EV charging for Tesla in the Philippines
Tesla officially entered the Philippines in 2024, bringing the Model 3 and Model Y to local roads. Philippine-market Teslas use the Type 2 plug for AC charging and CCS2 for DC fast charging — the same standards as most other EVs here — so you can charge at virtually any public station, not just a branded network.
What connector does a Tesla use?
Tesla models in the Philippines (Model 3, Model Y) 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.
CCS2 (DC)
the DC fast-charging standard for the Philippines, found at most public fast chargers for quick top-ups on the road.
Where to charge your Tesla
With Type2 (AC) + CCS2 (DC), your Tesla 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 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.
