Tesla Supercharger Network Tops 85,000 Stalls Across 9,000 Sites

Tesla has expanded its Supercharger network beyond 85,000 stalls across 9,000 sites, marking another milestone as the company continues building out its fast-charging footprint.
Friday’s update from Tesla Charging put the network past both marks, adding that it is “still growing.” A chart shared with the update traces Supercharger expansion from the network’s launch in 2012 through October 2, 2026.
The latest milestone shows how far Tesla’s charging infrastructure has expanded over the past 14 years. Superchargers were originally developed to support Tesla owners on longer trips, but the network has since become a much broader part of the electric vehicle charging landscape.
Tesla operates the largest fast-charging network in North America, giving the company a major infrastructure advantage as EV adoption continues to expand. The network has also become increasingly important beyond Tesla’s own vehicles.
In recent years, Tesla has been opening Supercharger access to electric vehicles from other automakers through the North American Charging Standard, or NACS. A growing number of automakers have adopted the connector, giving compatible non-Tesla EVs access to participating Supercharger locations.
That shift means new Supercharger stalls are no longer only about adding capacity for Tesla drivers. Continued expansion also supports a wider group of EV owners as more vehicles gain access to the network.
The 85,000-stall milestone comes as Tesla continues adding sites and expanding existing infrastructure. Friday’s update did not provide a timeline for the next major threshold, but the company made clear that construction is continuing.
With Supercharger access spreading across more vehicle brands, Tesla’s next phase of growth will centre on adding capacity while supporting a larger mix of EVs at its charging locations.
