iCAUR 03 and V23 charging cost in Malaysia
Work out home and public charging costs using the electricity you buy, with estimates kept separate from vehicle measurements.

Your iCAUR charging cost depends on how much electricity you buy and the rate you pay. We've put the calculation in one place so you can work out a home-charging budget or check a public-charging receipt without treating someone else's figure as your own.
Start with the electricity you pay for
For a session billed by energy, multiply the billed kWh by the price per kWh. If a receipt shows 30 kWh at RM1.50/kWh, the energy charge is RM45. Add any separate fees shown for that session.
The car's battery capacity alone won't tell you the bill. You need to know how much energy you added, and electricity bought at the charger isn't necessarily the same amount stored in the battery. If you use the charger's billed kWh, don't add an assumed charging loss again.
Charging at home
TNB's published Peninsular Malaysia tariff schedule covers 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2027. Under Domestic General, for monthly consumption of 1,500 kWh or less, its energy, capacity and network charges are 27.03, 4.55 and 12.85 sen/kWh. Together, those components come to 44.43 sen/kWh.
That isn't a universal final home-charging rate. Fuel adjustments, efficiency incentives, applicable taxes or levies, retail charges and your tariff choice affect the bill. The Peninsular schedule also shouldn't be applied to Sabah or Sarawak. Use your electricity provider's current bill calculator to compare household use with and without the extra charging energy.
Here's a hypothetical budget: suppose the car uses 18 kWh per 100 km, charging efficiency is 90%, and you budget RM0.50 for each kWh bought. You would buy 20 kWh to replace the 18 kWh used, costing RM10 per 100 km, or 10 sen/km. At 1,000 km a month, the same assumptions give RM100 for charging electricity.
Those inputs are chosen to show the arithmetic. We haven't measured that consumption or efficiency on a 03 or V23, and RM0.50/kWh isn't a quoted TNB tariff. Charger installation is a separate cost.
Charging in public
For one published local example, BHPetrol's website lists RM1.50/kWh for TNB Electron at BHPetrol Jalan Genting Klang. We checked the page on 31 October 2026; confirm the rate offered for your session before starting. This isn't a network-wide price.
At that published rate, an illustrative 30 kWh session has a RM45 energy charge. Check whether parking, idle charges, a session fee or a subscription changes what you pay. If a charger bills by time, calculate from its time rate and your session duration instead.
Find your own cost per kilometre
Keep your receipts and record the distance covered over several charging sessions, starting and ending at a similar battery percentage. Divide the total charging spend by the kilometres driven. Record your model and variant too; don't transfer one owner's consumption to another car.
