Tesla has deployed its largest Destination Charging station in Asia – a giant station with 50 charge points.

We are starting to see Tesla deploy more charging infrastructure directly with municipalities and not just businesses. The move was announced earlier this year, but it went under the radar until now.
Maybe it could be an interesting solution for your local municipality?

Tesla’s Destination charging network is not getting as much attention as the automaker’s Supercharger network, but it is also growing fast.

While Tesla is definitely a for-profit company with responsibilities to its shareholders, its mission to accelerate the advent of sustainable energy is an altruistic one in many ways. If you think that’s just a front, this might convince you otherwise.
We recently learned some new information about Tesla’s Destination Charging program for businesses and it is even more generous than we originally thought.

Tesla’s Supercharger network is by far the most exciting of the company’s two charging networks since it’s faster and enables long-distance travel, but the Destination Charging network also plays an important role in Tesla’s EV infrastructure.
It’s clear that the company is betting on it since the network grew 25% globally over the past 3 months alone – to now over 5,000 locations.

Tesla first announced the upcoming introduction of its Destination Charging network in Europe almost 6 months ago. At the time, Tesla said that the network was “coming soon“, but the automaker’s charger map is still showing no destination charger in Europe.
Now we received reports of hotels in Europe, especially Denmark, Sweden and Norway, where Tesla Wall Connectors have been installed or delivered. We hear that the program could launch as soon as next month with new locations.
