Tesla has introduced a new Supercharging feature that will greatly benefit drivers who haul or tow with their electric vehicles. This latest addition to Tesla’s Supercharger network comes as a response to the increasing number of EV drivers, especially with the introduction of electric trucks from various manufacturers.
As Tesla’s Supercharger network continues to expand with over 6,700 locations globally and more than 62,400 individual connectors, it has become essential to improve the charging experience for all EV drivers. With the rise of electric trucks that require additional space for hauling and towing, Tesla has recognized the need for specialized stalls to accommodate these vehicles.
To address this need, Tesla is rolling out a new feature that will identify Supercharger locations with trailer-compatible parking spaces. These spots will automatically appear on the map when the vehicle is in Tow Mode, making it easier for drivers to locate suitable charging stations for their specific needs.
According to Tesla’s Release Notes for the feature, “You can now see if a Supercharger has trailer-compatible spaces. Tap a Supercharger location pin on the map to see if it is trailer-friendly. If your vehicle is in Tow Mode, trailer-friendly Supercharger locations will appear at the top of the list.”
This new feature will be a game-changer for drivers who rely on their Teslas for hauling and towing. By having access to information about trailer-compatible Supercharger locations, drivers can better plan their trips and avoid arriving at charging stations that are not equipped to handle their vehicles and additional cargo.
Overall, Tesla’s commitment to enhancing the Supercharging experience for all EV drivers, including those who haul or tow, demonstrates the company’s dedication to supporting the growing electric vehicle market. With this new feature, Tesla is making it easier for drivers to charge their vehicles conveniently and efficiently, further promoting the adoption of electric vehicles in the transportation industry.
