Tesla cuts Supercharger rates for non-Tesla EVs in Malaysia, with off-peak prices from RM1.26 per kWh
By Eve
Tesla Malaysia has opened four Supercharger locations to non-Tesla vehicles since March 2026, initially at RM1.80 per kWh. Revised rates now undercut Gentari's network, which is typically priced at RM1.60 per kWh or higher during normal hours, and off-peak charging falls as low as RM1.26 per kWh. Pavilion KL and Gamuda Cove still use V3 Superchargers with shorter cables, while IOI City Mall and I-City have V4 units with longer cables.
Why it matters
Tesla is now pricing below Gentari on open access DC charging in Malaysia, which raises the pressure on CPOs competing on tariff. The cable length gap between V3 and V4 sites also shows that hardware details can shape the experience for non-Tesla drivers, not just price.

Tesla Australian sales fall to 4,050 in October, lowest since April
Electric Vehicle Council data shows Tesla sold 4,050 cars in Australia in October, down 28 per cent from 5,654 in September and well below 7,685 in August. The Model Y delivered 3,105 units, compared with 4,476 in September and 6,414 in August. The report attributes the dip to Tesla's quarterly delivery cycle tied to Shanghai shipments, with quiet first months of a quarter (501 in January, 1,225 in April) followed by surges (8,670 in June).
Why it matters
Tesla deliveries in Australia arrive in quarterly waves rather than steadily, so monthly sales figures can mislead when estimating new vehicle arrivals and charger demand. Procurement and CPO teams should read registration trends over a quarter, not month to month, when sizing network rollouts.
Next generation Renault Megane reportedly targets 748 km electric range and offers a range extender option
Turkish press, citing digital renderings published by AutoExpress, reports that Renault is preparing a new Megane with a raised hatchback form and styling inspired by the new Clio. The all electric, four wheel drive version is said to offer about 748 km of range, while a range extender (REx) variant, in which a combustion engine acts as a generator, is said to reach 1,400 km in total. The platform is also reported to use cell to body battery integration, with the pack built into the vehicle floor structure, and the model is positioned against the Tesla Model Y.
Why it matters
A mid size Renault offering both a long range BEV and a range extender could widen the mix of vehicles using public and depot charging, and range extender drivers may charge less often at public points. The figures come from renderings and reports rather than confirmed specifications, so treat them as indicative until Renault confirms them.
Tesla urges Australia to apply a road user charge to all vehicles alongside fuel excise
In its submission to the federal Select Committee on Productivity in Australia, Tesla recommended a distance-based road user charge, set in cents per kilometre, for all vehicles, to sit alongside the current fuel excise. The excise adds around 51 cents to each litre of petrol and diesel sold, and Tesla argues it is not seen as a usage fee and does not discourage unnecessary driving. Tesla acknowledged there would be "justifiable" community pushback, while experts have separately floated a charge of three cents per kilometre as fairer funding as electric and hybrid vehicles use less or no fuel.
Why it matters
A per-kilometre charge applied to every vehicle would change the running cost case for EV drivers, which could influence charging demand and utilisation assumptions in site business cases. CPOs and bidders should track the committee process, as the final design and timing could affect pricing strategy and long-term revenue forecasts.
