BREAKING: Tesla has just announced a major milestone, reaching 75,000 Supercharger stalls worldwide, with the landmark installation located in South Hobart, Tasmania. This significant achievement comes as the company continues to expand its electric vehicle infrastructure globally, enhancing accessibility for EV drivers.
The latest Supercharger stall, positioned at the South Hobart Smart Store at 12 Cascade Road, South Hobart, TAS 7004, is equipped with four of Tesla’s latest Supercharger V4 units. These chargers feature longer cables and improved payment options, making them more user-friendly for all electric vehicles. Local Tesla enthusiast Gerard Wood was present during the launch, capturing the moment with his Canon EOS R3 camera.
The timing of this announcement is crucial for Tasmanian EV owners and tourists exploring the island state. With EV adoption rates in Tasmania outpacing the national average, the addition of this facility signifies Tesla’s commitment to supporting the growing demand for electric vehicles in Australia.
Network Growth: The achievement of 75,000 stalls comes just months after Tesla reached 50,000 in September 2023 and 60,000 in November 2024. This rapid expansion reflects Tesla’s aggressive strategy to enhance its charging network worldwide. The significance of hosting a milestone stall in Australia highlights the country’s pivotal role in Tesla’s global strategy.
For those in South Hobart, this new stall not only marks a major achievement but also presents an opportunity to charge your vehicle at competitive rates. Tesla owners will pay approximately $0.69 per kWh, while non-Tesla drivers will be charged around $0.85 per kWh. Interestingly, non-Tesla drivers can access the lower rate by purchasing a monthly Supercharging Membership through the Tesla app.
This milestone was shared by Tesla via its official Charging account on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing the new Glacier Blue Supercharger, a nod to the brand’s iconic color scheme. As the network continues to grow, Tesla remains focused on enhancing the user experience for all electric vehicle owners.
What’s Next? As Tesla continues to expand its Supercharger network, the focus will likely shift to increasing accessibility in less-served regions. With EV adoption on the rise, especially in Tasmania and other Australian states, the future looks promising for electric vehicle infrastructure.
