Tesla Supercharger: 2,200 new charging points in Q1 2025

Are you often on the road with your Tesla and reliant on fast charging? Then you'll surely be pleased that the Tesla Supercharger network has grown significantly in the first quarter of 2025! With 2,200 new charging points worldwide, Tesla continues its expansion despite challenges like team cutbacks. Here you'll learn how the network is developing and what European drivers can expect from the innovations.

Strong Growth: The Numbers in Focus

In Q1 2025, Tesla made impressive progress:

2,200 new Supercharger charging points worldwide, a 17% growth compared to the previous year.
1.4 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy delivered, an increase of 26%.
42 million charging sessions, an increase of 27%, establishing Tesla as the leading standard for electric car charging.

These numbers correspond to a saving of around 657 million liters of gasoline and a reduction of 1.5 billion kilograms of CO₂. For European drivers, this shows that Tesla's network is not only growing but also actively contributing to environmental protection.

V4 Charging Points: Faster Charging in Europe

Tesla is replacing older V2 charging points with modern V4 Superchargers, offering up to 325 kW of power – with plans for 500 kW by Q3 2025, initially for the Cybertruck. In Europe, where V4 charging points have been rolled out since 2023, drivers benefit from longer cables and CCS2 compatibility, which also supports non-Tesla vehicles. For you, this means shorter charging times and more flexibility, especially at busy locations.

New Features: Virtual Queues

Tesla is introducing virtual queues to reduce wait times at overloaded Superchargers. Instead of physically queuing, you can register digitally and will be notified when a charging point is available. Additionally, Tesla plans changes to pricing to manage usage more efficiently. For European drivers who often charge at highways like the A9 or A7, this is a big advantage: less stress and better planning on long journeys.

Challenges: NJ Turnpike and Team Cutbacks

Despite the success, there were setbacks. In the US, some Supercharger locations along the New Jersey Turnpike have to close, limiting local availability. Additionally, Tesla cut a large part of the Supercharger team in 2024, slowing expansion in Q2 2024 (only 2,017 new charging points). Nonetheless, Q1 2025 shows that Tesla is back on track. For Europe, where the network is well-developed with over 1,300 stations (as of January 2025), these US challenges are less noticeable.

Outlook: What's Coming in 2025?

Tesla plans to maintain the pace of over 2,000 new charging points per quarter, which means more density and faster charging times. In Europe, where Superchargers are located at sites like Køge (Denmark) equipped with solar canopies and battery storage, the focus will be on sustainability and non-Tesla usage. By the end of 2025, the 500-kW V4 charging points could also be tested here. For you, this means: More comfort and availability, whether you drive a Tesla or another electric car.

Conclusion: Supercharger network on course for success

The Tesla Supercharger network is growing rapidly, with 2,200 new charging points in Q1 2025 and a clear focus on fast charging and sustainability. For European Tesla drivers, this means more range, shorter charging times, and new features like virtual queues. Despite challenges in the USA, Tesla remains the benchmark for electric car charging.
