Tesla's next generation Super charged pile.

Tesla founder Musk said there was an update on the network of Tesla supercharging stations. He said thousands of supercharging stations were already in the process of construction and project approval and would soon be updated. Earlier media reported that the Tesla Supercharging station network has progressed rapidly, and 121 Super charging stations have been built in the first four months of 2018.

According to the Super website, which tracks the dynamics of supercharging stations, nearly 100 new plants are under construction or have been approved.

Mr. Musk said Tesla had begun to speed up the construction of the supercharging station, which was already moving fast. Tesla is now building "thousands" of supercharging stations.

Musk published a response to KevinMitnick, the world's top hacker, on Weibo. KevinMitnick is now an FBI security adviser. "Yes, thousands of Supercharging pile addresses have been approved or are under construction and we will release a new map of Supercharging stations in the coming days.

It is worth noting that the "address" that Mr. Musk uses on his address, rather than the "supercharging pile", means it is a new charging station, not a charging point.

Mr. Musk's statement means that its network of supercharging stations will more than double the size of its existing network, which now has 1252 charging stations and 9721 supercharging piles.

According to Musk's comments, although Tesla did not achieve the goal of having 10,000 Supercharged piles in operation by the end of 2017, it is expected to achieve this goal by 2018.

With increased competition from other networks, such as ElectryAmerica, Ionity, Ultra-E, and MEGA-E, Tesla quickly took more charging station addresses.

It is worth noting that, although the charging station is already in the process of being approved or under construction, there is still a long time to open online.

Tesla has much more to do to get supercharged piles online. Arrange to charge sites with homeowners, obtain city permits, transport hardware from California, recruit contractors to install hardware, and arrange access to electrical facilities.

Due to a large number of links, any obstacles to progress may delay Tesla's progress.

In the past few years, Tesla's Supercharging pile team has accumulated a lot of valuable experience, but there are still many things that are not under their control.

It remains to be seen where the charging station will be located and the latest map that Musk has promised.
