Your Guide to EV Charging in the Philippines

Planning to drive an EV in the Philippines? The charging infrastructure is growing, with 397 public points currently listed in our database. Most are Level 2, but a growing number offer DC fast charging. This guide covers what drivers need to know.

The Philippines has 397 public EV charging points in our database. Of these, 8 offer speeds of 150 kW or higher, and 65 provide 50-149 kW charging. This indicates a developing but still limited DC fast-charging network, with most chargers operating at lower speeds.

Leading cities for charger density include Quezon City with 30 points, Taguig City with 24, and Makati City with 18. Cebu City and Baguio City also have a notable presence with 16 and 10 points respectively. Drivers will encounter a mix of operators, from national oil companies expanding into EV services to dedicated charging network providers.

Home charging is typically the most affordable option. Public charging costs vary by network and speed. DC fast charging is generally more expensive than Level 2 charging. Specific pricing models can include per-minute, per-kilowatt-hour, or session-based fees. Expect costs to be higher than home electricity rates.

Government incentives for EVs and charging infrastructure exist, but details can change. Most networks use the Type 2 connector for AC charging and CCS 2 for DC fast charging, though CHAdeMO chargers may still be found. For foreign drivers, downloading apps for major charging networks before arrival can be helpful, as many require registration and payment setup.

While the network is expanding, be prepared for fewer options outside major urban centers. Plan your routes carefully and consider carrying a portable charger as a backup.
