Tesla Supercharger Network Reaches a NEW Milestone! On Its Way to 40,000 Stalls?

Tesla's Supercharger network continues to expand at an exponential rate. In fact, the electric vehicle maker owned by the ultra-rich billionaire Elon Musk recently achieved a massive milestone for its fast-charging facilities.

The giant automaker is not only focused on delivering thousands of electric vehicles to its customers. Tesla also finds time to work on its Supercharger network, ensuring that EV owners get their much-needed recharge wherever they might be.

Tesla Supercharger Network New Milestone

It is worth noting that much work still needs to be done to make the Supercharger stations of Tesla pretty much ubiquitous, like how gasoline stations have somewhat achieved.

But the expansion of the Tesla fast-charging network is still at an impressive pace.

As per a news story by Electrek, the Tesla Supercharger network books roughly around 35% of growth, at least year-over-year.

The news outlet gave more exact figures on the exponential growth of the Tesla Supercharger network. The automaker reportedly ended 2020 with 2,564 new stations, totaling 23,277.

On the other hand, when 2021 had its final curtain call, the Supercharger stations increased by about 3,476, ending last year with a total of 31,498.

It should be noted that the first Tesla fast-charging station opened its doors way back in 2012. And after almost a decade, it has grown into the massive network it now has become.

Now that we are inching closer to the middle of 2022, Tesla appears to be ramping up the global foothold of its Supercharger network.

According to the latest report by InsideEVs, the Tesla division in China was the bearer of good news for its customers.

The official Twitter account of Tesla Greater China shared the new milestone for the American EV maker.

The tweet disclosed that Tesla has finally deployed its 35,000th Supercharger stall. The latest milestone lands at the Dongxihu Tesla Center in Wuhan, China.

Tesla Greater China also boasted that the Musk-owned EV maker features the "largest fast-charging station in the world," which is already an impressive feat by itself.

All in all, Electrek notes that the American automaker has added roughly around 5,000 Superchargers in the past six months.

So, it appears that the growth of its fast-charging network outperforms the past two years - even with several months left in 2022.

Meanwhile, InsideEVs highlights that the latest figures suggest that Tesla is nearing another milestone - reaching its 40,000 Supercharger.
