Tesla Supercharger network is to be doubled

D erzeit Tesla maintains 842 supercharger stations worldwide with 5,431 charging spaces as well as around 9,000 so-called destination chargers in parking lots in hotels and restaurants. By the end of 2017, this network is to be almost doubled to 10,000 superchargers and 15,000 destination chargers.

In North America alone, the network is expected to grow by 150%, and 1,000 new charging stations are planned for California. The company did not announce how many new charging points are planned in Germany.
