What to Expect When Charging
Everything you need to know about DC fast charging, connectors, and getting the most out of your charging experience at WeCharge Hyperfast stations.
What is DC fast charging?
Direct Current (DC) chargers quickly deliver power to your electric vehicle's (EV) battery to cut down on charging times and get you back on the road. Often used for road trips and on-the-go charging, our DC fast chargers offer the fastest charging speeds available today with Hyper-Fast charging up to 350 kW.
WeCharge Hyperfast is the largest open Hyper-Fast charging network in the Philippines.
The Basics — How does it work?
The WeCharge charging experience was created with you in mind. When you arrive at one of our charging stations, you'll select a charger. After you plug the charger's connector into your vehicle's charging port and your payment method is verified, the charger will deliver power from the power cabinet.
Your vehicle may take a few minutes to start charging and details about your charging session will appear on the charger's screen.
Which connector should I use?
Our Hyper-Fast DC chargers support both GB/T and CCS2 to serve virtually all EV brands in the Philippine market. One car plugged in gets up to 240 kW; when two cars charge at once, power is shared equally
What Is Battery Preconditioning?
Why It Matters
Battery preconditioning is a feature that helps prepare your electric vehicle's (EV) battery reach the optimal temperature so your EV can request its highest possible charging speed at our Hyper-Fast chargers.
Extreme temperatures — too hot or too cold — can impact an EV battery's charging efficiency. Battery preconditioning warms or cools the EV's battery to the optimal temperature for charging. This means less wait time at the charger and more range on the road.
Adapter is Strictly Prohibited
Adaptor Use Policy To ensure safe and reliable charging, WeCharge HyperFast stations are designed to operate only with Type 2 EV chargers. The use of any kind of adaptor, converter, or non-standard connector is strictly prohibited. For your protection and the longevity of our equipment, always use the correct Type 2 connector without modification.
What happens when I plug in?
First, your electric vehicle (EV) requests power (kW) from the charger. Then, the charger delivers power directly to your vehicle's battery. The amount of power requested may be affected by temperature, battery health, and battery level.
What happens when I charge?
At the beginning of a charging session, most electric vehicles send an initial State of Charge (SOC) to the charger. SOC indicates how "full" your vehicle's battery is and—if sent to our chargers—can be found on the charger's screen or in the WeCharge Hyperfast app. If available, the SOC will be updated as your vehicle charges, though some EVs are not capable of sending our chargers this information.
Toward the end of your session, you may notice charging speeds (kW) slow down. Many vehicles "bulk charge" and slow their charging speed when they reach about 80%. Because of this, we recommend unplugging your vehicle after bulk charging has occurred. To receive updates about your SOC and other charging information, download the WeCharge Hyperfast app.
