Up until now, Tesla's Supercharger network has covered over 140 cities countrywide, and more than 2,200 Supercharger piles have been put into operation, coupled with over 2,100 destination charging poles, forming an east-west and north-south network with dense charging locations.

The U.S.-based company said it will continue to expand its charging network in China, densifying the existing urban lines and locations simultaneously along with the increase of new charging facilities.

Since 2017, Tesla specifically developed and launched the adaptor available for the charging piles in new GB/T standard to diversify Chinese consumers' charging options when they are using the Supercharger.

Last month, a media outlet reported that Tesla was planning a massive service, sales and charging infrastructure expansion in China as its fleet was expected to grow at an incredible pace thanks to the mass production at Shanghai-based Gigafactory 3.

It was reported a few days later that Tesla would strive to produce 17,400 China-built Model 3 cars before 2019 was over.

In addition, the first V3 Supercharger outside of North America will be in China. According to photos airing on social media platforms, the lucky one is located at Jinqiao town, Shanghai.
