Less than a year after officially launching in the Philippines, Tesla has already registered more than 2,000 vehicles on local roads. The company says the milestone reflects the country’s growing interest in electric mobility and the strong response to its Model Y crossover.

Tesla Philippines, which started operations in November 2024, says it’s now focusing on making EV ownership easier. That means expanding charging networks and supporting home charging so owners can charge at their convenience.

The Model Y remains the center of that effort. The all-electric SUV, known for its safety record and 600-kilometer WLTP range, now comes with a one-year comprehensive insurance package at no extra cost. It’s priced from P2,369,000, with financing plans that start at around P38,810 per month, or roughly P1,152 a day, through Tesla’s partner banks.

Orders can be made online anytime through Tesla’s official Philippine website. For those concerned about charging, the company says the Model Y can add up to 283 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes through its Supercharging network.

Tesla has been steadily building that network. As of this month, there are three Supercharging stations with 12 chargers, plus five Destination Charging sites with 20 chargers. The company has also supplied more than 2,000 home chargers to local owners.

To encourage more people and companies to go electric, Tesla has launched new incentive programs. The Green Mobility Program offers incentives to partner organizations, while the Refer and Earn program rewards existing Tesla owners who bring in new buyers.

For instance, under the Refer and Earn scheme, new vehicle purchases can get a P13,000 benefit, while referrers earn P6,500. The Green Mobility Program, meanwhile, gives up to P30,000 in incentives for Model 3 and Model Y buyers through participating organizations.
