JAKARTA - Various car manufacturers have agreed to collaborate with Tesla for the use of the Supercharger network in the United States (US), to make it easier for consumers to charge electric car batteries.

Now, not only in the US because the use of Tesla superchargers has expanded to China with the cooperation carried out by SAIC-General Motors, as well as being the first to use Tesla's charging.

Quoted from the CarBuzz page, Monday, November 13, through this partnership, GM's Cadillac and Buick brands will be allowed to use Tesla Superchargers starting at the end of 2023. Cadillac and Buick EV owners can search for Supercharger stations via mobile apps.

It is known that Tesla in China is not only assembling and marketing its electric cars but also building a supercharger network, there are even 1,800 stations with 11,000 Supercharger kiosks. In addition, there are also those built with special destinations of more than 700 charging stations and 2,000 charging kiosks distributed in hotels, resorts and shopping centers.

Some of the models that can use this in the Chinese market are Buick including Electra E4, Electra E5, and Velite 6. While Cadillac has a medium luxury Lyriq crossover.

With this collaboration, it is possible that various Chinese brands and other major manufacturers in the future will adopt Tesla's supercharger, just like what happened in the United States.
