliable EV charging infrastructure.

“Most EVs have enough range to reach most places in Luzon, the county’s largest island, from Manila. Nighttime is the most convenient time to charge an EV so we’re building a nationwide network of destination chargers at hotels and resorts.” says Wilson. Destination chargers eliminate range anxiety for drivers who travel more than 200km from home as well as the inconvenience and cost of rapid journey chargers.

Comprehensive market analysis and global benchmarking paved the way for Solarius EV Charging’s strategic alliance with a renowned Taiwanese supplier Noodoe. The firm’s charge point’s management system, a cornerstone of its operations, was carefully chosen to power a user-friendly mobile application called “Solarius”, which is the interface to the company’s charging ecosystem.

This application can be downloaded through conventional app stores, allowing users to effortlessly scan QR codes, select payment methods and initiate the charging process. The firm ensures its charging stations are equipped with clear instructions and a 24-hour customer service hotline is ready to address any concern.

Solarius EV Charging has strategically positioned charging stations across the Philippines, ensuring that even remote areas have accessible charging facilities. Its fleet charging solutions showcase the company’s adaptability and commitment to cater to the evolving market needs. Solarius EV Charging empowers fleet vehicle drivers by collecting and analysing energy consumption data from the depot thereby optimising operational costs and catalysing the transition from fossil fuels.

Recognising that EV drivers most often charge their cars at home, Solarius EV Charging also offers condominium and private residential solutions. Individual tenants may install their own private chargers, while semi-private chargers in apartments and condominiums are available to all tenants. Solarius’ integrated billing mechanisms ensure that property managers always get paid for every kWh of electricity the tenants use to charge their cars.

Creating a practical and economical billing system is one of the basic pillars of Solarius EV Charging’s philosophy. The firm recognised the drawbacks of free charging services and introduced a first-of-its-kind in the Philippines, monetised framework which ensures quality, reliability, and economic viability. This resulted in energy costs significantly lower than traditional fossil fuels, providing an attractive proposition for consumers seeking savings and environmental responsibility. Aside from its charging solutions, the firm also provides consulting services to individuals since EV adoption in the Philippines is still in its early stages.

Solarius EV Charging has used the Philippines' unique geography as its canvas to create sustainable transportation that reflects the country's dynamics. The company continues to build an accessible, efficient and dependable charging infrastructure to shape the future of electric mobility in the Philippines. A new era in transportation is underway, and Solarius EV Charging is a driving force leading the country to a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future.
