Jul 5, 2024, 08:47 AM

Tesla's Model Y has been included in the Jiangsu provincial government's new energy vehicle procurement catalog, marking the first time that Tesla has been eligible for government purchases in China. This inclusion is seen as a significant milestone for Tesla, which has faced challenges entering the government procurement market in China. The Model Y is now part of a list of electric and plug-in hybrid models that local governments in China can purchase as service cars. Additionally, several state-owned firms in Shanghai have recently purchased batches of Model Y vehicles for corporate use, reflecting a broader acceptance of Tesla vehicles in the Chinese market.
