Tesla is credited with running the world’s most reliable charging network, and has been ramping up the rollout of more charging stations in many parts of the world with the expansion of EV uptake.
The company has announced that – after 14 years of deployment at more than 9,000 active sites, it has now installed over 85,000 superchargers, with the milestone charging station being located in Tsuchiura, Japan.
Tesla started the Supercharger program in the US in 2012. By 2017, it had operated 5,000 stalls globally before deployments surged in the following years. In late 2024, Tesla rolled out its 60,000th supercharger stall, located in Enshu Morimachi, Japan.
The 75,000th supercharger was installed in Australia in 2025, and the special Tesla “glacier blue” supercharger stall is located in Hobart, Tasmania.
Locally, the company continues to roll out bigger and bigger sites, although the 20-stall Goulburn site in NSW, has recently been surpassed by a BP Pulse site in Melbourne with 24 stalls.
That site is unlikely to hold its title for long, with a few other charging hub-style sites under development. One is in Yass, NSW, with a proposed Tesla 24 supercharger stall site, as EV enthusiast Richard shared it on X.
In Australia, the Supercharger network is a key part of reliable EV charging infrastructure, with much more needed as EV sales continue to surge, reaching a record 24.8 per cent share of new car sales in August.
