As a followup to Ports & Plugs of the World Compared, this map indicates predominant types of on-the-road charging-equipment available to Tesla vehicles (as of November 2021) in major Tesla sales regions:
(Modified from material at interchargers.com.)
Notes
- Not all charging equipment can be used by all model-years.
- The colored-areas of the map are of countries with active Tesla online-sales and region-wide Supercharger availability.
- Wilderness, montane, arctic, and other undeveloped areas of otherwise indicated countries are generally without electric-charging facilities.
- Population-dense areas (e.g., South America, India, South Africa, and Russia) may be subject to active Tesla marketing plans and future development.

- China
- (Originally similar to Europe) Current Tesla vehicles (are now required to) have GB/T (National Standard) AC and DC ports
- GB/T (National Standard) charging equipment is standard (no adapter is required)
- GB/T-to-Type 2 adapters available for older Tesla cars
- Japan
- Similar to North America and South Korea except for its focus on (Japan-developed) CHAdeMO DC fast charging.
- Tesla vehicles have Tesla Proprietary Connector (TPC) ports
- Tesla Superchargers have TPC cable-plugs
- J1772 charging equipment requires J1772-to-TPC adapter
- CHAdeMO charging stations
- CHAdeMO-to-TPC adapter required
- Tesla CHAdeMO adapters may be available through Sales/Service Centers
- Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and other smaller areas (e.g., Hong Kong & Macao)
- Models S & X have Type 2 ("Menekes") AC/DC ports; Models 3 & Y come with CCS Combo 2 ports
- Type 2 (Tesla-modified) cable plugs at V2 Superchargers* (for Models S & X)
- Type 2 ("Mennekes") cable-equipped third-party stations
- CCS Combo 2 charging cables at V2 and V3 Superchargers and third-party stations (CCS2-to-Type 2 adapter required for Models S & X)
- CHAdeMO third-party equipment (CHAdeMO-to-Type 2 adapter required; for Models S & X; )
- New Tesla vehicles in Taiwan now use Type 2/CCS2 equipment. TPC cables on superchargers will be switched to CCS Combo 2 cables.
- North America and South Korea
- Tesla vehicles come with TPC ports
- Tesla Superchargers (with proprietary TPC plugs) are available for use by all model-years.
- J1772 cable-equipped charging stations (J1772-to-TPC adapter required for all cars)
- CCS Combo 1 equipment (CCS1-to-TPC adapter required)
- currently only aftermarket adapters are available in North America
- a Tesla CCS1 adapter is available in South Korea for Models 3 & Y
- CHAdeMO third-party sites
- Tesla CHAdeMO-to TCP adapter is required
- this type of Tesla CHAdeMO adapter is no longer for sale in North America
- Until recently Taiwan used this equipment, but has switched to the European-style Type 2 and CCS2 plugs.
- Not all charging equipment can be used by all model-years.
- The colored-areas of the map are of countries with active Tesla online-sales and region-wide Supercharger availability.
- Wilderness, montane, arctic, and other undeveloped areas of otherwise indicated countries are generally without electric-charging facilities.
- Population-dense areas (e.g., South America, India, South Africa, and Russia) may be subject to active Tesla marketing plans and future development.
