Tesla has achieved a significant milestone in the expansion of its Supercharger network, setting a new quarterly record by opening 4,000 new stalls worldwide in Q3 2025. This marks the largest increase in the company’s history and underscores Tesla’s commitment to bolstering EV charging infrastructure as adoption of electric vehicles accelerates.
The news of this achievement was shared by the official @TeslaCharging account on X, which posted updated network growth stats for the quarter. Tesla’s global Supercharger network saw an 18% year-over-year growth, highlighting the company’s continued focus on expanding its charging network to meet the increasing demand.
One of the highlights of the record-breaking quarter was the launch of Tesla’s first-ever 500 kW, fully V4 Supercharger site in Redwood City, California, on September 29. Unlike previous upgrades that only replaced charging posts with newer V4 designs, the Redwood City installation also features brand-new V4 Supercharger cabinets. These V4 cabinets can support up to eight stalls, double the capacity of V3, with three times the power density and lower deployment costs, paving the way for faster and more affordable rollouts in the future.
In addition to expanding its physical infrastructure, Tesla has also been exploring new ways to raise awareness of its charging network. Recently, the company started advertising Superchargers on highway signs for the first time, signaling a shift towards treating its network as a competitive advantage not only for Tesla owners but also for the growing number of non-Tesla EV drivers who can now utilize the network.
The demand for Supercharging continues to rise alongside Tesla’s vehicle sales, with the company reporting 54 million charging sessions globally in Q3, a 31% year-over-year increase. Tesla’s network delivered 1.8 TWh of energy during the quarter, saving the equivalent of 842 million liters of gasoline.
Tesla’s rapid expansion of its charging network comes at a time when competition in the EV market is intensifying. However, with the introduction of faster V4 hardware and increased visibility through highway signage, Tesla appears well-positioned to maintain its lead in providing a seamless and efficient charging experience for EV drivers.
