Moreover, in terms of charging services, Tesla and the Southern Power Grid will provide support for IQ EV users, offering one-stop comprehensive charging services through the IQ APP, effectively solving the charging problem that new energy vehicle owners most concern. At present, the number of charging terminals that IQ EV can access has reached 580,000, essentially achieving full coverage in prefecture-level cities and the service network covers more than 320 cities, which is of crucial significance to promote the popularization and use of new energy vehicles.
