Tesla Malaysia Maintains Current Prices After EV Tax Holiday Ends

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 (Bernama) -- Following the conclusion of the electric vehicle (EV) tax holiday, Tesla Malaysia will continue to offer all its vehicle line-ups at the same starting prices introduced in 2025.

In a statement today, Tesla Malaysia reaffirmed its commitment to Malaysia as an important market in its global mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

The company said it continues to offer the Model 3 sedan at a starting price of RM169,000, while the Model Y remains priced from RM195,450.

Tesla said its offering will be supported by ongoing investments in nationwide charging infrastructure and enhanced customer access.

It said that in support of the Malaysian government’s green initiatives, Tesla is also steadily investing in expanding its charging network and infrastructure across Malaysia.

“We currently operate 18 supercharging stations and 17 destination charging locations, with 76 superchargers and 79 destination chargers, supporting long-distance travel and daily convenience alongside growing home charging options.

“More charging stations are coming soon to further strengthen the seamless and comprehensive Tesla ownership experience,” it added.

Completely Built-Up (CBU) imported EVs are currently exempted from import duty and excise duty until Dec 31, 2025.
