MANILA, Philippines – Mobility startup venture Voltai, which is backed by Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower) through 1882 Energy Ventures, is looking to expand its motorcycle battery-swapping stations starting 2027, targeting around 1,000 over the medium term.

“Our current network density is already sufficient to cover our targets for the next year or so. We’ll probably see more network expansion by next year,” said Voltai Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Nico Policarpio. “Our current priority is first to saturate Metro Manila and then go up to the north and south of it.”

Since its launch in October last year, Voltai has strategically placed 15 battery-swapping stations spread across Cleanfuel gasoline stations in Metro Manila, creating what is already the largest 2W electric vehicle (EV) swap network in the Philippines.
