EV charging for Nissan in the Philippines
The Nissan Leaf is one of the longest-running EVs on Philippine roads. Unlike most newer EVs, the Leaf uses Type 2 for AC charging but CHAdeMO for DC fast charging — so Leaf owners should check that a public fast charger offers a CHAdeMO plug before relying on it.
What connector does a Nissan use?
Nissan models in the Philippines (Leaf) use these plugs:
Type2 (AC)
the standard AC plug for everyday and overnight charging — what most home and mall wall-boxes in the Philippines use.
CHAdeMO (DC)
the Japanese-origin DC fast-charging plug used by the Nissan Leaf; still supported at many public fast chargers here.
Where to charge your Nissan
With Type2 (AC) + CHAdeMO (DC), your Nissan can charge almost anywhere EVs charge in the Philippines — at home, while you shop, and on the road. EVChargePH lets you see live availability and reserve a slot before you drive.
At home
Plug into a Type 2 wall-box overnight at the ~₱11–₱13/kWh home rate — the cheapest and most convenient way to charge.
At malls & offices
Top up while you shop, dine or work. Many Metro Manila and Cebu mall garages now host EV chargers.
On the road
Use public DC fast chargers along major routes for a quick top-up on longer drives across the country.
Popular cities: Makati, Quezon City, Cebu City and Davao City.
Charging a Nissan in the Philippines — FAQ
What charging connector does a Nissan use in the Philippines?+
A Nissan uses Type2 (AC) and CHAdeMO (DC) in the Philippines. Type 2 handles everyday and overnight AC charging, while CHAdeMO is used for DC fast charging on the road. Because the Leaf uses CHAdeMO rather than the more common CCS2, check that a public fast charger offers a CHAdeMO plug before you rely on it.
Where can I charge my Nissan?+
You can charge your Nissan at home on a Type 2 wall-box, at malls and offices, and at public DC fast chargers along major routes. EVChargePH maps charging stations across Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao and beyond — open the live map to see availability near you and reserve a slot before you drive.
How much does it cost to charge a Nissan in the Philippines?+
Charging at home costs roughly ₱11–₱13 per kWh on a typical Meralco residential rate, so a full charge is usually a few hundred pesos depending on battery size. Public chargers on EVChargePH show a clear per-hour rate up front — you always see the price before you reserve, with no hidden fees.
Can I charge my Nissan at home?+
Yes. Your Nissan can charge from a standard home outlet for a slow top-up, but most owners install a Type 2 wall-box for faster, safer overnight charging at the ~₱11–₱13/kWh home rate. If you have a charger at home, you can also list it on EVChargePH and earn from nearby drivers.
