Tesla has Superchargers across the 11 major cities in the Shanxi province in China, according to an announcement from the company and reported by CNEVPost.

In sum, Tesla has 14 different Supercharger stations across the region, making up a total of 79 charging stalls.

Shanxi’s 11 major cities include Changzhi, Datong, Jincheng, Jinzhong, Linfen, Luliang, Taiyuan, Shuozhou, Yangquan, Yuncheng and Xinzhou.

Last week, Tesla said it had added 27 Supercharger stations across China’s mainland in March for a total of 147 charging stations.

Tesla has established over 1,110 Supercharger stations across mainland China, with upwards of 8,500 Superchargers — including 700 destination charging stations with 1,800 individual stalls.

In addition, Tesla also plans to add Supercharger stations in 20 cities throughout April, which it says will include Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Chongqing.

Last year, Tesla announced that it had reached 100-percent Supercharger coverage of all of China’s provincial capitals and municipalities across the Chinese mainland.

Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory also finally restarted production on Tuesday, after three weeks of production halts due to surging COVID-19 cases and the Chinese government’s COVID-zero policy mandating strict lockdowns.

Analysts think that Tesla may have lost the production output of as many as 50,000 vehicles in that time, and the automaker will take about a week to ramp production back up. Elon Musk said Giga Shanghai will be “coming back with a vengeance” during the company’s Q1 earnings call.
