Tesla Malaysia has increased the EV charging fee for Tesla Superchargers throughout the country. The move came just 4 months after the company reduced the fee back in early December.
The EV charging fee for Tesla Supercharger has now been set to RM1.19 per kWh, which is 6 sen more than the previous rate. That being said, it is still much lower than the original rate of RM1.25 per kWh that Tesla applied when it activated the first Supercharger in Malaysia back in August 2023.
Despite the price hike, Tesla Supercharger is still the cheapest high-power DC charging network in Malaysia. Aside from Tesla, Gentari has also recently increased EV charging fees for its DC chargers, which now range from RM1.60 to RM1.80 per kWh, depending on their locations.
Tesla Supercharger Malaysia: old fee vs new fee
The official battery capacities of Tesla EVs were never revealed to the public. However, various sources have estimated that the company is using a 57.5kWh battery pack for rear-wheel drive models.
As for the all-wheel drive models, the estimated battery capacity is 82kWh. This is except for the Performance models from Gigafactory Shanghai which has been fitted with a smaller 79kWh battery.
Based on those figures, here’s how much it costs to charge a Tesla Model 3 and Model Y from 10% to 80% with Superchargers in Malaysia according to the old and new rate:
Tesla Supercharger Malaysia at RM1.13/kWh
- Tesla Model 3/Model Y RWD: RM45.48
- Tesla Model 3/Model Y AWD: RM64.86
- Tesla Model 3/Model Y Performance: RM62.49
Tesla Supercharger Malaysia at RM1.19/kWh
- Tesla Model 3/Model Y RWD: RM47.90
- Tesla Model 3/Model Y AWD: RM68.31
- Tesla Model 3/Model Y Performance: RM65.81
With that, you are looking at a difference of between RM2.42 to RM3.45 per charging session. As for the idle fees, it still remains at up to RM4 per minute and Tesla owners are still able to utilise all Tesla Destination Chargers in Malaysia for free.
