Now Tesla so cheap at rm200k is a real steal I expect next year the road will be flood with Tesla cars.

My concern before buy is can those stay in condo buy Tesla or better wait have some e charging facility installed by the condo?

Usually newer condos allow to install

only if your condo is like commercial + residential

or already prepare by developer

if u plan to pasang on your own parking lot

got many limitations (like car park layout and space ; nearest plug/power source ) and JMB might not allow you to do that due to safety reason/regulation

anyone's condo management allowed to tarik wiring n let u install meter n charger?

so far none i saw

only new condo that comes default with it

Master Confucion, name checkout!

No.
Better take bus / train / bicycle.

Tarik cable from street light and charge

Buy buy buy
1st buy condo with EV, 2nd buy ur Tesla

As long as jmk can make money out of it I sappork. Pls charge expensive expensive!

Tesla cars cheap cheap ke?

sometime JMB scare ; once they allowed to do for owner A (because owner A car park near to existing plug)

then owner B will try to do but fail then non stop complain

check all those limitation and get JMB approval first ..before commit for EV

depends. My condo no issues. U can install but u pay extra maintenance fee.

buy a small generator to change your Tesla.

But the condos near Sunway Xtreme park la. Can fast charge there and then walk home. Then come back later to collect car. Get free exercise also.

I read the jmb ruling recently

charger must be on ground level, open area, eg usually visitor carpark area

this will be an issue to basement and multistorey carpark for residence

Buy buy buy. Don't wait. Ada Tesla ada amoi.

My 5 years old condo didnt allow us to pasang charger at own parking 🥺 jmb and owner didnt agreed because of messy to implement such as pulling tnb cable etc etc.

But to compromise they install charge sini charger at visitor parking. No cost to jmb.

180k only

Got solar charger already, you can try.

If many people start doing it surely got problem. 1 wall charger 11kW. If condo got 1000 unit and 0.5% (50 people) install then thats 550kW added capacity already, almost 1MW. Electrical system in the whole condo needs to be revised...

Hence I don't recommend people buy EV if their intention is to install wall charger at their condo private parking.

Even new condo (i.e. the Minh) also only have common area EV charging which is like 6 spaces only for the entire condo. And thats is designed and built from the ground up....Old condo retrofit with owner's own wall box surely will have regulation issues or even worse - safety.

kesian stay condo wan act rich

Ya, maintenace will kill you, bawah pokok mechanics don't have skill yet, maybe 5 years's time.

Most of the new condo came witb EV isolator liao, should be OK la

But if your condo don't have EV isolator 1 then don't put shit on your body lor

just buy 1 landed house to charge ur tesla ,opposite then can stay ur own condo

Basically it dont have much consumable spares you know

This is new to me. May I know example of new condo with isol at every car park?

This is very difficult to design for condo as EV charging increases electrical load exponentially. Generally most people will charge their EV at night (especially weekends). So the load will be all at once...if the condo has 1000 car park each with their own isol, then the design should accomodate for 500 people charging at the same time (5.5MW). Thats huge cost to developer...

Stellar Damansara
Bon kiara

I mean I am checking out projects and EV isolator is available

Technicality wise, I am not sure

Ask your condo management first.
If they dont have then buy new condo that has or allow … before buy the car.

If mati di tepi jalan, which mechanic can help or must tow to Tesla workshop?

Dat is true for VW and BMW car too you know

How much is the extra maintenance fee? What reason they give? Thought installation pull cable is 1-off charge

LOl, the extra stress on wiring and switchgear no need to count ah?

Modern cars should be full of diagnostics electronics on board. If got problem it won’t suddenly switch off. Will have lots of warnings coming out way before that

Pay 1-off installation fee. Maintenance fee comes with logic that there’s constant cleaning/maintenance being done to the facility

i thought there's premium condo's that have selling price of 1 million and above

Got, they tarik from own unit DB source then run conduit to that car park unit. Powered a 330e

More electronics is always the issues.

That’s why ayam thinking of moving to landed just so I can buy EV and have peace of mind and overnight charging.

Condos usually come with single phase electrical installation kan? Enough to charge the EV ke? If can only install slow charging, macam futile attempt.

postpone the purchase of a tesla if necessary to buy a landed house instead.

Talk to your jmb on installing charging points, put up in AGM to put it through

3ph 40A

Go out charge la aiyo. 15 mins only mah

How many chargers are available in Malaysia for you to buy Tesla? This is not US, where Tesla chargers are available in abundance.

Even petrol station with EV chargers, I see motorbikes park at EV charger place, some cars park there also & got sellers selling snacks use the EV charge car park as their selling spot really damn annoying when I see. Malaysian and their stupid entitled mentality.

Until the chargers become abundant & Malaysians mentality change on taking care of EV facilities, really not good idea to buy EV car.

Up to 13 A can one

Slower changing nia mah

Yea 200k car i would assume already can afford stay 1M house … if stay 600k condo that without EV charger but buy 200k car something is wrong

Like buy iPhone but house no electricity, use candle at night …

Your definition of cheap, installment of 7 years less than 10% of your net income?

Sunway Xtreme park expensive charging.. rm1.50/kWh

Home charging 20cents-57cents/kWh only..

The price of convenience. Condos there aren't cheap either.

Rm400k ori price now rn200k is cheap

In Msia nobody care if house like shite they only see what Kar u drive

Uncle will charge at office…since uncle kuli always spend 4h in office a day

Your logic is flaw. Even 50 people installed charger, they dont charge EV at the same time and thus wont burden their electrical system.

Using your logic, got 1000 units, each unit install 3 airconds, each 1HP, then 3000 HP= 2237 kW, that is 2.2MW!!! Then you said, dont install aircond, lol.

Isit legal if I open EV charging business with coffee shop like PETRONAS and start making business

Up to JMB or MC to decide.

The power will tap from the common area DB. If the power supply is enough then should be ok. If not, bad luck.

There are opening for business to install them, saw it in facebook.

The max load is already calculated on worst case that everyone pull full amps on the switchgear continuously. This is not Pakistan where there are blackouts and brownouts as a daily occurrence.

Supply wise on one unit say it’s 63A or up to 63x3 if 3phase means TNB already warranted that you can use anywhere between 0-63A per phase safely.

highest amp of motor is Imax when starting from zero
It is unlikely that ALL 1000x ac motors’ random delay timer match at the same second. Like that better buy jackpot

Not worth it to invest in electric car for condo.

Car is an investment?? I tot liability

my company have Ev charger

EV energy also come from TNB coal fired plant 🪴
Doesn’t sound very green per se
It’s just passing the pollution token around to other people lol

Instead using BMW is the greener alternative (bus mrt walk)!

that is exactly my point. Installing tesla charger wont burden the condo electrical system.

Pavilion hilltop can

I also saw some owner installed charger at their parking bay in my condo too. Didnt ask the procedure

Pakai generator je

It is a liability correct...you invest in the charging facilities.

Electric car "systems"

Damn if you buy a charger... Jolly well charge others to use it too!

Already said company install solar panels.

Or are you gonna then say production of solar panels is polluting too and hence passing the token around.

Yes BMW is greener alternative but why are you comparing public and private transport.

Atleast tnb coal power plant is more efficient than single small power plant like car.

1. make law.
2. work around.

The California Air Resources Board recently approved a rule that would require 100 percent of new light- and medium-duty vehicles sold in the state to be zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035; this authority is afforded to the state under the Clean Air Act.

Better apply for your own charger and lock it. Shared means waiting for the next person in the queue. Or some sohai charge then go pangsai and then piap maid, return after 3 hours. If kenot afford the wall installation and elec bills better dun buy, fuel is still cheap.

Condos also need 3-phase wiring in their basement areas so conversion from single to 3 phase also need to consider.
Check out the chargers abt installation online before thinking abt moving to ev.

yes
so if you're lucky u got tiang lampu, can tap from there

like me

Maintain what?

Charge outside je la.. bukan nak me-time ke?

Charge 1/2 hour to enjoy me-time, layan netflix in car, listen music or play game.

Charge pakai powerbank je.

Some newer condo dah say EV friendly as feature. How friendly I tak tau.

just wonder what is the mile/gallon are they getting. i believe it could be worst than vios.

like how much extra? 5% or 10%?

joker like bobby ang propose pasang to as many parking spot as possible but electricity cost everyone bayar. lel.

die die you still need a meter. people that dont use EV need to fork money, apa lanjiao

Only applies to those wannabe rich buy 'big' car but stay in flat

Kinda Kesian buy 200k house but no where to charge. Kek

No, better not

YOLO

Buy now cry later

My JMB want to do it properly with standardized trunking and a few centralized location to install TNB meter else it will be a mess if everyone do their own wiring and meter. There's some regulation on bomba compliance too.

Consultant said we will need to upgrade main switch board. Combined with the cost of installing the trunking and adding the electrical riser room, it's gonna cost a bomb.

JMB decided to on hold until there are more demand due to high cost. They want to wait for official standards from TNB or SIRIM too.

For interim solution, they added a few EV charging bay and enforce charge time limit.
