In addition to introducing a new Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive variant and adjusting the pricing for the Model 3 Highland, Tesla Malaysia also announced that it currently operates 15 Supercharging stations nationwide, with a total of 68 Superchargers available to use.
These are joined by 16 Destination Charging stations with 73 Destination Chargers to support over 10,000 Tesla owners on the road in Malaysia. Destination Chargers are AC chargers that differ from Superchargers which provide faster DC charging.
According to Tesla Malaysia, more charging stations are set to come online by the end of 2025, including at Pavilion Damansara Heights, Nexus Bangsar South as well as the The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey. The company also noted that under its Home Charging Program, there are currently over 8,000 owners who own a charger at home in Malaysia. Pricing for a home charger starts from RM1,900 and come with a one-year warranty.
A requirement for Tesla’s AP exemption when its approval was secured under the BEV Global Leaders programme in 2023 was that at least 30% of its DC fast chargers (with a minimum of 180 kW) are open to the public, and for use by EVs from other brands from 2025, but this has yet to happen.

Typical type c. When bumi company do bad they cryfathercrymother but when type c company mess up suddenly become defensive
MITI got conned with this ridiculous arrangement with Tesla. No AP and 30% chargers open to public.
Although, at the time this deal was done, MY’s EV landscape was in its infancy, and it was a quick way to fast-track EV adoption, but in hindsight it looks like a really raw deal for the other car manufacturers.
The 30% chargers isn’t a big issue, but no AP is a serious loss of revenue and an uneven playing field to the other car makers.
i wonder if Tesla will continue to be exempted when the tax incentives for CBU EVs end in 2025.
this would help grow their market share given how price sensitive the Malaysian market is.
call it what you want, but at least Tesla is investing in charging infrastructure; something no other manufacturer has done despite the BEV Global Leaders programme being open to all.
so you support this AP system to continue la? bodo
