On December 26, Tesla’s 10,000th super charging pile in mainland China was located at the foot of Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower, becoming one of the few Chinese new energy vehicle brands to have a “10,000-level” high-power DC charging network. Helping China's "new infrastructure" reach new heights will also add "power" to the achievement of China's "double carbon" goals.
So far, Tesla has built a complete charging network in mainland China that stretches across north and south, and across the east and west. It has also built "15-minute living circles" in many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen to allow "charging" It not only achieves the same "two-speed" advantages as "refueling", that is, "quick search and fast charging", but also has the "two-province" advantages of "saving worry and saving money", making the pure electric travel experience surpass that of fuel. Replenishing energy has become a preferred way of travel for more and more people.
At the inauguration ceremony of Wan Zhuang, Tesla China Regional General Manager Gong Ling shared: Tesla has always unswervingly regarded "accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy" as the goal of Tesla people, and Tesla has welcomed its 10,000th super charging pile in mainland China, marking that Tesla China has officially entered the era of "10,000-level" super charging network.
This time, Tesla will settle 10,000 pieces in the Oriental Pearl Tower, which is consistent with the spirit of "Tesla speed, Shanghai speed, China speed" that Tesla has always pursued. As one of the landmarks of Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl Tower symbolizes Shanghai. The speed and height of the city, the layout of new tracks, and the creation of a new ecology will not only create the youth and vitality of the international consumer center city, but also lead the fashion and trend of the Shanghai-based market.
Full-scenario energy replenishment network, charging is more convenient than refueling
As one of the earliest companies to promote the construction of China's charging network and have the largest number of its own charging piles, Tesla started with the construction and completion of China's first super charging station in Shanghai in 2014, and completed the first super charging station in mainland China in Beijing in 2016. 100 super charging stations, thus opening the Tesla charging network With the "acceleration" of network construction, Tesla's 9,000th super charging pile was launched in Yiyang, Hunan on September 9, 2022. Only 3 months later, Tesla built the 10,000th super charging pile in mainland China at the foot of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. The charging pile once again refreshes the "Tesla speed" that it maintains.
After nine years of unremitting efforts, Tesla has built and opened more than 1,500 super charging stations and 10,000 super charging piles in mainland China, with more than 700 destination charging stations and more than 1,900 destination charging piles. Coupled with the installation of exclusive private charging piles for hundreds of thousands of Tesla owners, Tesla has Large car owners have created a full-scenario charging solution that focuses on home charging piles and super charging piles, supplemented by destination charging piles, and supplemented by third-party charging piles and universal mobile chargers to meet the growing number of users in various uses. Meet the energy replenishment needs in the car scenario and build a high-quality green travel of "worry-free charging and freedom of movement"
As of now, all in mainland ChinaProvinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government have completed full coverage, and have established extensive and criss-crossing charging networks in more than 320 prefecture-level cities. It has also built a " "15-minute Charging Life Circle" allows Tesla users to find charging piles to refill energy in an average of 15 minutes, just like shopping in a convenience store, which is more convenient than refueling a fuel vehicle.
Public data shows that by the end of 2022, the total number of gas stations nationwide is expected to reach 98,400. Based on an average of 20 gas nozzles per station, the number of gas nozzles nationwide is about 2 million, with an average annual growth rate of 5 %; as of September 2022, the total number of charging piles nationwide has reached 4.488 million units, a year-on-year increase of 101.9%. In the third quarter of 2022, the public vehicle-to-pile ratio has reached 7:1, that is, 7 people share one charging pile. If household charging piles are included, the vehicle-to-pile ratio is as low as 2.56:1; compared with fuel vehicles, the vehicle-to-gun ratio in the same period Up to 125:1, that is, 125 people share one oil gun. It can be seen that compared with gas stations, charging stations are more numerous, easier to find, and easier to charge.
In addition to building a wide charging network to allow users to "find it quickly", Tesla also takes advantage of its high efficiency and systematic R&D advantages to continue to improve in the technology of "charging quickly". It is understood that Tesla’s third-generation super charging pile has a power of 250 kilowatts. For example, charging Model 3 for 5 minutes can increase the range by about 120 kilometers. For some models, charging for 15 minutes can obtain about 250 kilometers of range, which can meet the needs of a week. Daily commuting battery life needs. In cold weather, with Tesla's "battery preheating" function, when car owners use navigation to a super charging station or a third-party DC charging station, Tesla's thermal management system will be activated to heat the battery pack in advance to ensure that when the vehicle arrives at the station Reach the best charging state and save about 25% of time.
Mr. Huang from Beijing met with friends at a Tesla Supercharging Station. He said: "Tesla Supercharging is so fast, there is no need to queue up!" Mr. Huang explained, "Charging now is just a meal. It can be fully charged in just one meal. I often meet up with friends and the battery is fully charged after dinner. If I am in a hurry, it can be fully charged just by having a cup of coffee. Charging is not a problem at all. ”< /p>
Tesla’s charging performance is also very good on long-distance travel. Nowadays, Tesla owners are either walking in the snow to visit the miracles of Changbai Mountain in the east of the motherland, experiencing the exotic customs of Horgos in Xinjiang in the west, going to Mohe in the north to pursue the aurora, or experiencing the southernmost Sanya's sea and sky are the same color, and Tesla's energy-replenishing ecosystem that runs from north to south and across east and west can support every Tesla owner to start as they wish, making the pure electric travel experience far beyond the extremes that traditional fuel vehicles can achieve. Make countless impossible possibilities possible.
In the summer of 2022, Tesla owners are going on long-distance electric rallies one after another.During the competition, the experience of driving a Tesla on an expedition was revealed. Among them, Tesla owner Chunsen, who drove more than 2,500 kilometers from Chengdu to the foot of Mount Everest and traveled all over Xinjiang, proved that in long distances and extreme weather conditions Under the current situation, pure electric vehicles not only have better performance, but also are many positions ahead of fuel vehicles in many dimensions such as environmentally friendly travel and energy replenishment costs. More and more Tesla owners are traveling green across multiple time zones and across the country on their dream journeys.
Save money + worry: Tesla’s refueling cost is only one-tenth of that of a fuel vehicle
With the mission of "accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy", Tesla, guided by its secret ambition, continues to practice innovative design thinking and intelligent manufacturing concepts, constantly optimize vehicle costs, and make millions of dollars worth of vehicles available in the past. In just a few years, luxury pure electric vehicles have transformed into more than 200,000 people-friendly cars, making the energy replenishment cost of pure electric travel a "fraction" of traditional fuel vehicles, only one-tenth of that of fuel vehicles, allowing car owners to greatly Calling the "law of true fragrance" will positively encourage more fuel vehicle owners to choose and embrace sustainable energy, and contribute to the positive cycle of green and low-carbon economy.
Mr. Lin, the owner of Tesla, did some calculations: the previous fuel car consumed about 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, and a monthly commute required about 1,000 kilometers, which cost 1,000 yuan for refueling; but after switching to the Model 3 , recharging energy at a Tesla super charging station only costs about 200 yuan a month. Mr. Lin emphasized, “Tesla has recently implemented time-of-use pricing at super charging stations in more than 40 cities across the country. In many valleys, the price of electricity can be 40% or even half cheaper. Charging for a month only costs more than 100 yuan. It’s a fraction of a fuel vehicle.”
In addition to "saving money", Tesla also uses intelligent breakthroughs to create a "worry-free" experience for users, becoming another "heart-warming" factor for users that surpasses fuel vehicles. In terms of super charging stations, Tesla not only launched functions such as password-free payment of charging bills and one-click unlocking of ground locks on the Tesla APP, allowing car owners to reduce the steps of operations and truly realize "sensorless energy replenishment"; Tesla's large car screen The navigation can also automatically calculate and plan the energy replenishment route based on the energy demand of the vehicle to reach the destination; it is worth mentioning that at the time when Tesla is about to land, Baidu Maps is full of sincerity for Tesla owners, based on charging The real-time dynamic data of piles provides Tesla owners with exclusive advanced solutions such as parking space-level navigation and 360-degree panoramic sites, making each journey less troublesome in route planning and anxiety about distance. In addition, it is also specially provided for 10,000 lucky car owners. Qualified for free super charging.
In addition to upgrading car owners’ “worry-free” car experience with “smartness”, Tesla Supercharging Stations are also “intelligent”. Some Tesla Supercharging Stations also have Wi-Fi coverage, allowing car owners to charge while charging. Time can also "recharge" itself, and it is endless fun to watch TV series and play games. It also has a self-diagnosis program that can predict equipment hardware and software problems in advance through real-time online analysis in the background, and cooperate with maintenance engineers for real-time remote installation.Full monitoring and fault diagnosis ensure that the equipment can serve users safely and stably. Currently, the availability rate of Tesla’s super charging piles remains above 99.96%. The availability rate has been caught up but never surpassed.
In conjunction with the Super Charging Network, Tesla has also been committed to promoting the construction of home charging piles that are efficient, convenient and affordable for energy replenishment. Taking Beijing as an example, the electricity price at home charging piles is about 0.4733 yuan/kWh. Tesla consumes about 13.5 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers and only costs 6.39 yuan. In conversion, charging costs less than 1 cent per kilometer. At the same time, in view of the special situation in China where the installation of home charging piles requires communication with multiple parties such as residential properties and power supply bureaus, Tesla has specially cultivated a group of professional and industry-leading and patient and meticulous "pile installation" teams to provide car owners with property communication from the early stage. From the pre-installation survey, to the targeted installation plan, to the full-process professional service of successful final installation and debugging, the entire installation process ensures that car owners have peace of mind, property owners have peace of mind, and truly achieves a "worry-free" charging experience.
To date, Tesla’s home charging team has assisted nearly 365,000 car owners and approximately 80,000 residential communities, helping customers obtain installation permits from property managers and ultimately completing the installation of home charging piles. Throughout the entire process of pile installation, Tesla provides one-stop standardized services to completely relieve users from worries such as "not understanding the process" and "difficulty communicating with the property management company", ensuring that users have "worry-free" to the end. In addition, Tesla's home charging piles not only ensure the stability of the home charging pile with OTA real-time updates, but also identify potential problems through background remote diagnosis, and cooperate with Tesla's free regular home charging inspection service to further eliminate equipment hazards and Technological innovation forms the cornerstone of customers’ “worry-saving”.
The latest 2021 Consumer Reports survey found that charging convenience has become an important factor that most consumers consider when purchasing electric vehicles. Tesla’s charging convenience has won widespread praise from consumers. In the "U.S. Electric Vehicle Charging Satisfaction Survey Report" recently released by the evaluation agency J.D. Power, Tesla's charging network has become the charging facility with the highest consumer satisfaction.
As the pioneer of smart pure electric vehicle brands, Tesla continues to support the rapid development of "new infrastructure" for charging, and constantly refreshes the electric vehicle experience at "Tesla speed" to a new level that far exceeds that of fuel vehicles. In addition to improving charging efficiency as much as possible, Tesla is also seeking breakthroughs in energy generation methods. Currently, Tesla has launched integrated light-storage-charging charging stations in Lhasa and Shanghai, converting sunlight into electrical energy, storing the energy through Powerwall energy storage equipment, and finally using the stored energy to charge vehicles, thus achieving local configuration optimization of clean energy. , improving energy efficiency. Tesla firmly believes that solar energy, as the cleanest and sustainable natural energy, will fundamentally realize mankind’s dream of sustainable energy utilization once it replaces traditional fossil fuels.
