Tesla Malaysia opens a new Supercharging Station in Pavilion Bukit Jalil

KUALA LUMPUR: Tesla is on a mission to enhance the EV infrastructure in Malaysia, making electric vehicle ownership more accessible and practical for buyers. The top-selling EV brand recently inaugurated a new Supercharging Station In Pavilion Bukit Jalil consisting of 6 Superchargers and 2 Destination Chargers.

The new Tesla Supercharging Station is located at the shopping mall’s B1 carpark near Pillar H19. The deployed superchargers offer a peak charging efficiency of 250kW, which means the Model 3 can recharge up to 282 km of range in just 15 minutes.

The two Destination Charging bays at the station are meant for those EV owners who plan to stay at the shopping mall for a longer time. When connected to the Wall Connector at the Destination Charging bays, both the Model 3 and Model Y are capable of supporting up to 11kW of AC charging.

Just like other Tesla supercharging centres, the latest one is also exclusive to Tesla EV owners. As the automaker has yet to enable non-Tesla supercharging functionality in Malaysia, the Destination Charging bays are also specifically labelled as "Tesla Charging Only," indicating that the Wall Connectors are programmed to support only Tesla EVs.

The Tesla Supercharging Station at Pavilion Bukit Jalil is open 24 hours; the charging rates are as follows:

• Charger - The supercharging rate is RM 1.25/kWh, with an idle fee of up to RM 4.00 per minute when the station is 100% occupied
• Carpark (Monday-Friday) - The charging rate is RM 2.00 for the first 2 hours or part thereof, RM 1.00 for every subsequent hour or part thereof, with a maximum charge of RM 15.00 per day (7am-7am)
• Carpark (Weekends & Public Holidays) - The charging rate is RM 3.00 for the first hour or part thereof, RM 1.00 for every subsequent hour or part thereof, with a maximum charge of RM 15.00 per day (7am-7am)
