Tesla Hits 80,000 Superchargers With Huge Site in France

Tesla announced this week that it has surpassed 80,000 Supercharger stalls worldwide, reinforcing its lead as the operator of the world’s largest fast‑charging network.

The milestone 80,000th stall went live at an expanded site in France. Located at 3 Rue Louis Chappée, Saint‑Saturnin, the location recently added 28 stalls for a total of 48, and now includes solar canopies and restrooms—making it a strong stop for travelers in Europe.

A Staggering Pace of Growth

Tesla’s first Supercharger came online in September 2012, and the company reached the 40,000‑stall mark in November 2022. The jump from 40,000 to 80,000 stalls then took less than four years, indicating the network is now growing nearly three times faster than during its first decade.

Recent Q1 2026 figures show 53 million sessions, 1.8 TWh of energy delivered, and 2,500 new stalls added in just three months. On average, the global Supercharger network is now delivering about 20 GWh of energy per day.

New Tech Driving Expansion

Tesla has transitioned its New York factory entirely to producing V4 Supercharger cabinets. These V4 units are less expensive to deploy and can power up to eight stalls—double the capacity of V3. Going forward, all new Supercharger locations will be fully V4, including next‑generation cabinets and V4 stalls with longer cables and integrated payment terminals as the network opens to other brands.

The company also introduced “Folding Unit” Superchargers. These pre‑built systems are 20% cheaper and twice as fast to install, enabling Tesla to place entire charging banks in a parking lot and bring them online in a fraction of the usual time.

Looking ahead to the next 80,000 stalls, Tesla is prioritizing high‑volume, high‑power hubs. As the Cybercab and Tesla Semi roll out in greater numbers, demand for 500kW and megawatt‑level charging will increase. The hardware is in place—the question now is how quickly the remaining regions can be covered.
