On March 19th, Tesla China announced that it will once again expand its opening scope and optimize the charging experience, opening more than 450 super charging stations and more than 350 destination charging stations to multi brand electric vehicles. Through Tesla's WeChat mini program, it will achieve a one-stop charging experience of finding stations, navigation, unlocking, charging, and payment.
After Tesla further expanded its charging network for multi brand electric vehicles in mainland China in November 2023, its open supercharging stations and destination charging stations have now covered more than 200 cities and regions.
According to Tesla, Tesla focuses on optimizing user experience and has launched the Tesla WeChat mini program charging function. In addition to using the Tesla App, most new energy vehicles can also use the Tesla mini program to complete a one-stop energy supplement experience of finding stations, navigation, unlocking, charging, and payment.
Over 1900 super charging stations have been deployed in China
It is reported that Tesla is committed to creating a full scenario charging solution that complements home charging, supercharging, and destination charging, and is compatible with third-party charging and emergency charging for mobile portable chargers, to meet the growing demand for charging. Tesla has built over 55000 supercharging stations worldwide and operates one of the largest global fast charging networks in the world.
As of March 2024, Tesla has established over 1900 supercharging stations and over 700 destination charging stations in mainland China, covering 100% of all provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government. Tesla has also set up multiple highway service area super charging stations in Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hebei, and Ningxia, and has set up urban charging stations near the entrances and exits of multiple highways to solve the problem of supplementing energy for holiday travel.
With the opening of over 450 Tesla super charging stations and over 350 destination charging stations, a more convenient, efficient, and reliable charging experience will continue to influence the industry, driving the continuous iteration of charging facility technology and the continuous enrichment of infrastructure construction scenarios in China, accelerating the arrival of the "era of electric travel". In addition, Tesla's home charging products support vehicle charging for all electric vehicles.
Today, the open Tesla public charging network covers more than 200 cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, and other major national roads, such as G318, G214, which can support commuting and energy supplement in the main city of pure trams. Even if you drive along the Silk Road, the Taihu Lake Lake Ring Road, North Xinjiang Ring Road, Northwest Ring Road, Binhai, Guangdong, Hainan Ring Road and other popular routes, you can also make energy supplement.
In Tesla's open charging network, supercharging can support a maximum charging power of 120kW, and home and destination charging can support a maximum charging power of 21kW. This means taking a night off and starting at full capacity the next morning to meet the weekly commuting needs.
Adhere to an open strategy and accelerate the popularization of green transportation
"In recent years, China has continuously improved its level of opening-up to the outside world, and Tesla is both a witness and a beneficiary." Tesla's Global Vice President, Tao Lin, said that China's sustained opening-up policy, advanced development concepts, and good business environment have created huge opportunities for enterprises, and the Chinese market is a "necessary option" for Tesla's development.
Therefore, Tesla always adheres to an open and inclusive attitude, and uses practical actions to help accelerate industrial development. Since 2014, Tesla has opened over 300 patents, promoting the growth of China's local new energy industry, intelligent transportation, artificial intelligence, and digital economy.
From the original design and engineering files of the first generation Roadster being fully open-source, to dozens of car companies joining Tesla's NACS charging standard, to Tesla China's opening of interconnectivity cooperation with SAIC GM, and further expanding the opening of charging networks, all of these measures have repeatedly proven that Tesla hopes more companies can participate in the trend of electric vehicle development by providing consumers with better products and pure electric travel experiences, Continuously promoting the overall upgrading of enterprises, infrastructure, and industries, accelerating the process of comprehensive electrification on a global scale.
Tesla founder Musk has also stated that by sharing technology and knowledge, car manufacturers can learn from each other, and progress together to promote the development of electric vehicle technology.
From the landing of an integrated charging station for light storage and charging, the launch of Cybercharging, which can charge at home and travel, to the launch of the Shanghai Energy Storage Super Factory, and the opening of Tesla's charging network to multi brand vehicles, this represents that Tesla not only focuses on the research and development and production of its own products, but also accelerates the world's transition to sustainable energy from infrastructure, production, and services.
