Tesla's Shanghai Supercharger plant was put into operation on February 3, with the company's third-generation Supercharger (V3) rolling off the production line, less than half a year after the project was launched in August 2020.

With an investment of about 42 million yuan and an area of nearly 5,000 square meters, the factory integrates R&D and production.

It has an initial planned annual capacity of 10,000 Superchargers and is primarily a V3 charging pile, which is Tesla's most advanced charging pile to date and can replenish up to 250 kilometers of range in 15 minutes of charging.

Throughout 2020, Tesla has built more than 410 Superchargers in mainland China, including more than 180 V3 Superchargers.

Previously, Tesla Superchargers were imported from the United States. The production of Superchargers in China could accelerate the popularity of V3 Superchargers in China.

Since entering the Chinese market at the end of 2013, Tesla has initiated the construction of its charging network.

Today, Tesla's open Supercharger stations in China have exceeded 730 stations and the charging network covers more than 300 cities.
