Tesla first Supercharger finally in Malaysia

 

    Tesla have been inside of the Malaysian's vehicle marketing for a while now, so its not weird for them to install their charging facilities here in Malaysia. The first Tesla superchargers have been installed in Pavillion Bukit Bintang on 19th July of 2023 and its launched by the Ministry Of Investment, Trade and Industries Tengku Zafrul. 

The minister said nine charging station locations had been identified, including in Bukit Jalil, Petaling Jaya and Dengkil, while outside of Klang Valley would be at Ipoh, Perak; Perai, Pulau Pinang; Seremban, Negeri Sembilan; and Iskandar Puteri, Johor, while the other two would be announced soon.

for Malaysia Supercharges, Tesla have used the latest supercharges that called Supercharges V3.  However, the charging time for the the car to fully charged may vary from each model. Not only that,  the SOC of the battery also taken into measure. 

As a general estimation, a Tesla vehicle that used Superchargers V3 technologies can gain significance amount of charge in a short times. on averages its only takes about 15-30 minutes to charge from lower states of high charges rate. 

The Tesla charging duration however, is not linear, and the charging speeds tend to be faster if the battery is at lower state of charge and gradually slower as it want to approach its full capacity, from the feedback of the users, the charging speeds start to slow down once it hits 80%
