If you’re planning to drive to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur to shop, dine, watch a movie or charge your electric vehicle, take note that you’ll have to pay more for parking effective January 1, 2024.

Pavilion KL 2024 parking rates
As shown above, the hourly rates for Pavilion KL carpark have increased from RM3 per hour to RM4 per hour for all days including weekdays, weekends and public holidays. On top of that, the maximum charge per day has increased from RM30 per day to RM40 per day.
The per-entry rate after 5pm (until 7am) has also increased from RM8 to RM10. For the weekends, they have removed the per-entry rate. That means you’ll have to pay the normal rate of RM4 per hour (up to maximum of RM40 per day) if you enter the carpark during the evenings of Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
The penalty for a lost ticket has also doubled from RM50 to RM100. If your vehicle gets clamped for illegal parking, the clamp release fee remains unchanged at RM100.
EV Chargers at Pavilion KL
Pavilion KL has a total of 12 EV charging points located at Level B1 near Pillar C21. The biggest EV charging network at the mall is the Tesla Supercharger which has a total of 8 DC fast charging stalls capable of pushing up to 250kW.

Right behind the Tesla Superchargers are Shell Recharge x ParkEasy EV charging stations. Also located at Level B1 near Pillar C11, there are two DC charging bays and two AC charging bays. The 60kW DC charger with two CCS2 nozzles is priced at RM1.50 per kWh. Meanwhile, the 22kW AC charger with two Type-2 nozzles is priced at RM1.00 per kWh.
To activate and pay for Shell Recharge, you’ll need to use the ParkEasy app (Google Play Store, Apple App Store) and reload your account with credits.
