Tesla has already had a strategic layout in the construction of the charging network. Since Tesla officially delivered the first Model S in China in April 2014, the construction of the charging network has also started almost at the same time. Li Xiang, CEO of the ideal company that just went public in the United States, also attributed Tesla’s success to the overcharge system.
On August 7, Tesla’s first V3 super charging station in Beijing was officially completed and started to be used. This is currently the third V3 super charging station in mainland China. The charging pile of this model can replenish up to 250 kilometers of battery life after 15 minutes of charging, which can reduce the average charging time by 50%.
Tesla said that it has built more than 2500 super charging piles and more than 2,400 destination charging piles in China, and plans to deploy 4,000 charging piles in 2020 to keep up with Tesla’s sales speed.
Looking at the basic network of charging piles, the State Grid plans to add 78,000 charging piles this year. China Southern Power Grid plans to build 150 large-scale centralized charging stations and 380,000 charging piles in the next four years. Under the trend of “new infrastructure”, technology giants such as Alibaba and Huawei are also accelerating their entry into the game. Whether they can beat their opponents in terms of charging convenience is a challenge for Tesla in the second half.
