EV charging for Toyota in the Philippines
Toyota's first all-electric model for the Philippines is the bZ4X, which charges on Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC) like most EVs here. Important: conventional Toyota hybrids such as the Corolla Cross HEV and RAV4 HEV do NOT plug in at all — only the battery-electric bZ4X and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models can be charged.
What connector does a Toyota use?
Toyota models in the Philippines (bZ4X) 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.
Good to know: Only Toyota's battery-electric bZ4X and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) charge from a plug. Self-charging hybrids like the Corolla Cross HEV, Camry HEV and RAV4 HEV recharge their battery from the engine and brakes — they never need (and cannot use) an EV charger.
Where to charge your Toyota
With Type2 (AC) + CCS2 (DC), your Toyota 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 Toyota in the Philippines — FAQ
What charging connector does a Toyota use in the Philippines?+
The Toyota bZ4X uses Type2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC) in the Philippines. Type 2 handles everyday and overnight AC charging, while CCS2 is used for DC fast charging on the road. Conventional Toyota hybrids (Corolla Cross HEV, RAV4 HEV) do not plug in and cannot be charged.
Where can I charge my Toyota?+
You can charge a Toyota bZ4X 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 Toyota 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 Toyota at home?+
Yes. The Toyota bZ4X 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.
