Tesla now has over 39,000 Stalls at 4,300 Stations across 46 Nations

Elon Musk-owned electric vehicle company Tesla has stepped into its 10 years of anniversary in the charging industry.

Numerous notions that Tesla developed were truly ground-breaking as the network itself was an EV brand's first exclusive fast-charging network. This is because its initial availability as a free service for Tesla vehicles served as a marketing tool to attract buyers for Model Tesla S.

The Tesla Supercharging network now includes over 39,000 stalls at 4,300 stations across 46 nations in 10 years. For every 1,000 or more cars it sells, Tesla has been deploying a new station on average in recent quarters.

In September 2012, the first stations were built during the Tesla Model S market debut. With the lengthy range of the Model S, supercharging at 90 kW and eventually up to 120 kW was a significant development that made using an electric vehicle for long distance trips possible.

However, not only CCS was not yet accessible at that time. The SAE J1772 AC connector and the DC-only CHAdeMO connector were different products, whereas Tesla utilized its ultra-compact proprietary connector for both standard AC charging and rapid DC charging.

More than that, the network provides energy to run Tesla cars for about 20 billion miles (32 billion km). As the company is testing Supercharging of non-Tesla vehicles in Europe, the project takes place at a few stations in 14 different nations.

Due to a single fleet of vehicles and its own customer database, Tesla invented a highly handy way to access the charging inlet which is through a button on the plug which goes on with a very quick authorization of the vehicle with automated charging start.

The most recent news announces that the carmaker plans to produce 50,000 units of Tesla semi electric trucks per year in 2024. With that being said, Tesla expected to build more Megacharging networks anytime soon in the future.
