NLEX expands EV charging to six service stops
Two more Shell Recharge sites are scheduled to open in December 2026, with four charging points planned at each location.
NLEX Corporation said its expressway network had 20 electric vehicle charging points across six service stops as of November 2026. The expanded network serves motorists travelling between Metro Manila and Central Luzon, with chargers rated from 22 kilowatts (kW) to 240 kW.
Northbound charging locations include Total San Simon, Shell Mexico and Petron Marilao. Southbound motorists can charge at Petron Bocaue, Drive & Dine and Shell Mexico. At kilometre 17, Drive & Dine has seven charging units, including 240-kW DC fast chargers that NLEX described as the highest-capacity units on its network.
CCS2 and Type 2 connectors are supported at the facilities. Drivers can also use GB/T connectors at Drive & Dine and Total San Simon. NLEX said it supplies the locations, while service partners operate the stations and set their own charging prices.
The December additions are planned for Shell Burol, at kilometre 32 on the northbound side, and Shell of Asia, at kilometre 36 southbound. Separately, NLEX said the Toll Regulatory Board had approved six more service facilities along NLEX and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, on the stretch between Bocaue and Concepcion.
