Tesla Malaysia: Supercharger Locations in 2026
If you’ve been following Malaysia’s electric car scene, you’ve probably noticed how fast things are moving. The Tesla Model Y has become one of the most familiar EVs on the road. Two years after Tesla made its official entry, the brand feels like part of the local landscape. You see Model Ys at malls, highways and charging stations that didn’t even exist not long ago.
Tesla’s Arrival and Expansion
Tesla officially launched in Malaysia on July 20, 2023, with the Model Y as its first offering. Deliveries started the following year, and the brand has been expanding ever since.
By January 2026, Tesla Malaysia has 18 Supercharger locations with 76 Superchargers and 17 Destination Charging sites with 79 Destination chargers spread across the country. The network now supports over 13,000 Tesla owners in Malaysia, with more charging sites planned throughout 2026 including locations in Ipoh, Johor Bahru and East Malaysia.
For the first time, range anxiety feels less like a concern and more like a thing of the past.
Model Y Variants and Prices in 2026
Tesla keeps its lineup simple with the refreshed Model Y, codenamed “Juniper”. The updated model features a striking new design inspired by the Cybertruck, with a full-width lightbar at the front and redesigned rear. All variants are imported from Giga Shanghai and priced competitively within Malaysia’s premium SUV category.
Despite the end of Malaysia’s EV tax holiday on December 31, 2025, Tesla has confirmed that prices will remain unchanged for 2026.
| Variant | Drive | Range (WLTP) | 0–100 km/h | Price (MYR, incl. SST) |
| Model Y RWD | Rear-Wheel Drive | 466 km | 5.9 s | RM 195,450 |
| Model Y Long Range AWD | All-Wheel Drive | 551 km | 4.3 s | RM 242,450 |
| Model Y Performance AWD | All-Wheel Drive | 580 km | 3.5 s | RM 288,000 (est.) |
The Long Range version remains the favourite among Malaysian buyers. It offers strong value, solid range and plenty of power without reaching the higher price of the Performance trim. The Performance variant, featuring 460 hp and a top speed of 250 km/h, is expected to arrive in Malaysia following its global debut.
What’s New for 2026
The 2025 Model Y “Juniper” facelift brought the most significant update since the car’s original launch. Malaysian deliveries began in April 2025, and the improvements have been well received.
The exterior features a bold cyber design with a full-width lightbar at the front and redesigned rear, inspired by Tesla’s Cybertruck. New wheels and a rear diffuser reduce the drag coefficient to just 0.22Cd, improving efficiency and stability at highway speeds.
Inside, double-layer glass for all windows and a silver-coated panoramic roof reduce noise and heat significantly. New features include ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, an 8-inch rear passenger display and powered second-row seats that fold at the press of a button.
Over-the-air updates remain a big reason people love Teslas. New improvements arrive automatically over Wi-Fi, so the car continues to evolve long after purchase.
Tesla Supercharger Network Across Malaysia (2026)
When Tesla entered Malaysia, the government required it to build at least 50 Superchargers within three years under the BEV Global Leaders initiative. Tesla has now exceeded this target, with 76 Superchargers deployed across 18 locations nationwide.
As of January 2026, all Supercharger sites offer up to 250 kW of DC fast charging via V3 and V4 Superchargers. Under optimal conditions, a Model Y can gain about 275 to 280 km of range in only 15 minutes.

More Superchargers are planned for 2026, with upcoming sites expected in Ipoh, additional Johor Bahru locations and Mid Valley Southkey. Tesla has also expanded its presence to East Malaysia, with a pop-up store opening at Vivacity Megamall in Kuching, Sarawak in January 2026.
Destination and Home Charging
Besides the Superchargers, Tesla operates 17 Destination Charging sites with 79 Destination chargers around Malaysia. These are mostly located at hotels, shopping centres and commercial buildings, offering slower AC charging ideal for longer stays.
Current Destination Charging locations include All Seasons Place Penang, EQ Kuala Lumpur, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Putra, Sunway Velocity, Bangsar Shopping Centre, The Ship Campus Batu Kawan, Gamuda Cove and IOI Mall Puchong.
At home, most owners install a Tesla Wall Connector, which can fully charge a Model Y overnight. Under Tesla’s Home Charging Program, installation starts from RM1,900 and comes with a one-year warranty. Over 8,000 Tesla owners in Malaysia currently have a home charger installed. The included Mobile Connector can also be plugged into a regular socket, but it charges more slowly and works best as a backup option.
Cost of Charging in 2026
Tesla Supercharger pricing in Malaysia varies by location, typically ranging from RM 0.63 to RM 1.29 per kWh. This makes Tesla Superchargers among the most affordable DC fast chargers in the country compared to other charge point operators charging RM 1.50 to RM 1.80 per kWh.
A typical charge from 20 to 80 percent on a Model Y Long Range (approximately 75 kWh usable battery) costs around RM 40 to RM 60 and takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes.
Tesla has also introduced an Active Supercharger Congestion fee at busy locations. If you continue charging above 80% during peak times, an additional RM 2 per minute is charged. This encourages turnover and ensures charger availability for other owners.
Idle fees apply once charging is complete: RM 2 per minute if the station is at 50% capacity, or RM 4 per minute if fully occupied. The fee is waived if you move your car within 5 minutes of charging completion.
Destination Chargers remain free for Tesla owners until further notice.
Everyday Ownership
Owning a Tesla in Malaysia has become much easier since the brand first arrived. The Cyberjaya Service Centre handles maintenance and warranty claims, while Tesla’s Mobile Service team can perform small repairs and updates right at your doorstep.
Battery performance has been reliable so far. Tesla covers 8 years or 160,000 km for the RWD and 8 years or 192,000 km for AWD variants. Most local owners have reported only minor degradation even after years of daily driving.
Insurance costs are also starting to drop as insurers recognize Tesla’s advanced safety systems like Autopilot and collision avoidance.
Policies, Incentives and Competition
The Malaysian government’s EV tax holiday, which provided road tax exemptions and import duty reductions, ended on December 31, 2025. However, Tesla has announced that it will maintain 2025 pricing into 2026, absorbing any additional costs to keep the Model Y competitive.
As part of its agreement under the BEV Global Leaders initiative, Tesla was required to deploy at least 50 Superchargers by March 2026 and ensure 30% of these chargers are accessible to non-Tesla EVs. Tesla has exceeded the Supercharger deployment target with 76 units but has yet to open the network to other brands.
The Model Y competes closely with models such as the BMW iX1, Volvo EX30, BYD Seal U and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in both price and performance.
Tesla’s software ecosystem remains a strong advantage. The app allows you to plan routes, monitor your energy use, pre-cool the cabin before getting in and find nearby chargers in real time. It’s the kind of convenience that makes EV ownership genuinely enjoyable.
Why the Model Y Still Leads in 2026
Even with more EVs entering the market, the Tesla Model Y continues to dominate the premium electric SUV space in Malaysia.
- Up to 551 km of range (Long Range AWD) with improved real-world efficiency
- 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds (Long Range AWD) or 3.5 seconds (Performance)
- 18 Supercharger locations with 76 Superchargers and 17 Destination Charging sites already operating
- Regular over-the-air updates and strong safety ratings
- Refreshed Juniper design with full-width lightbar and rear passenger screen
- Quieter cabin with double-layer glass and ventilated seats
It’s powerful, quiet and emission-free, and it now fits easily into everyday Malaysian life.
Final Thoughts
Looking back, it’s impressive how far Malaysia’s EV market has come since 2023. At first, owning a Tesla here felt like something only early adopters would try. Now, with 18 Supercharger locations, over 13,000 owners on the road and better infrastructure than ever, it’s becoming a realistic choice for anyone thinking of switching to electric.
The Tesla Model Y is proof that going electric doesn’t have to mean compromise. It’s comfortable, quick, efficient and ready for the open road. In 2026, it’s not just an alternative — it’s the benchmark.
