Shortly after the opening of the Tesla Supercharger station in Iskandar Puteri, Johor comes the EV maker’s addition of a Supercharger location in Sunway Pyramid, with the four outlets situated after the main entrance of the shopping centre.
Still cordoned off at the time of photography, the Supercharger station at Sunway Pyramid will be opening soon, according to signage at the latest charging location, though as with other Tesla Supercharger locations at present, all four bays at this Sunway Pyramid location will be available exclusively to users of Tesla EVs, as indicated by the ‘Tesla Charging Only’ markings on these four bays.
Pricing for what appears to be Supercharger V3 units at the Sunway Pyramid location has yet to be announced, though current pricing for Supercharger use at the Iskandar Puteri location is RM1.25 per kWh, which is the same as the rate at Pavilion KL. The Iskandar Puteri and Pavilion KL locations also incur a RM4 per minute idle fee.
Yesterday, we’ve also found what appears to be a row of Tesla Destination Chargers at the mall’s B1-level carpark that will complement the Tesla Experience Centre that will soon open at the just-opened Pavilion Damansara Heights shopping mall.
The V3 iteration of the Tesla Supercharger provides up to 250 kW of charging output, which enabling an EV such as the Tesla Model Y Performance to regain up to 270 km of battery range in 15 minutes.
Last week, Tesla Malaysia officially launched its headquarters in Cyberjaya, where it has eight Supercharger stations and 12 Wall Connector chargers, though these are limited to internal use for now.

Installing supercharger at a huge shopping mall? The owner will still be shopping and having lunch after the battery is long fully charged.
One unit charge 30mins
One hour serves 4 Tesla
One day serves 48 Tesla

Yeah, it’s kind of strange to have SC at malls. I guess for owners who do not have home charging this could be a boon. Many in HK only use SC, for example.
Not a worry though, at RM4/min idle time (if 100% occupied) or RM2 (50% occupied) which in this case with four stalls sure kena, the owner will have to rush back to move their car.
Do not underestimate what a plus Tesla SC network is for EV ownership.
You’d see many videos of people saying how much more work it is to plan a roadtrip driving an EV from say Penang to Johor. Not so much in a Tesla, enter your destination in the GPS, if you have insufficient charge to reach it, it will route you through a SC stop.
the question everyone asking is why tesla supercharger are installed only in cities? not on highway?
I can already foresee the likes of Saga and Bezza in these charging lots because… “sekejap je rilek la”
Not so much on saga or bezza. More likely with ICE BMW and volvo especially the doctors and lawyers.
