Tesla’s supercharger network grows 18 pct, with denser and faster technology

Tesla runs and operates the world’s most reliable and extensive charging network, and has doubled down on rolling out more charging stations as the global EV adoption continues to grow.

New data released as part of the company’s Q3 earnings pack shows that the company hit several key milestones, including an overall Year-on-Year (YoY) growth of 18%, with 3,500 stalls coming online in just Q3 alone.

As of October, there are over 7,800 open sites across the world, making up 74,000 fast charging stalls, according to data from supercharge info.

During Q3, Tesla also launched its upgraded V4 supercharger hardware, with power density increasing by 3-fold and the new tech supporting two times as many stalls per power cabinet when compared to the previous generation V3 hardware.

On the power density front, V4 cabinets have the potential to double the supercharging speeds to 500 kW, while supporting a range of high-voltage architectures. For trucks, this would be as high as 1.2 MW per stall.

Looking at the Supercharger network growth, it’s worth noting that the company started the program in 2012. 

By 2017, it was operating 5,000 stalls globally before seeing a rapid surge in deployments int he following years.

By Q4 2024, Tesla rolled out its 60,000th supercharger stall, which was located in Enshu Morimachi, Japan.

Then, as of the end of Q2 in June 2025, Tesla reached a new milestone in installing its 70,000th supercharger stall globally. That was with the opening of a new 12-stall site in Burleson, Texas. 

Since then, the company has added another 4,000 stalls, 3,500 of which were in Q3, bringing the total to just shy of 74,000.

Tesla is continuing to roll out bigger and bigger sites, and locally in Australia, it 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, alo opened during Q3 in Goulburn, NSW. 

Notable sites under construction include Tasmania’s second site, located in the suburb of Glenorchy, about 15 minutes north-west of Hobart CBD.

Charles G, an avid reader of The Driven and Australian Tesla supercharger site expert, recently shared an update on this site’s construction progress on tmc, with the site looking like it’s a few weeks from coming online.

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. Tesla appears to be adding well over 1,000 stalls a month, making switching to cleaner EVs even easier.
