Tesla Hits 85,000 Superchargers at 9,000 Locations Worldwide
North America holds 51.1% of stalls, while 62.5% of sites now support non-Tesla EVs.
Tesla’s Supercharger network has reached 9,000 active locations and over 85,000 stalls globally, according to data tracked by supercharge.info. The milestone marks a significant acceleration in infrastructure deployment, with the network adding roughly 5,000 stalls in the last six months.
What Happened
Data from supercharge.info confirms that Tesla now operates 9,000 open and active Supercharger locations with more than 85,000 stalls. Tesla’s Director of Charging, Max de Zegher, acknowledged the accuracy of the figures in a social media response to supercharge.info’s John Baker, stating, “Your numbers are very close to ours.”
The network has expanded rapidly since early 2021, when it consisted of approximately 2,500 sites and 23,000 stalls. In the third quarter alone, Tesla opened about 2,700 stalls, a 15% increase year-over-year, and delivered 2.4 TWh of energy, up 29% from the same period last year.
North America remains the largest market for the network, hosting 43,158 open stalls (51.1%), followed by Europe with 22,574 stalls (26.7%) and Asia Pacific with 18,651 stalls (22.1%). South America currently has just 20 stalls. Of the 9,002 open sites, 8,896 (98.8%) are directly owned by Tesla, while 106 sites (1.2%) are part of the Supercharger for Business program. In terms of stalls, 84,427 (99.3%) are Tesla-owned, and 628 (0.7%) are business-operated.
Interoperability continues to grow, with 5,622 sites (62.5%) now supporting other EV brands, accounting for 61,071 stalls (71.8%). Tesla attributes the accelerating growth to new deployment methods, including the recently debuted Accordion Supercharger, pre-fabricated posts, and folding Superchargers designed for quicker installation.
Why It Matters
The expansion of the Supercharger network reinforces Tesla’s position as the dominant provider of DC fast-charging infrastructure, particularly as more competitors adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS). With 62.5% of sites now open to non-Tesla EVs, the network is increasingly becoming a public utility for the broader EV market, not just Tesla owners.
For buyers, the density of stalls in North America and Europe offers a competitive advantage in range anxiety mitigation compared to other charging networks. The introduction of features like Emergency Drive Away, though currently limited to U.S. Superchargers, addresses operational friction for drivers. Additionally, the Supercharger for Business program allows private entities to monetize their locations while leveraging Tesla’s management, potentially accelerating expansion in underserved commercial areas.
The Bottom Line
Tesla’s Supercharger network has surpassed 85,000 stalls across 9,000 locations worldwide, with growth driven by faster deployment techniques and increasing openness to non-Tesla vehicles. At the current pace of approximately 2,500 to 2,700 new stalls per quarter, the network is projected to reach 90,000 stalls by next spring.
