Tesla launches Supercharger network in Chile, a first entry in South America

Tesla has officially launched its Supercharger network in Chile, marking the automaker’s first entry into South America.

The automaker has expanded its efforts throughout North America and most of Europe and is still gradually expanding in Asia.

But there is one continent that Tesla has not yet reached: South America.

Late last year, we reported that this was about to change when Tesla began listing jobs in Chile.

A year later, something begins to move.

Tesla announced today that it has officially launched its Supercharger network in Chile with the first two stations:

One is in Santiago, the country’s metropolis, and the other is in Currauma, on the coast.

Tesla has already opened two stores in Chile, both in Santiago, and the automaker also has a service center in the city:

Tesla is already accepting orders in the country and the Chilean Model Y configurator currently shows delivery in “October-November”:

Chile is an interesting choice for a first entry into the South American market. The Chilean car market consists of only about 300,000 vehicles sold per year.

This is roughly equivalent to the number of vehicles sold in Brazil each month.

Although the country’s car market is small, there is strong interest in electric vehicles, which could explain Tesla’s push.

The country is rich in lithium, an important material for electric vehicle batteries, which has helped spur interest in electric vehicles in the country. The government also announced an initiative that will only allow new sales of electric vehicles in the country from 2035.

It will be interesting to see how Tesla will compete with Chinese automakers, who have so far been leading the electrification of South American markets.
