As electric vehicles (EVs) grow more popular across China’s major cities, Tesla is continuing to surpass charging infrastructure milestones — including a new update that shows just how many chargers it has built in the city of Beijing.
Tesla announced on Tuesday that it reached a milestone of 100 Supercharger stations in Beijing, as CnEVPost reports.
The stations account for a total of 890 individual Superchargers, which the company says will let owners in downtown Beijing find a charging site in under 15 minutes. Additionally, Tesla has 32 destination charging stations in Beijing with 110 charging piles.

The news came at an event held by Tesla in Beijing on Tuesday, held to celebrate the milestone. The event included Tesla Supercharger Network Head Zhang Lina, who also announced Tesla would be opening its network to non-Tesla EVs down the road.
Tesla constructed its first Beijing Supercharger station in June 2016, reaching a milestone of 10 stations by December 2017.
In addition to those in Beijing, Tesla has over 1,200 Supercharger stations across mainland China as of August 30, with almost 9,000 individual Superchargers. This doesn’t include over 700 destination charging stations with over 1,800 charging piles.
Last October, Tesla surpassed 1,000 Supercharger stations across mainland China, meaning it has built more than 200 stations in a span of just 10 months.
