Tesla Malaysia: Here are the first 10 Supercharger locations in Malaysia - SoyaCincau
Prior to the official arrival of the brand in our local market next week, the Tesla Supercharger sites in Malaysia have been unveiled on their website. This announcement comes after the disclosure of the prices for the Model Y in Malaysia, starting from RM199,000.
As stated in the "Locate Us" section of the website, the initial installment of Tesla Supercharger stations in Malaysia will be set up in ten different areas. Let's take a look at these locations:
In relation to the undisclosed area in Negeri Sembilan, it is likely that the Supercharger will be situated along the North-South Expressway (PLUS) according to the marked location on the map. Likewise, one of the unmentioned places in Kuala Lumpur appears to be the Maju Expressway (MEX) while the other can be found on Jalan Kuching.
Please be aware that none of these Superchargers are currently operational, and it is reasonable to assume that the pin on the map only provides a general idea. Tesla has actually stated on its website that the expected opening dates for all of them have not been confirmed yet. Additionally, the list of Superchargers is updated every quarter.
The powerful Tesla Supercharger has the capability to provide a whopping 250kW of energy, aligning perfectly with the maximum charging rate of the Tesla Model Y. According to the information found on the brand's official website, users have the incredible opportunity to acquire a remarkable range of up to 270km in just a mere 15 minutes of charging time.
Tesla has not disclosed the cost for utilizing Superchargers in Malaysia, however, they have mentioned that the payment will be conveniently handled through the Tesla application. Furthermore, Tesla will introduce additional fees for those who keep their Tesla connected to the Supercharger even after the charging session has been completed.
The Battery Electric Vehicle Global Leaders program set by the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry mandates Tesla to establish a minimum of 50 Superchargers across Malaysia within a span of three years, as stated by Minister Tengku Zafrul.
Furthermore, these Superchargers need to have a minimum capacity of 180kW. Additionally, Tesla must ensure that a minimum of 30% of these charging stations are compatible with electric vehicles produced by other manufacturers.
