"Silk Road with a total length of 5000 km to be driven by electric cars... Tesla installs 27 'Supercharger' stations"

Tesla Electric Vehicle Exclusive Fast Charging Station 'Supercharger'
Connecting from Zhejiang Province in Eastern China to Xinjiang Uygur in the West End

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] American electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has completed the installation of Tesla-exclusive fast chargers along the Silk Road crossing the Chinese mainland. Since the number of fast chargers has been insufficient compared to Tesla electric vehicle sales, this completion of Superchargers is seen as a move to further target China, the largest electric vehicle market.

According to Bloomberg on the 22nd (local time), Tesla China announced on Twitter the day before that it had completed 27 Tesla-exclusive fast chargers, called Superchargers, along a 5,000 km stretch of the Silk Road.

These chargers were installed along the Silk Road route from Zhoushan City in Zhejiang Province at the eastern end of China to Horgos City in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region at the western end.

Superchargers are located every 100 to 300 km along the Silk Road, allowing a maximum output charge that can cover up to 250 km in just 15 minutes per charge.

Since the installation of Superchargers directly affects Tesla's sales performance, Tesla plans to use this as a foundation to strengthen its market presence in China.

Tesla has already installed more than 65,000 Superchargers in over 310 cities across China.

Meanwhile, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Tesla's shipments in China for May reached 33,463 units, up from 25,845 units in the previous month.
