Super Volt is building the future of electric mobility in the Philippines — cable-free, fast, and accessible for everyone.
From urban e-trike corridors to highway charging for cars and heavy-duty fleets, our systems are designed to eliminate range anxiety, reduce costs, and support cleaner air across cities and provinces. Here’s a clear overview of our full lineup — all plug-free, modular, and ready to scale nationwide.
1. Pasig River Pilot (PRP) – Bidirectional Urban Corridor
A 5-mile (8 km) wireless charging path along the Pasig River, built for mixed light traffic: e-trikes (primary with 4.4 kWh batteries), e-bikes, and light delivery pods (up to 20 kWh).
Bidirectional charging in both directions with staggered active zones for efficient coverage.
Delivers meaningful range extension on every trip — enough surplus energy for daily routes.
Projected benefits: $150/year savings per operator, $634,857/year total energy savings, over 50 local jobs (salespeople earning commissions on receiver sales, meter checkers/technicians monitoring sensors and system health).
Supports EVIDA (RA 11697) and the Marcos administration’s Pasig River Urban Development Project.
How the Pasig River Corridor Works: Staggered Sections and Purposeful Gaps
The corridor uses 30 segments total (15 outbound + 15 inbound) in a staggered layout to ensure efficient coverage in both directions without interference. This "vice versa" design means active charging zones in one direction align with gaps in the other, maximizing energy delivery while keeping the system compact and cost-effective.
Gaps between active zones are intentional — they reduce deployment costs, lower EMF exposure, and simplify maintenance. Instead of a fully continuous corridor, these gaps create focused "pulses" of charging as vehicles pass. This approach is more than sufficient for urban speeds and daily routes, delivering reliable top-ups while preserving battery health and system longevity.
Taking Pressure Off Busy Streets & Boosting Downtown Vitality
One of the most powerful benefits of the Pasig River Pilot is that it takes slower-moving traffic (e-trikes and e-bikes) off Manila’s congested main streets, creating dedicated charging lanes for them and reducing congestion for faster vehicles. This opens up more space on main roads while giving e-trike operators safe, reliable routes with wireless charging built in.
The result? More traffic flows into downtown areas without increasing overall roadway congestion. E-trike drivers can confidently extend their routes, reach more customers, and support local businesses along the river corridor. This creates a virtuous cycle: increased foot traffic and economic activity in urban centers, reduced reliance on diesel, and less strain on already crowded roads.
Looking Ahead: Enhancing the Pilot Network
To make the corridor even more practical and scalable, we recommend implementing charging garages at each end of the pilot. These dedicated hubs would offer stationary top-ups for vehicles starting or ending their routes, fleet management support, and overnight charging for operators who prefer it. Combined with the dynamic corridor, they would provide full flexibility.
We also suggest adding uncharged connecting side streets every 2 km along the main corridor. These side roads would allow seamless integration with existing neighborhood routes, giving e-trike drivers easy access to more destinations without needing full charging infrastructure on every street.
Building along this corridor also opens up exciting opportunities for new businesses: coffee shops, pastry shops, electronics stores specializing in e-bike and e-trike accessories, repair stations, and more. The increased foot traffic and reliable mobility will naturally attract entrepreneurs and create vibrant commercial strips along the river.
The Full Super Volt System Lineup
2. Intercity / Highway Corridors for Cars & Light Vehicles 8 km bidirectional highway corridors (expandable nationwide), with automatic modulation for seamless charging at speed.
Up to 150 kW per section — full charge equivalent in ~9.9 minutes at 60 mph for passenger cars.
Capped safely by the vehicle’s BMS to protect batteries.
Range added: up to ~67 km one-way (capped) for typical cars — perfect for long commutes and provincial travel.
3. Highway Corridors for Heavy-Duty (Buses & Semis) Same infrastructure as above, optimized for large batteries (100 kWh+).
Up to 150 kW per section with higher burst capability.
Full charge equivalent in ~9.9 minutes at 60 mph (capped by BMS).
Enables smaller batteries and more payload — major savings vs. diesel (40–60% lower operating costs).
4. Static Bays – Plug-Free Parking & Depot Charging Three levels for different needs:
Standard Bays (23 kW): Quick top-ups for e-trikes and e-bikes — ideal for depots and parking.
Premium Bays (100 kW): Fast charging for cars and medium fleets — 15–30 minutes for 20–80% on typical EV batteries.
Ultra Bays (150 kW): High-power for buses and trucks — 20–45 minutes for 20–80% on large packs.
All bays use RFID/BMS auto-detection — no cables, no queues, just park and charge.
Why Super Volt Matters for the Philippines
Savings & Equity: Lower energy costs for drivers, more income for families.
Jobs: Local roles in sales (commission-based receiver sales), technicians (monitoring sensors and system health), installation, and maintenance.
Environment: Significant CO₂ reduction, cleaner air, alignment with SDGs 7, 11, and 13.
Scalability: Modular design — start small (like Pasig), expand to highways and nationwide networks.
Super Volt is ready to power a cleaner, more affordable, and more connected Philippines — one corridor, one bay, one driver at a time.
