Tesla has announced a significant expansion of its global charging infrastructure, reaching over 70,000 Supercharger stalls across 53 countries. The milestone was confirmed by the official Tesla Charging account on X, highlighting the company's sustained efforts to support long-distance electric vehicle travel. "Go anywhere. 70,000 Supercharger posts across 53 countries, and counting!" the company stated in its celebratory tweet, underscoring its ambition for seamless EV mobility.
This achievement reflects a rapid acceleration in network deployment, with 10,000 new stalls added in just nine months since the 60,000th Supercharger was installed in Japan in October 2024. The 70,000th post itself opened in Burleson, Texas, as part of a 12-stall V3 Supercharger site. Since its inception in 2012 with only six stations, Tesla's Supercharger network has grown exponentially, cementing its role as a critical enabler of EV adoption worldwide.
The Supercharger network remains a key competitive advantage for Tesla, offering industry-leading charging speeds and reliability. In a strategic move to further accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, Tesla is increasingly opening its network to non-Tesla electric vehicles. This is facilitated by the widespread adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) by major automakers, making Tesla's extensive fast-charging infrastructure accessible to a broader range of EV drivers.
Looking ahead, Tesla is testing a new virtual queuing system to enhance user experience and reduce potential wait times at high-demand locations. The company is also deploying its latest V4 Supercharger posts, which feature longer cables to accommodate a wider variety of EV models. This continuous expansion and innovation reinforce Tesla's dominant position in the global fast-charging landscape, providing essential support for the growing electric vehicle market.
