Jul 4, 2024, 02:00 PM

Tesla's Model Y has been included in the Jiangsu provincial government's new energy vehicle (NEV) procurement catalog. This marks the first time a Tesla vehicle has been approved for purchase by a local government in China. The inclusion of the Model Y in the procurement list is significant as Tesla has previously faced challenges entering state organs and government procurement in China. The Model Y is listed among electric and plug-in hybrid models that can be purchased as a service car. The decision was reported by the official Chinese media outlet, the Paper, and is seen as a notable development for Tesla's presence in the Chinese market.
