Tesla Supercharger
In short
A global network of high-speed electric vehicle charging stations owned and operated by Tesla, Inc. As of 1 October 2026, the network includes over 85,000 connectors across more than 9,000 stations.
In plain words
These are special plugs that charge electric cars very quickly. They are spread all over the world so drivers can take long trips without running out of power. Most are found in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
A simple example
A driver travelling from London to Edinburgh can stop at a Supercharger station to add significant battery range in just a few minutes.
Why it matters
Fast charging reduces the time people spend waiting, making electric cars practical for long-distance travel. The massive scale of the network helps reduce anxiety about finding power on the road.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse Superchargers with standard home wallbox chargers, which are much slower.
