Electric car manufacturer Tesla has signed a deal with Chinese theme park operator Haichang Holdings to build charging stations at all of its locations, with the potential of Tesla-themed events to be held in future.
The two companies signed a memorandum of co-operation on Monday (25 August) and now Haichang will identify sites to develop supercharger stations for Tesla’s electric vehicles, later looking to organise “cultural activities or events with the theme of vehicles,” at the operator’s attractions.
Haichang’s eight aquatic theme parks emphasise the likes of polar bears, penguins and conservation and the company’s board said that it believed the new deal ties in with the group’s mission “to insist on environmental protection” as well as facilitate brand building and marketing.
