Tesla Reaches 85,000 Supercharger Stalls Across 9,000 Sites

Tesla’s Supercharger network has surpassed 9,000 locations and 85,000 stalls worldwide. According to data from supercharge.info, there are now 9,000 open and active Supercharger sites with more than 85,000 stalls. Tesla’s Director of Charging, Max de Zegher, responded to a breakdown from supercharge.info’s John Baker, noting, “Your numbers are very close to ours.”

This milestone comes about six months after Tesla hit 80,000 Supercharger stalls in April, adding roughly 5,000 since then.

Supercharger Growth Keeps Accelerating

Charts from supercharge.info show the pace has quickened. The network stood near 2,500 sites and 23,000 stalls at the start of 2021. Since then, it has added roughly 6,500 sites and more than 60,000 stalls, with the growth curve steepening each year.

Tesla’s Q3 results align with that trend: about 2,700 stalls opened in the quarter, up 15% year over year. Between July and September, Superchargers delivered 2.4 TWh of energy, a 29% increase from a year earlier.

Baker’s breakdown indicates that 8,896 of the 9,002 open sites (98.8%) are Tesla’s. The remaining 106 (1.2%) originate from the Supercharger for Business program, which lets businesses buy and brand Tesla-managed Superchargers. Businesses keep all revenue from these white-label Superchargers, minus a service fee charged by Tesla, and more companies are joining the program.

By stall count, 84,427 (99.3%) are Tesla’s and 628 (0.7%) are Superchargers for Business. In total, 5,622 Supercharger sites (62.5%) support other EVs, representing 61,071 stalls (71.8%).

Where Most Superchargers Are

North America accounts for more than half of Tesla’s Supercharger network, with 43,158 open stalls (51.1%), followed by Europe at 22,574 (26.7%) and Asia Pacific at 18,651 (22.1%). South America has 20. The supercharge.info map shows dense clusters across the U.S., Europe, and China, with 365 known sites under construction and 1,412 more planned worldwide.

How Tesla Is Building Faster

Tesla’s evolving deployment methods are propelling growth. Last month, it debuted the Accordion Supercharger to simplify installs in challenging locations. The company is also moving toward pre-fabricated posts that can be set and wired quickly, along with folding Superchargers that speed installation. These approaches are expanding the world’s largest DC fast-charging infrastructure.

Last week, Tesla introduced an Emergency Drive Away feature that lets drivers break away from a stall in an emergency, though it is limited to U.S. Superchargers for now.

At roughly 2,500 to 2,700 new stalls per quarter, Tesla is on pace to reach the 90,000-stall mark around next spring.
