Tesla is expanding its presence and infrastructure in Japan following a significant surge in demand. In the first half of 2026, the company sold approximately 12,000 vehicles, surpassing its total sales for the entire previous year. This growth is linked to changes in Japan’s national electric vehicle subsidy structure and promotional campaigns. To manage this demand, Tesla plans to increase its delivery network by 60%, expanding from seven to 11 locations, including sites in Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya, and greater Tokyo.

In addition to vehicle sales, Tesla is expanding its energy sector in the region. The Japanese installer Exsol announced it will begin selling the Tesla Powerwall 3 residential hybrid battery starting in September 2026. The unit features integrated power conditioning and AI-driven management, and it is eligible for the 2026 Zero-Energy House support scheme.
