Palo Alto, CA – Tesla has now surpassed 50,000 Supercharger stations worldwide, furthering its lead in providing fast charging options for electric vehicle owners. This major milestone demonstrates Tesla’s dominance in building out electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
According to detailed data released this week by Tesla, there are now over 50,000 individual Supercharger stalls spread across more than 4,000 Supercharger locations in 48 countries around the world. The achievement highlights Tesla’s continued commitment to expanding its charging network as it ramps up vehicle production to meet strong demand.
The United States, which is Tesla’s largest market, is home to the most Superchargers by far, with over 30,000 nationwide. China, the world’s largest auto market, ranks second globally with over 10,000 Superchargers. Other countries with significant Tesla infrastructure include The Netherlands with 2,225 Superchargers, Germany with 2,156, the United Kingdom with 1,968, Canada with 1,875, France with 1,759, Norway with 1,715, Sweden with 1,625, and Japan with 1,568.
In just the second quarter of 2023 alone, Tesla managed to add over 10,000 brand new Supercharger stalls worldwide, representing incredibly rapid growth. Tesla has stated ambitious goals before of reaching 1 million Superchargers globally by 2030, and this latest milestone shows it is making strong progress.
“Surpassing 50,000 Superchargers is an extraordinary achievement for Tesla and an important step toward our vision of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy,” said Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a statement. “We remain firmly committed to expanding our Supercharger network rapidly to make charging an electric vehicle as fast, seamless, and convenient as possible for drivers across the globe.”
The Supercharger network enables Tesla owners to quickly recharge their vehicles while on long distance trips, with most sites able to add hundreds of miles of charge in just 30 minutes. This unique capability has long set Tesla apart from other electric vehicle brands. In recent years, Tesla has also opened many Supercharger stations to non-Tesla EVs, encouraging broader adoption.
Industry analysts say that Tesla’s charging lead over other networks is likely to continue over the next decade. With many new models slated for release and rising global demand, Tesla’s achievement of 50,000 Superchargers is unlikely to be its last major charging milestone.
