Tesla Philippines officially launches its first Supercharging station in the Philippines at Uptown Mall, Bonifacio Global City with 4 Superchargers.

Operating at the peak efficiency of 250kW, Supercharging can charge up a Tesla to 120km in just 5 minutes - enough for 3 round trips between 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 with just PHP 19 per kw. It just needs approx. PHP 1,140 to fully charge a Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive with a range up to 513km (WLTP) – reinforcing Tesla’s commitment to enabling convenient and efficient long-distance travel for Tesla vehicles across the region.

From the mobile Tesla app, you can view availability, monitor your charge status or get notified when you’re ready to go. The Supercharging payments are automatically processed from the payment method in Tesla App, this empowers Tesla owners to enjoy the freedom of travel and ease of charging without hassle.
