Araneta City’s Green Initiative: Launching E-Vehicle Charging Stations

In a proactive move towards sustainability, Araneta City has inaugurated electric vehicle (EV) charging stations within its shopping malls and office towers.

The City of Firsts revealed its first EV charging stations in February, situated at the basement parking of Cyberparks 1 and 2. Each station is equipped with Level 2 chargers, boasting 5-meter Type 2 connector cables and a three-phase grid power supply, thereby facilitating faster charging for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

The expansion of EV charging stations is ongoing across various buildings within Araneta City.

“Araneta City remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly environment through green initiatives such as the EV charging stations. This is a crucial step towards ensuring that the City of Firsts remains adaptable and future-proof,” stated Antonio T. Mardo, Senior Vice President for Operations of Araneta City.

The installation of EV charging stations represents the latest endeavor to embed environmental sustainability within Araneta City. Previous green initiatives in the City include the deployment of solar panels at Cyberpark 1, integration of green building design elements in Cyberpark 2, adherence to LEED standards in Cyberpark 3, utilization of geothermal energy to power Ali Mall, and the introduction of Green & Go e-shuttles.

“Through these initiatives, the City of Firsts actively supports the global effort to diminish carbon footprints and embrace eco-conscious lifestyle choices,” added Mardo.
