Nio unveiled a new charging pile with up to 500 kW of power that will make charging electric vehicles faster, especially for other brands.

Tesla's 10,000th Supercharger in the Chinese mainland will go live under the Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower on December 26.

Tesla expects to add Supercharger stations in 36 Chinese cities and stores in 15 cities in December.

Nio today put 10 supercharging stations into operation in Jilin, bringing its network of supercharging stations in the northeastern Chinese province to 35.

Tesla plans to add Supercharger stations in November in 26 more cities, including Beijing, Xi'an and Nanjing.

The first Audi charging stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will soon be in operation.

Tesla expects to add Supercharger stations in 30 cities in October, including Xi'an, Shenyang, Zhengzhou and Nanjing.

Tesla built its first Supercharger station in the world in September 2012, and completed its first such facility in the Chinese mainland in 2014.

As of today, all of Guangdong's 1,123 townships have public charging piles.

For PHEVs, which have significantly smaller battery capacities, Chinese Internet users are debating whether owners should occupy highway charging piles during peak travel seasons.
