Tesla Malaysia has launched a new Supercharging station located in Pavilion Damansara Heights as it continues to expand its charging infrastructure in the country. The new station is home to four V4 Superchargers, which complement the existing six Destination Chargers already at the location.
With this, Tesla Malaysia now operates a total 16 Supercharging stations (72 Superchargers) and 16 Destination Charging stations (73 Destination Chargers) nationwide. Destination Chargers are AC chargers that differ from Superchargers which provide much faster DC charging.
In its official release, the company also notes that over 9,000 households have participated in the Tesla Home Charging programme and are equipped with a Wall Connector that can deliver up to 21 kW of AC power.
Tesla Malaysia says it remains committed to expanding public charging network moving forward, with plans to install charging stations in locations such as Nexus Bangsar South in Kuala Lumpur, Queensbay Mall in Penang as well as The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey in Johor.
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. However this has yet to happen and isn’t mentioned in the latest release.
