Tesla Malaysia has announced that its Supercharger station at Sunway Pyramid is now officially operational. The new supercharger station is the first of such to open in the state of Selangor, and the third to be added to the company’s Supercharging network in Malaysia.
The new Tesla Supercharger station in Sunway Pyramid offers four V3 superchargers, capable of delivering up to 250 kW of power. For the recently-unveiled Tesla Model 3, that means up to 282 km of range in just 15 minutes of charging, according to the company’s press release.
Pricing wise, the new Supercharging station will cost RM1.25 per kW, standardised across all Superchargers in Malaysia barring any special promotions. An idle charge of up to RM4 per minute will be levied if you continue to occupy the bay when your car is finished charging, although the fee is waived if you remove your car within the first five minutes.
Idle fees will only apply when the station is more than 50% occupied, and doubled (RM4) if the station is at 100% capacity. Additionally, the Sunway Pyramid Tesla Supercharger will also incur a RM5 per hour parking charge, a fee unique to the location.

The new Tesla Supercharger is located at the valet parking areas in front of the main entrance, and is open 24 hours. Similar to the two other currently-operational locations in Pavilion KL and Sunway Big Box Johor, the new Sunway Pyramid station will only support Tesla vehicles; the charging fees will be paid through the customers’ account on the Tesla mobile app.
Tesla Malaysia says that it is committed to expanding its Supercharging network, with 16 locations already planned nationwide. As part of its agreement with the Malaysia government, Tesla is required to install at least 50 individual DC chargers in the country, with 30% of them open to other makes.
