In the course of the fourth quarter of 2023, Tesla continued to broaden its Supercharging community all over the world at a near-record price.
The variety of new stations (deployed globally) amounted to 357 (down 10% year-over-year), which is the third highest quarterly outcome ever.
Get Totally Charged
6,000 Tesla Supercharging stations
On the finish of 2023, the variety of Tesla Supercharging stations (globally) exceeded 5,950. As of at the moment, it is virtually actually above 6,000, which makes it the most important EV quick charging community of its sort.
The variety of new particular person connectors in This autumn elevated by 3,783 (up 7% year-over-year). That is the second highest outcome ever. The common ratio of connectors per station amounted to 10.6 (in comparison with 9.0 a 12 months in the past).
The info confirms that for Tesla, the fourth quarters are the strongest in relation to Superchargers deployment.
Tesla Supercharging community – This autumn’2023 outcomes (YOY change):
New stations: 357 (down 10%) New particular person connectors (stalls): 3,787 (up 7%) Connectors (stalls) per station on common: 10.6 (up 18%)

In 2023, Tesla put in greater than 1,270 new Supercharging stations and over 12,400 particular person stalls. In each circumstances, the numbers are document excessive, though the year-over-year is small (6% for stations and 14% for stalls).
Tesla Supercharging community – Q1-This autumn’2023 outcomes (YOY change):
New stations: 1,274 (up 6%) New particular person connectors (stalls): 12,473 (up 14%) Connectors (stalls) per station on common: 9.8 (up 8%)

In the case of the present measurement of the community, it consists of roughly 6,000 stations and 55,000 particular person charging stalls. That is near 30% greater than a 12 months in the past.
Tesla Supercharging community – cumulative numbers (YOY change):
New stations: 5,952 (up 27%) New particular person connectors (stalls): 54,892 (up 29%) Connectors (stalls) per station on common: 9.2 (up 2%)

In September 2023, Tesla celebrated the set up of its 50,000th Supercharging stall, which occurred to be a particular one put in in California. Just lately, it handed 55,000.
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) 55,000: January 4, 2024 (+5,000 in roughly 4 months)
If all the 55,000+ stalls had been powered concurrently, at a 100 kW common (for illustrative functions), the whole output could be over 5.5 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 present consists of over 20 international locations:
North America: Europe and surrounding markets: Europe (18 international locations) – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Eire, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom[Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard]Moreover, to deal with numerous EVs, new V4 stations are outfitted with an extended cable Turkey[Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard] Asia Pacific:
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 may not 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, but it surely’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.
In 2023, Tesla launched its first V4 Superchargers in Europe. In the USA, the primary V4 installations had been noticed in just a few states in October 2023 and launched that month. 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 vans (Tesla Semi) – recognized additionally as Tesla Megachargers), that are promised to supply a megawatt charging stage.
Charging requirements
In This autumn 2022, Tesla introduced the opening of its proprietary charging normal, which will likely be known as the North American Charging Commonplace (NACS) and standardized as SAE J3400. 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 tools producers introduced assist for NACS.
Individually, Tesla began to retrofit its chargers in North America with an built-in CCS1 adapter (aka Magic Dock) to cost electrical autos appropriate with the CCS Combo 1/J1772 Combo normal. A small variety of such stations (V3) had been already put in in 2023. The brand new V4 variations are also getting the Magic Dock.
In Europe (and many of the remainder of the world), new Tesla automobiles 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 normal, named the North American Charging Commonplace (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 distinct plug, appropriate with AC Sort 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. Most of the Superchargers are actually outfitted with two completely different plugs, however the newer, CCS2-compatible is the best way to go ahead. China: GB/T-compatible charging normal (two inlets on automobile aspect: one for AC and one for DC charging)
Gross sales of chargers to different networks
The fourth quarter of 2023 revealed a really attention-grabbing transfer made by Tesla, which began gross sales of DC quick charging options to different charging networks all over the world.
The primary deal was introduced in October 2023 with BP (BP Pulse community within the U.S. estimated at $100 million). In November 2023, EG Group introduced the acquisition of Tesla’s electrical automobile ultra-fast chargers for its evpoint enterprise in Europe.
