World’s largest Tesla supercharger station with 72 stalls opens in world’s largest automarket, China.

Tesla, whose current lineups includes Model S, 3, X and Y, plans to make the China its key market.

US-based Electric Vehicle (EV) maker Tesla has launched the world’s largest supercharger station in Shanghai China with facilities that can charge 72 cars.

The new 72-stall facility located in a key central business and commercial district of Shanghai bests the 56 stall station that Tesla opened in November in Fresno county, California.

Unlike the outdoor stall station in California, United States, the Shanghai Superchargers also appears to have covers that shields cars from rain and sun.

According to reports, the new stalls features a V2 Superchargers that produce up to 150 kW; while the 56 California stalls use 250 kW V3 chargers.
