Tesla has revealed that the total number of Superchargers in 2024 surpassed 11.5k through the past 12 months. The company has made this progress on the back of many major developments and reshuffled management to grow the Supercharger network.

The new Supercharger has achieved a 19% year-over-year growth, which is quite remarkable compared to the previous year. In mid-October, Tesla installed its 60,000th supercharger in Japan and in the next two months, this number increased to more than 67,000 Superchargers worldwide. Tesla now hosts more than 27,000 Superchargers in North America alone, the majority of these are used in the US.

Among these, it has introduced Superchargers in 3 new countries and more are planned to open in 2025.

The EV maker now stands as the largest charger network on the planet. EV owners can plug their vehicles into Tesla’s Supercharger network to charge at a fast speed. It can charger up to 200 miles in 15 minutes and v4 stations can go beyond that in new vehicles.

Tesla vehicle owners can route to the nearest Superchargers with a few taps on the front display. They can ease trips using the mobile app and see all of the Superchargers on their way to their destinations. While charging, these owners have the option to play games on their vehicles or enjoy music.

It is also announced that the Supercharger network delivered 5.2+ TWh, offsetting over 5.5 billion kg of CO2 and 2.4 billion liters of gasoline.

Tesla also achieved a new milestone for the entire EV industry by opening the Supercharger network to other companies. It started the year with Ford, which offered free adapters for its EVs and later expanded support for Rivian,

In 2024, NACS was adopted by GM, Volvo, Polestar, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis. However, more top EV makers announced plans to introduce vehicles with this charging standard in 2025.
