During the fourth quarter of 2023, Tesla continued to rapidly expand its Supercharging network globally, achieving its third highest quarterly result ever with 357 new stations deployed (a 10% decrease year-over-year).

6,000 Tesla Supercharging stations
At the end of 2023, the number of Tesla Supercharging stations globally exceeded 5,950. As of today, it’s almost certainly above 6,000, making it the largest EV fast charging network of its kind.
Q4 also saw an increase of 3,783 new individual connectors (up 7% year-over-year), with an average ratio of 10.6 connectors per station (compared to 9.0 a year ago).
Tesla Supercharging network – Q4’2023 results (YOY change):
- New stations: 357 (down 10%)
- New individual connectors (stalls): 3,787 (up 7%)
- Connectors (stalls) per station on average: 10.6 (up 18%)
Tesla installed over 1,270 new Supercharging stations and more than 12,400 individual stalls in 2023, both record highs.
Tesla Supercharging network – Q1-Q4’2023 results (YOY change):
- New stations: 1,274 (up 6%)
- New individual connectors (stalls): 12,473 (up 14%)
- Connectors (stalls) per station on average: 9.8 (up 8%)
When it comes to the current size of the network, it consists of roughly 6,000 stations and 55,000 individual charging stalls, nearly 30% more than a year ago.
Tesla Supercharging network – cumulative numbers (YOY change):
- New stations: 5,952 (up 27%)
- New individual connectors (stalls): 54,892 (up 29%)
- Connectors (stalls) per station on average: 9.2 (up 2%)
Tesla surpassed its 50,000th Supercharging stall milestone in September 2023 and has now exceeded 55,000.
If all 55,000+ stalls were powered simultaneously at a 100 kW average, the total output would exceed 5.5 GW.
Non-Tesla Supercharging
Tesla is also making strides in the Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot, now available in over 20 countries.
- Europe (18 countries): Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom (Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard)
- Turkey (Native compatibility with the CCS2 standard)
The latest V4 superchargers now include a contactless bank card reader and a small display to increase accessibility for non-Tesla EV drivers, reducing the need for the Tesla app to start a charging session.
Supercharging Power
Tesla Superchargers now offer a peak power output of up to 250 kW, with potential future expansion to 300 kW, and rumors of 324 kW in the case of V3 Superchargers.
In 2023, Tesla launched V4 Superchargers in Europe, with the US following suit in October, equipped with an integrated CCS1 adapter (Magic Dock), credit card reader, and small display for charging non-Tesla EVs. Tesla also has plans for electric truck chargers (Tesla Semi), known as Tesla Megachargers, offering a megawatt charging level.
Charging standards
In Q4 2022, Tesla announced the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and SAE J3400, which was adopted by several major car manufacturers and charging networks. Tesla also started retrofitting its chargers in North America with an integrated CCS1 adapter and invested in CCS2-compatible plugs in Europe, Asia, and other regions, enabling compatibility with a wider range of EVs.
Sales of chargers to other networks
Tesla made an interesting move in late 2023, entering into a sales agreement with BP and EG Group for its electric vehicle ultra-fast chargers, marking a paradigm shift in the industry.
