Northern Territory to get its first Tesla Supercharger, as expansion continues

Tesla has been rapidly growing its reliable charging network and has been rolling out more charging stations across many parts of Australia, including the most southern site, opening last month, near Hobart in Tasmania.

Now, Tesla has been spotted developing its most northern site in Australia, this time in Darwin, and the site been officially labelled as “In Development” on its supercharger map.

This was first picked up by an avid reader of The Driven, Charles G, who shared on TMC forum: “It’s just popped up on the website map!”

The new site is located at Millner in NT, north of Darwin CBD, close to the Darwin International Airport, at the Jape Homemaker Centre.

The number of charging stalls or their speed is still unknown and is likely to surface after construction begins.

As per other Tesla supercharger sites under development, the pinned location is subject to change and is updated monthly.

This is a pretty significant milestone for Tesla and owners in and around Darwin as it would be the company’s first supercharger site in the territory.

According to NT’s Department of Logistics and Infrastructure, there are over 1,300 passenger EVs in the territory and has been growing fairly quickly over the last 18 months, rising from just shy of 750 EVs as of 1 June 2024.

With growth in EVs continuing to rise and adoption of EVs from private drivers and rideshare/taxi services continuing to increase around locations such as airports, this site would serve hundreds of cleaner trips every month.

In recent times, Tesla has continued to expand its network, not only geographically but also towards larger sites to support strong EV growth in many parts of Australia. As of December 2025, the largest fast-charging site in Australia is located in Goulburn, NSW and has 20 charging stalls.

The supercharger network is a key part of reliable EV charging infrastructure, and with growth in the Tesla fleet, which recently hit 150,000 EVs, and more broadly EV adoption across the country, expansion of the network into new regions will only build confidence for drivers looking to make the switch.

We look forward to hearing from our readers from the Northern Territory on suggested locations where EV drivers would greatly benefit from having reliable charging.
