Tesla Supercharger Tejon Ranch: A Model for Malaysia’s EV Infrastructure Development

As Malaysia accelerates its transition towards electric mobility, strategic infrastructure developments become pivotal. One exemplary model is the Tesla Supercharger station at Tejon Ranch, California, which seamlessly integrates high-capacity EV charging with commercial amenities, setting a precedent for future developments worldwide.​

Strategic Location and Accessibility

Situated approximately 97 miles (156 kilometers) north of Los Angeles, the Tejon Ranch Supercharger is strategically located at 5701 Outlets at Tejon Parkway, Arvin, CA 93203, along the critical Interstate 5 corridor.  This positioning serves as a vital charging and rest point for travelers between Southern and Northern California, enhancing the convenience and efficiency of long-distance EV travel.​

High-Capacity Charging Infrastructure

The Tejon Ranch facility boasts 76 V3 Superchargers, each delivering up to 250 kW of power, enabling Tesla vehicles to gain approximately 160 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes.  This high-throughput capability addresses range anxiety and reduces charging wait times, thereby encouraging EV adoption.​

Integration with Commercial Amenities

Adjacent to the Supercharger station is the Outlets at Tejon, a 365,000-square-foot shopping destination featuring over 50 retailers, including renowned brands such as Nike, Coach, and H&M.  The integration of retail and dining options transforms the charging experience into a productive and enjoyable stopover, enhancing customer satisfaction and engagement.​

Collaborative Development and Investment

The development of the Outlets at Tejon is a joint venture between Tejon Ranch Company and The Rockefeller Group, exemplifying successful collaboration between real estate and investment entities.  This partnership underscores the viability and profitability of integrating EV infrastructure with commercial real estate ventures.​

Implications for Malaysia’s EV Infrastructure Development

Malaysia stands at the cusp of an electric mobility revolution, necessitating the development of robust and strategically located EV charging infrastructure. Drawing inspiration from the Tejon Ranch model, EVCC™ (Electric Vehicle Charging Corridor) aims to establish comprehensive charging stations along major highways, such as the North-South Expressway, incorporating commercial amenities to enhance user experience.​
