Tesla releases new national standard charging adapter, you can charge your car anywhere

Recently at the Guangzhou Auto Show, Tesla released a new national standard charging adapter, allowing Tesla models to be charged not only using Tesla's own charging network, but also using charging facilities that meet China's new national standards.

Prior to this, Tesla owners had to use Tesla's dedicated charging network. In addition to the home charging equipment and UMC emergency charging equipment provided with the car, Tesla's super charging piles laid across the country can charge the vehicle to 80% in 1 hour. At the same time, Tesla has also laid destination charging piles in business districts, hotels, etc.

The release of the new national standard adapter allows consumers to use charging devices that meet the new national standard while using Tesla's dedicated charging network. The new national standard adapter has relieved the charging pressure of Tesla's own network and enriched Tesla's charging outlets, allowing car owners to charge more freely.

However, the use of this new national standard adapter still faces some problems. At present, it is completely free for Tesla to use supercharging or destination charging piles. Many places do not even charge parking fees. For Tesla owners, they have developed the concept of "charging when going out is free". However, charging in non-Tesla charging networks not only requires electricity fees (you also need to apply for an electricity card), but most parking lots also charge fees. In addition, most charging networks in downtown areas require queuing for charging, and the time efficiency is relatively low. What's more, when charging in a "compatible network", Tesla's charging speed will not be too fast. Therefore, this adapter is only for emergency use for Tesla owners, and its real practical value may not be as high as its own network.
