Tesla Philippines launched its first Supercharging station today at Uptown Mall, Bonifacio Global City, with four Superchargers. This signifies a significant step forward in enabling electric vehicle charging across the country, and Tesla will continue to work on expanding its charging network.
Operating at the peak efficiency of 250 kW, Supercharging can charge a Tesla to 120 km in just 5 minutes—enough for 3 round trips between the Tesla Experience Centre at Uptown Parade and Quezon City. Supercharging will be available on a pay-per-use basis, offering Tesla owners an exceptional charging experience for just PHP 19 per kW. It requires approximately PHP 1,140 to fully charge a Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive with a range of up to 513 km (WLTP)—reinforcing Tesla’s commitment to enabling convenient and efficient long-distance travel for Tesla vehicles across the region.
Tesla aims to provide a comprehensive charging solution and a seamless Tesla experience through technology. ‘Plug in, charge, and go’ best describes the Tesla charging experience. With automated charger detection, the cover flips open, allowing the charger to plug in. The mobile Tesla app lets you view availability, monitor your charge status, or get notified when you’re ready to go. Supercharging payments are automatically processed through the Tesla App payment method. This empowers Tesla owners to enjoy the freedom of travel and the ease of charging without hassle.
“Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Tesla enables the use of electric vehicles by building charging infrastructure around people’s lifestyles. Tesla will keep expanding our charging network to create a seamless EV experience in the Philippines, we will collaborate closely in the near future” said Isabel Fan, Regional Director of Tesla.
Isabel Fan, Regional Director of Tesla, led the first Supercharger launch. The launch was graced by the presence of key officials of the Department of Energy (DOE) – Undersecretary Sharon Garin, Undersecretary Felix William “Wimpy” Fuentebella, Assistant Secretary Ronald Conquilla and Director Patrick Aquino who handles the Alternative Energy Division of the DOE, Fort Bonifacio Barangay Chairman Jorge Bocobo representing Mayor Laarni “Lani” Cayetano, and Megaworld Vice President & Head for Mall Operations Support Department Rene Arnobit representing Kevin Tan, President and CEO of Alliance Global Group, Inc, parent company of Megaworld.
