Recently, Tesla launched the first batch of 2 supercharging stations in Morocco, northwest of Africa. This marks Tesla’s first step into the African market. The supercharging stations each have 4 V2 charging piles with a power of 150 kW, not the 250 kW V3 charging piles.
Interestingly, Tesla currently does not have dealers or service centers in Africa, but there are still many Tesla products and followers in the local area. It is reported that these Teslas were imported to Africa by private individuals, so some functions of the vehicles cannot be used locally. According to past practices, Tesla will determine whether to enter the market officially based on the number of local Tesla owners, and when Tesla prepares to enter a new market, it will first deploy supercharging stations and service centers locally. However, considering that both supercharging stations are deployed in hotels, it is also very likely to be prepared for European Tesla owners who come on vacation. In any case, after deploying two supercharging stations, Tesla will find it easier to open up the African market.
