Tesla runs Australia’s most efficient and most reliable fast-charging network with more than one hundred fast-charging sites across the country.
Now, Tesla has announced updates to its supercharger map to help more EV drivers plan for upcoming road trips.
The company has updated its existing supercharger map globally to show 30 new sites being planned or under construction in Australia. These sites will grow the existing network site count by nearly one third.
On Tesla Charging’s X page, the company revealed the update with a link to its global supercharging map which shows the new sites as grey round dots.

This includes locations that are under construction or will be soon.
We plan on updating this monthly to give you transparency into our short-term growth plans.https://t.co/ZYdSgYgxGd

The upcoming sites cover most states, although the previously proposed site in Hobart, Tasmania is no longer showing on the updated map. Another proposed site now missing from the map in in Byron Bay.
Some of the sites in Australia which appear under these planned or under consutriction supercharger grey round dots include:
- Queensland
- Cairns
- Tully
- Mackay
- St Lawrence
- Bundaberg
- Maryborough
- Sunshine Coast
- Gatton
- NSW
- Tweed Heads South
- Ballina
- Coffs Harbour – Vernon St
- Armidale
- Narrabri
- Kew
- Newcastle
- Parkes
- Coolac
- Manly
- Waterloo
- Alexandria
- Lidcombe
- Bankstown
- Pambula
- Victoria
- Traralgon
- South Morang
- Laverton
- South Australia
- Bordertown
- Glenelg
- Western Australia
- Perth
- Southern Cross
These sites are on top of the the sites that have previously won the “Supercharger Voting Winner” award over the last couple of years.
Those 5 Australian winning sites are listed under “In development” with a yellow star dot on the national supercharging map. These include:
- Batemans Bay, NSW
- Mansfield, Victoria
- Apollo Bay, Victoria
- Port Augusta, South Australia
- Southern Cross, Western Australia
At this stage, it’s unclear at the number of bays at these upcoming sites. Having said that, in recently opened sites, a minimum of 4 bays with 250 kW charging stalls per site has been observed which could provide a hint on what to expect from future sites across the country.
With such rapid development of supercharger sites across Australia, the improvements in our charging network are well underway. It’ll also make road-tripping easier for not only existing and future Tesla drivers but for EV drivers more broadly.
