Southeast Asia now has a continuous Supercharger corridor from Singapore to Bangkok. According to TeslaNorth, Singapore-based EV reviewer Daren Yoong mapped the route in the Tesla app.
The route
Distance: about 1,800 km.
Longest gap: 222 km by road, between the Chumphon and Surat Thani Superchargers in Thailand.
Cross-border charging: Singapore-registered Teslas can charge in Malaysia and Thailand.
The last missing link
CarSifu reported in August that Tesla Malaysia opened its 21st Supercharger station, at AEON Mall Kinta City in Ipoh. It was the country's first with Starlink connectivity, and Tesla described it as the last piece for travel from Singapore through Malaysia to Thailand.
Before you go
Check the route and live stall status in the Tesla app. Allow extra time and charge for the 222 km stretch in southern Thailand.
