A milestone for Tesla fast-charging: the Supercharger network has notched up its 1000th stall in the UK 🔌
Elon Musk announced the trial in 2021 and it rolled out first in the Netherlands – but now Tesla has added Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Austria and the UK.
Tesla’s chargers are already a common sight in service stations and car parks across the UK, and the company says there are now more than 30,000 charging points and in excess of 3000 stations worldwide. The Supercharger network is one of the main reasons that Tesla electric car ownership has been so viable, even for early adopters; it works seamlessly and hasn’t suffered from the reliability issues that some other networks are notorious for.
continues to rise as energy prices keep climbing, Tesla does at least show how to make it as convenient as possible.V3 Supercharging uses the same principle as Tesla’s previous Superchargers, but adds a 1MW power cabinet to the equation. That means 250kW peak charging rates per car, with Tesla saying a Long Range Model 3 can theoretically top up 75 miles of range in just five minutes.
The UK’s first V3 Superchargers were installed at Park Royal in London in 2019, using CCS cables that have become the norm on other high-speed charging networks. These can plug into the Model 3 and Model Y directly, while the Model S and Model X are supplied with adaptors. As a result the latter pair will only enjoy maximum charging rates of around 145kW.Alongside the infrastructure upgrades with V3, Tesla has also rolled out an over-the-air update called On-Route Battery Warm-up.
