Tesla Superchargers can now be used to charge non-Tesla EVs in Malaysia. This open access is limited to four locations at the moment, all in the Klang Valley.
The following is the list of locations:
- Shah Alam – i-City Finance Avenue
- Kuala Lumpur – Pavilion KL
- Putrajaya – IOI City Mall
- Dengkil – Gamuda Cove
According to the pricing currently on the app, non-Tesla EV owners will have to pay RM1.80 per kWh to charge their car. There is also a congestion fee of up to RM 2.00/min if the site is busy.
The Tesla Supercharger is typically rated at 250 kW and use the CCS2 connector. To access the Superchargers, non-Tesla EV users will have to download the Tesla app (iOS, Android) and sign up for a Tesla account.
How to charge with the Tesla app

- Select ‘Charge Your EV’ and find your Supercharger site.
- Add your payment method.

If you also currently own a Tesla vehicle and you want to charge your other non-Tesla EV, open the Tesla app and tap the menu in the top-right to find the ‘Charge Your Other EV’ option.

One of the requirements for Tesla’s AP exemption when its approval was secured under the BEV Global Leaders program was that it has to install at least 50 units of DC fast chargers with a minimum charging power of 180 kW, with at least 30% of these being open to the public and for use by EVs from other brands.
