With a total floor space of approximately 2,800 square meters, Tesla Center Chiba Inage has a customer-meeting space and car maintenance facilities. By the end of the year, the company plans to install eight of its Supercharger quick-charging facilities, which enable EVs to run as far as 275 kilometers after charging for 15 minutes.
“The EV rate in Japan is low compared to other developed countries, but a wave is sure to come,” an official of Tesla’s Japanese arm said. “As a pioneer of EVs, we want to lead the way.”
