Tesla surpasses 70,000 chargers globally, as more sites open in Australia

Tesla has reached a new milestone in rolling out the world’s most reliable fast-charging network, announcing it has installed its 70,000th supercharger stall globally with the opening of its new 12-stall site in Burleson, Texas.

In a post on X, the company shared this with a photo of a black Cybertruck, charging at this newly opened site.

This comes just 8 months after the company rolled out its 60,000th supercharger stall which was located in Enshu Morimachi, Japan.

Tesla charging account on X also shared a chart of installed superchargers and the growth, highlighting some key trends.

First, the network has grown from around 5,000 stalls in 2017 to having over 70,000 stalls in 2025. 

On top of that, over the last few years, the network’s growth has continued to accelerate, despite previously reported cuts in the staffing numbers in the supercharger eam.

Tesla’s supercharger network grew considerably in 2024, with over 11,500 new stalls opening in 2024. The year ended with over 67,000 stalls globally with the network delivering over 5.2 TWh of energy over 2024.

Tesla is continuing to roll out bigger and bigger sites, and locally in Australia, still holds the title for opening and operating the biggest sites.

The latest and Australia’s biggest fast charging site, with a 20-stall supercharger site, is currently in the works at Goulburn, NSW.

Locally as well, Tesla has opened multiple new sites in recent weeks. The most recent site opened last week in the outer south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne at Pakenham.

That site is also open to non-Tesla EVs, ensuring the gateway to Gippsland has reliable charging infrastructure for all EVs.

Other new sites also include Cooma in NSW with 10 V4 superchargers, opened just in time for the snow season.

One notable mention is in Abbotsford in inner Melbourne, which has now been upgraded from 4 stalls to an 8-stall site.

According to data from carloop, the latest set of sites brings the total number of Tesla sites in the country to 122, with 740 stalls.

It also comes less than 10 months after the 100th site opened in South Australia. Tesla celebrated that milestone by installing a green and gold colour supercharger stall.

With the number of EVs increasing by the thousands every month in Australia and by hundreds of thousands globally, more reliable fast chargers will be needed. 

The growth of superchargers, both locally and globally, will assure many EV drivers that it’s heading in the right direction.
