EVC Installs Malaysia’s First Tesla Supercharger

KUALA LUMPUR – 24 Aug 2023 – EV Connection Sdn Bhd (EVC), the leading EV Charging infrastructure provider in Malaysia has today successfully installed the first Tesla Supercharger facility in Malaysia at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. The all local technical team completed the installation within a short span of two weeks.

Installed at the location just before the American electric vehicle brand made its official entry into the Malaysian market, this indoor Tesla Supercharger station consists of eight Supercharger units, which are capable of offering a charging output of 250 kW at its maximum. The rate at this location is listed as RM1.25 per kWh along with an idle fee rate of RM4 per minute, essentially to deter charging bay hogging.

The idle fee is waived if the parked EV is moved within five minutes of the end of charging session, however the idle fee is doubled when the Supercharger station is at 100% capacity. For the time being, the Supercharger site is for Tesla vehicles only, though selected sites in the future will allow charging of cars of other makes in line with the requirements of the MITI BEV Global Leaders Programme.
