Tesla is set to open its 100th Supercharger location in Australia, marking a significant milestone in the country's electric vehicle infrastructure.The 100th Supercharger station will be located in Ballina, New South Wales.This achievement comes after a decade of Tesla building its charging network in Australia.
Tesla's Supercharger network in Australia now spans more than 1000 individual charging stalls. The network covers major highways and popular travel routes across the country.Tesla has been expanding its network to include more regional areas, improving accessibility for EV owners.The company has also been upgrading older V2 Superchargers to the faster V3 technology, which can deliver up to 250kW of power.
Tesla's Supercharger network is seen as a key factor in the company's success and in promoting EV adoption in Australia.The expansion of the Supercharger network coincides with growing EV sales in Australia, with Tesla being a market leader.
The company no longer offers free Supercharging for new vehicle purchases in Australia. The free Supercharging program was discontinued for most new Tesla owners. Occasionally, Tesla runs promotions or referral programs that can offer limited free Supercharging credits, but these are temporary. The exact rates can vary, but they are generally between $0.43 and $0.69 per kWh at Tesla Supercharging stations.
While the Supercharger network was initially exclusive to Tesla vehicles, the company has started opening it up to other EV brands in some markets, though this hasn't yet occurred in Australia.
