In the course of the third quarter of 2023, Tesla barely accelerated the speed of growth of its Supercharging community world wide.
The variety of new stations (globally) amounted to 330 (up six p.c year-over-year), which is the best consequence up to now this 12 months.
The variety of new particular person connectors elevated by 11 p.c year-over-year to three,023, which is one of the best consequence up to now in 2023. The typical ratio of connectors per station amounted to 9.2 (in comparison with 8.7 a 12 months in the past).
The amount of deployment varies relying on a number of components. The best variety of new stations and connectors was recorded in This fall 2020 and This fall 2022.
Tesla famous in its Q3 monetary report that the Supercharging community stays worthwhile (together with investments in growth) and acknowledged that the main focus is to deal with non-Tesla EVs sooner or later: “Pay-per-use Supercharging stays a worthwhile enterprise for the corporate, at the same time as we scale capital expenditures. Our staff is concentrated on materially increasing Supercharging capability and additional bettering capability administration in anticipation of different OEMs becoming a member of our community.”
Tesla Supercharging community – Q3’2023 outcomes (YOY change):
New stations: 330 (up 6%) New particular person connectors (stalls): 3,023 (up 11%) Connectors (stalls) per station on common: 9.2 (up 5%)
Up to now this 12 months, Tesla already put in greater than 900 new Supercharging stations and over 8,600 particular person stalls. That is a comparatively excessive quantity (in comparison with different networks) and the speed was barely increased than a 12 months in the past.
Tesla Supercharging community – Q1-Q3’2023 outcomes (YOY change):
New stations: 917 (up 14%) New particular person connectors (stalls): 8,686 (up 18%) Connectors (stalls) per station on common: 9.5 (up 4%)
Relating to the present measurement of the community, it already consists of virtually 5,600 stations and greater than 51,000 particular person charging stalls. That is nearly one third greater than a 12 months in the past.
Tesla Supercharging community – cumulative numbers (YOY change):
New stations: 5,595 (up 31%) New particular person connectors (stalls): 51,105 (up 31%) Connectors (stalls) per station on common: 9.1 (up 1%)
In September, Tesla celebrated the set up of its 50,000th Supercharging stall, which occurred to be a particular one put in in California.
The variety of Tesla Superchargers – stalls (globally):
1st: September 2012 10,000: June 2018 20,000: November 2020 30,000: November 2021 (+10,000 in 1 12 months) 35,000: June 10 2022 (+5,000 in roughly 7 months) 10 years: September 2012-2022 Europe (10,000): October 5, 2022 40,000: November 22 2022 (+10,000 in 1 12 months) China (10,000): December 26, 2022 45,000: April 9, 2023 (+5,000 in lower than 5 months, +10,000 in 10 months) 50,000: September 8, 2023 (+5,000 in roughly 5 months, +10,000 in lower than 10 months)
If all the 50,000+ stalls had been powered concurrently, at 100 kW common (for illustrative functions), the entire output could be over 5.0 GW.
Non-Tesla Supercharging
Moreover, Tesla continues to broaden the Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot, which is accessible at choose stations in some markets.
The non-Tesla pilot at the moment contains over 20 international locations:
North America: Europe and surrounding markets: Europe (15 international locations) – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom[Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard]Moreover, to deal with varied EVs, new V4 stations are outfitted with an extended cable Turkey[Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard] Asia Pacific: Australia[Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard] New Zealand[Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard] Mainland China[Native compatibility with the local GB/T standards]
To make the Superchargers extra accessible to non-Tesla EV drivers, the brand new V4 stalls include a contactless financial institution card reader and a small show. By equipping the chargers with these options, the Tesla app won’t be wanted to begin a charging session sooner or later.
Supercharging Energy
As of at the moment, Tesla Superchargers provide a peak energy output of as much as 250 kW, however it’s anticipated to extend fairly considerably.
Previously, there have been stories about 300 kW and extra sooner or later, and a rumor about 324 kW within the case of V3 Superchargers.
Earlier this 12 months, Tesla launched its first V4 Superchargers in Europe. In america, the primary V4 installations had been noticed in just a few states in October. The V4s within the US are outfitted with an built-in CCS1 adapter (aka Magic Dock), a bank card reader, and a small show, to deal with non-Tesla EVs.
Tesla Superchargers peak output:
Individually, Tesla is constructing quick chargers for electrical vehicles (Tesla Semi) – recognized additionally as Tesla Megachargers), that are promised to supply a megawatt charging stage.
Charging requirements
In This fall 2022, Tesla introduced the opening of its proprietary charging commonplace, which might be known as the North American Charging Normal (NACS). In Might 2023, Ford introduced the change from CCS1 to NACS in North America (beginning in 2025). Normal Motors adopted the transfer and, since then, a number of different EV producers, charging networks and charging gear producers introduced assist of NACS.
Individually, Tesla began to retrofit its chargers in North America with an built-in CCS1 adapter (aka Magic Dock) to cost electrical automobiles appropriate with the CCS Combo 1/J1772 Combo commonplace. A small variety of such stations (V3) had been already put in. The brand new V4 variations are also getting the Magic Dock.
In Europe (and many of the remainder of the world), new Tesla vehicles are outfitted with a CCS Combo 2 appropriate charging inlet for each AC and DC charging.
In China, the corporate makes use of GB/T charging inlets (one for AC and one for DC charging).
Tesla Supercharging plugs fluctuate relying in the marketplace:
North America (and another markets, like South Korea, and Japan): a proprietary charging commonplace, named the North American Charging Normal (NACS) by Tesla With the Magic Dock (built-in CCS1 adapter), Supercharging stalls are in a position to cost CCS1-compatible, non-Tesla EVs Europe (and many of the remainder of the world): CCS2-compatible charging standardInitially, there was a unique plug, appropriate with AC Kind 2 inlets, utilized by Tesla for DC charging (the inlet served 1- or 3-phase AC charging, in addition to DC charging at Superchargers). With the launch of the Mannequin 3 in Europe (and the next fashions – Mannequin Y, refreshed Mannequin S/Mannequin X), Tesla switched to CCS2-compatible charging inlet, and retrofitted Superchargers with CCS2-compatible plugs for DC charging. Lots of the Superchargers at the moment are outfitted with two completely different plugs, however the newer, CCS2-compatible is the way in which to go ahead. China: GB/T-compatible charging commonplace (two inlets on automobile aspect: one for AC and one for DC charging)
