The supercharging network in Chinese mainland adopts the principle of laying out urban stations and long-distance stations at the same time. The stations are located in popular shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, science and technology zones, parks, popular scenic spots, rest areas and highway entrances and exits, close to convenience facilities.

Outside China, Tesla has started to build a new supercharger station in the Mojave Desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in US, and it plans to deploy 100 charging piles, which will become the largest supercharger station in the world. The mayor of Barstow, California, Paul Courtney, confirmed the news this week.
