How many EV charging stations are in the Philippines?
We mapped 593 public charging stations across the country — and the picture is lopsided. Metro Manila alone holds 47.2% of them, charging thins out fast outside Luzon, and one region — BARMM — has none at all. Here's where every public charger is.

EV charging is a Metro Manila story
Nearly half of every public charger in the Philippines sits in Metro Manila. Add CALABARZON and Central Luzon, and the top three regions hold the large majority of the country's charging. The further you drive from the capital, the thinner it gets — until it disappears.

The EV charging deserts
5 regions have three or fewer public charging stations. BARMM has none on record — the only region in the country with zero. Eastern Visayas and SOCCSKSARGEN have about one each. For an EV owner outside Luzon and a few city hubs, a long trip still means careful planning around scarce, mostly-AC chargers.

Methodology & sources
This is an aggregation of public data, captured June 2026. We combined three sources into one deduplicated, geocoded map (stations within ~150 m of each other are merged): the Department of Energy's EVCS Locator (the authoritative registry, our spine), OpenChargeMap (open community data, for independents), and operator locators such as Voltai (battery swap). We count distinct public stations (593 total; 561 plug-in + 32 battery-swap). The DOE separately reports ~1,694 charging points (individual connectors, including 528 two-wheeler battery-swap points) — a different unit. Regions follow the 17 official administrative regions.
