Earlier today, the EV giant Tesla‘s Chinese charging team announced that they have achieved the milestone of installing 1000 Supercharger stations in the Chinese mainland with 8000 Superchargers across China. The announcement was shared on Weibo (a Chinese micro-blogging site).
The country that has the highest demand for electric vehicles worldwide is a leading market for Tesla. This move solidifies Tesla’s position in the Chinese electric vehicle market. Tesla has added 49 new Supercharger stations in China during the month of October, including 329 supercharging piles across 31 cities.
The company said that it has more than 700 destination charging stations in the Chinese mainland, with more than 1,750 destination charging piles. Currently, its charging network covers 380 cities across China.
Tesla executives informed that “in the past year Tesla’s charging network has doubled and is expected to triple in the next two years .” This step will make electric vehicles more popular among the Chinese population. The new Superchargers will solve the problem of overcrowding and range while positively affecting the environment.
Tesla now has more than 30,000 Superchargers open worldwide, with about a quarter of them in China.
