Tesla is introducing a virtual queue system for its Supercharger network, aiming to improve the experience for drivers who face wait times at busy charging stations. The company announced that pilot programs will begin in the second quarter of 2025 at select locations, with a broader rollout planned later this year if feedback is positive.
The virtual queue is designed to address the roughly 1% of cases where drivers have to wait for an available charger. Instead of lining up physically, Tesla owners will be able to reserve a spot in the queue through their app, reducing congestion and making charging more efficient. It is unclear how this virtual lineup will work for non-Tesla vehicles. But this is a start for busy Superchargers on holidays.
In addition to this new feature, Tesla emphasized that it is continuing to expand its Supercharger network by more than 20% year-over-year, ensuring that charging infrastructure keeps up with growing demand.
