KUALA LUMPUR — Tesla has finally allowed non-Tesla EVs to charge at selected Tesla Superchargers in Malaysia. While this is something that the company has been doing in selected markets, starting with the Netherlands in 2021, the company has been specifically asked to do this by the Malaysian government as part of the Battery Electric Vehicle Global Leaders program, which allows Tesla to bring its vehicle to Malaysia without going through the usual Franchise AP route.

At the moment, only 4 Tesla Supercharger locations in Malaysia that can support non-Tesla EVs. All of them are located at Klang Valley, though:

Pavilion KL

IOI City Mall Putrajaya

i-City Shah Alam

Gamuda Cove Dengkil

For now, we have no knowledge whether Tesla is going to expand this list further or otherwise.

In general, you can charge your EV at these selected Tesla Superchargers as long as it has a CCS2 charging port.

That being said, it has been confirmed that Tesla Supercharger does not support the 2022/2023 pre-facelift BYD Atto 3, based on the testing done by owner Azlan Mahmud at Gamuda Cove. 

The incompatibility is in line with the report from Australia last year.In case you are wondering if your Atto 3 is affected, you can identify the version that you have by the tyres that your Atto 3 came with. If it came with Atlas A51 Batman tyres, instead of the Continental EcoContact 6Q which was only supplied to the EV starting from September 2024 onwards, then your Atto 3 can’t be charged at a Tesla Supercharger.

Over in Australia, BYD has begun rolling out a fix for this issue. However, users have to fork out around AUD300 (~RM833) to AUD400 (~RM1,111) in order to implement the fix on their Atto 3, and it is not known for now whether BYD Malaysia or BYD Sime Motors will offer it in our market.
