Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is AC Level 2 charging, and how is it different from DC fast charging?A: AC Level 2 charging delivers 7kW of alternating current power, which your vehicle’s onboard converter transforms into direct current for the battery. This is ideal for extended stops (2-6 hours) and is more cost-effective to install and operate. DC fast charging delivers higher power (50kW+) directly to the battery for rapid 30-45 minute sessions. At Syquio Gas Station, our 7kW AC units are perfect for travelers taking a break, working remotely, or enjoying a meal in Cabanatuan City.
Q2: How long will it take to charge my EV?A: Charging time depends on your battery size and current charge level. With our 7kW AC chargers:
- Small battery EVs (30-40 kWh): ~4-5 hours for 20%-80%
- Medium battery EVs (50-65 kWh): ~6-8 hours for 20%-80%
- Large battery EVs (75+ kWh): ~8-10 hours for 20%-80%
For a quick top-up during a meal break (1-2 hours), expect to add 25-50 km of range.
Q3: Is it safe to leave my car charging while I go into the store or explore the city?A: Absolutely. Our charging stations feature multiple safety systems including overcurrent protection, ground fault detection, and automatic shutoff. The parking area is monitored by Syquio’s 24/7 security team and CCTV. You’ll receive instant notifications if any issue arises.
Q4: What happens if both charging units are occupied when I arrive?A: You can check real-time availability through the GALAXY CHARGE App before heading over. If both units are in use, the app will show estimated wait times. We recommend charging during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening) for immediate access. As EV adoption grows in Nueva Ecija, we plan to expand capacity at this location.
Q5: Do you support Tesla vehicles?A: Yes! Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners can charge using our Type 2 connectors with the appropriate Tesla-to-Type 2 adapter (usually included with your vehicle in the Philippines). Tesla Model S and X owners may need a specific adapter—please check your vehicle’s compatibility before visiting.
