During the third quarter, Tesla opened an additional 2,800 Supercharger stalls, representing a year-over-year network growth of 23%. With these results, industry watchers estimate that Tesla has likely built almost 62,400 Superchargers worldwide so far. The impact is significant as it showcases Tesla’s commitment to expanding its infrastructure amidst any challenges that had been thrown their way.
The Tesla Supercharger Network also delivered 1.4 TWh of energy during the third quarter, a 27% year-over-year growth. This enabled Tesla owners to save over 150 million gallons of gasoline, offsetting more than 3 billion pounds of CO2. Such growth not only highlights Tesla's performance but also its contribution to reducing carbon emissions, emphasizing the environmental benefits of electric vehicle adoption.
Max de Zegher, Tesla's Director of Charging, expressed admiration for the team's efforts, stating he is extremely 'Impressed by what the hyper-focused team is pulling off.' This sentiment reflects the dedication and focus within Tesla, suggesting that despite challenges, the Supercharger Network's growth remains a high priority.
Earlier this year, there was notable panic in the EV community when reports emerged stating that Musk had laid off the majority of the Supercharger team. This raised concerns among Tesla watchers about the future of a network considered one of the company’s biggest strengths, highlighting the perceived importance of the Supercharger Network to both Tesla's brand and operations.
