Tesla ends its first year in the Philippines with a lion’s share of the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market. As of the latest CAMPI-TMA sales data, Tesla has managed to corner a 54 percent BEV market share. More than 2,200 units of the Model 3 and Model Y have been delivered to Filipino customers.
Further capping their commercial success, Tesla also managed to set new benchmarks in terms of energy efficiency at the 2025 Department of Energy (DOE) Fuel Economy Run. The Tesla Model 3 (rear-wheel drive) is the country’s most energy efficient vehicle with an outstanding 92.31 km/Lge rating. Read our full review. The Tesla Model Y (rear-wheel drive) wasn’t too far behind with an 84.63 km/Lge rating.
By comparison, other BEVs that participated in the DOE Fuel Economy Run managed just 37.04 km/Lge (Nissan Kicks e-Power), 71.03 km/Lge (MG 4 Lux), 55.66 km/Lge (Lexus RZ 450e), 71.71 km/Lge (Lynk & Co 02). In fact, the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are the most energy efficient vehicles in the country, beating out every other ICE, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid model that participated.
The Department of Energy has adopted the km/Lge standard which measures consumption on a “kilometers per liter of gas equivalent.” While gas-powered vehicles have a 1 L to 1 Lge equivalent, diesel-fed vehicles, have a 1L diesel to 1.077 Lge conversion. Meanwhile, electric vehicles will have a 1 Lge to 8.89 kWh conversion.
Efficiency aside, Tesla is committed to providing a seamless and convenient charging experience with a growing network of dedicated charging stations. As of this month, Tesla is operating three Supercharging stations with 12 Superchargers and six Destination Charging stations with 24 Destination Chargers in the Philippines. With the lowest EV charging rates in the market, Tesla makes electric vehicle ownership both convenient and cost-efficient.
To further accelerate EV adoption and achieve sustainable abundance, Tesla has introduced various programs to make EV ownership more accessible and rewarding:
- Refer and Earn Program, which encourages owners to advocate for sustainable mobility. Owners can earn up to P 6,500 credits through each successful referral; while new owners can get P 13,000 incentives for their new Tesla by using a valid referral link from an existing owner.
- Complimentary Insurance for the Model Y is available until December 31, 2025. while stock lasts. This limited 1-year comprehensive insurance offer comes as a big saving making it the best time to purchase Tesla’s best-selling electric SUV.
- Exclusive privileges for Tesla owners via the Tesla Owners Club.
