Tesla has made a significant move by opening its northernmost Supercharger in Fairbanks, Alaska. This Supercharger station, equipped with eight V4 stalls, is located in one of the coldest cities in the U.S. Fairbanks, situated just 196 miles from the Arctic Circle, experiences an average temperature of around -12 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite the frigid weather, there is a high demand for more charging options for Tesla owners in Alaska.
With only 36 Supercharger stalls in the entire state of Alaska, the addition of eight stalls in Fairbanks is a welcome development. This new station is part of a larger plan to eventually have a 48-stall station in the area. Tesla announced the activation of the Fairbanks Supercharger recently, marking a milestone for the region.
The base price per kWh at the Fairbanks Supercharger is $0.43. Thanks to its V4 capabilities, this station can charge at speeds of up to 325 kW. While Fairbanks is home to the northernmost Supercharger in North America, it does not rank among the top five northernmost Superchargers globally. Surprisingly, Alaska is actually south of Norway, where the northernmost Supercharger is located in Honningsvåg. The top five northernmost Superchargers are all situated in Norway.
In 2025, Tesla has made impressive strides in its Supercharger expansion efforts. Despite some early-quarter slowdowns due to hardware transitions from V3 to V4, this year has been the company’s strongest for deployments. Tesla has added 7,753 stations and 73,817 stalls worldwide, representing a 16 percent increase in stations and an 18 percent increase in stalls compared to the previous year. The company is on track to add over 12,000 stalls by the end of the year, averaging one new stall every hour.
One notable recent achievement for Tesla is the completion of its Supercharger Oasis in Lost Hills, California. This 168-stall Supercharger station is the largest in the world and is entirely powered by Tesla Solar Panels. The company’s commitment to expanding its Supercharger network and promoting sustainable energy solutions is evident in projects like the Lost Hills Supercharger.
In conclusion, Tesla’s northernmost Supercharger in North America opening in Fairbanks, Alaska, is a significant milestone for the company and the region. With plans for further expansion and a focus on sustainability, Tesla continues to lead the way in the electric vehicle industry.
