KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 — Tesla Malaysia has officially launched its first V4 Supercharging stations in South-east Asia which are located at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya and IOI Mall Puchong. A total of eight V4 Superchargers and 2 Destination chargers have been deployed at the locations.

Tesla V4 Supercharger Malaysia pricing

Similar to other Tesla Supercharger sites, the Superchargers (DC chargers) at IOI City Mall and IOI Mall Puchong are priced at RM1.25 per kWh. An idle fee of up to RM4.00 will be imposed if the charging station is 100 per cent occupied and the vehicle is not moved after charging is completed. Meanwhile, the Destination chargers (AC Charge points) are still free until further notice.

The V4 Tesla Supercharger are capable of delivering peak DC charging rates of up to 250kW. According to Tesla, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range can recharge with up to 282km of range in 15 minutes with these chargers.

Unlike the current V3 Superchargers which have been deployed in other locations, the new V4 version comes with a longer cable, making it easier to charge other EVs when the charging network is open to other EV brands. At the moment, Tesla chargers are exclusive to Tesla vehicles only.

One major advantage of the Tesla Supercharger network is the ease of charging. Tesla drivers can simply “Plug and Charge” without the need to use an app or payment cards. The EV charging sessions will be charged directly to your saved payment card in your Tesla account.

Tesla Malaysia has now 48 Supercharger stalls

At the moment, Tesla has opened 10 Supercharging stations in Malaysia (48 Supercharger stalls) and 11 Destination Charger stations (57 chargers). Under its Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Global Programme with Miti, Tesla is required to deploy 50 Superchargers by 2026 and 15 per cent of them must be open to all EVs. — SoyaCincau

  • The best clean energy plays as Biden's China tariffs set in

    President Joe Biden raised tariffs on Chinese imports into the US, a move that will raise steep duties on solar panels, in a bid to keep China from undercutting US industry. How can investors look to capitalize on the administration's latest trade policy? Cohen & Steers Portfolio Manager for Global Listed Infrastructure Tyler Rosenlich and Mizuho Americas Director of Clean Energy Equity Research Maheep Mandloi join Market Domination to discuss the best ways to play the clean energy sector as tariffs against Chinese imports begin to set in. Mandoli mentions First Solar (FLSR) as a company that has done well despite challenges: "You can probably separate the companies who already had manufacturing capacity here, who did not have any China content. So First Solar is a good example. They have done phenomenally well in the last two years. The rest of the space has somewhat, got delayed, I guess, in the sense that all the IRA benefits haven't yet trickled down into actual legalese from the Treasury." Rosenlich points out it may take some time to see solar take off: "I think the reality is a lot of people have talked about this energy transition and they've said, 'hey, we're going to get rid of old forms of energy and replace it with new.' And we think we're in this energy addition world and we're going to need to rely on traditional forms of energy for a really long time. They provide great base load power. We have the infrastructure in place and it's going to be a huge growth opportunity to build solar, build alternatives, build wind, build nuclear. But it's going to take a really long time."
