Tesla Expands Supercharger Network in Recent Month, Catering to Non-Tesla Electric Vehicles as Well
In recent weeks, Tesla has been aggressively expanding its Supercharger network across Australia, aiming to address charging gaps and improve convenience on busy travel corridors and less-served regions. This expansion is part of a strategic, data-driven approach by Tesla, as the company continues to lead the electric vehicle (EV) market in the country.
Riz Akhtar, a mechanical engineer and the founder of carloop, a company specializing in Australian EV data, insight reports, and trends, is one individual who is excited about this development. Akhtar, who drives a red Tesla Model 3, shares a passion for cars, particularly EVs, and wants to help reduce transport emissions in Australia.
The expansion includes the opening of several new charging sites. On May 16, the first of these sites went live in Armidale, New South Wales, featuring a 4-stall V4 supercharger. This was followed by another site in Batemans Bay, NSW, which opened on May 22, boasting a 6-stall V4 supercharger. Each stall at these new sites can deliver up to 250 kW of charging power, benefiting both Tesla and non-Tesla drivers, thanks to the longer cables at these V4 superchargers.
The Campbellfield site, another 6-stall V3 Supercharger, also opened in May, while the Goulburn site, Australia's biggest fast charging site with 20 V4 supercharger stalls, is expected to open imminently. In total, Tesla plans to add another 30 locations across the country, with over a dozen sites still in the works.
The Goulburn site, once operational, is expected to welcome hundreds of EV drivers every month. As of May 31, 2025, there are 119 Tesla supercharger sites in Australia with over 700 bays.
Tesla's Supercharger network in Australia is currently the largest in the country, with over 2,800 stations as part of the Asia Pacific region's total of around 7,500 stations worldwide. The company's focus on strategic expansion is reflected in the introduction of the 20-bay mega Supercharger station, marking a major investment to boost long-range travel viability within Australia.
Despite limited public disclosures on other specific upcoming Australian locations, ongoing network growth and infrastructure upgrades are expected to continue based on strategic data insights applied by Tesla. This strategic approach is aimed at improving EV charging accessibility and reducing range anxiety, ensuring a smoother transition to a more sustainable future for transportation in Australia.
- Riz Akhtar, a mechanical engineer and the founder of carloop, a company specializing in Australian EV data, insight reports, and trends, is optimistic about the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia, given the aggressive expansion of Tesla's Supercharger network, which caters to both Tesla and non-Tesla drivers.
- With the introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) and the expansion of Tesla's Supercharger network, Riz Akhtar, who drives a red Tesla Model 3, shares a belief that this shift towards a more sustainable lifestyle, powered by technology, will significantly reduce transport emissions in Australia.
