Concerning general condition network, then at the moment the map of stations operating and planned for opening is as follows:
Map of fast charging stations in North America
The most extensive Tesla Supercharger network is located in this region, which, however, is not surprising given the origin of the company and the fact that the United States is the main sales region for Tesla electric vehicles.
Map of fast charging stations in Europe
The second largest region of the network, in which the number of stations varies depending on the development of the electric car market of a particular state.
Map of fast charging stations in Asia
Another large region with a developed infrastructure from Tesla, in which China and Japan are leading in the growth of the number of superchargers.
Tesla Supercharger in Ukraine
The company plans to open two outlets with Tesla superchargers in Ukraine. They will be located on the key highway of the country, at such a distance as to cover the path connecting the western border of the state with the capital.
Tesla Supercharger - brief information about the network
The charging station network developed by Tesla was created specifically for ultra-fast charging of all models of the company. Initially, it was assumed that most Tesla owners would charge their electric cars at home at night, when electricity rates are lower, and the presented network will come in handy if long-distance trips are planned.
Network charging complexes allow you to charge the battery of Tesla electric vehicles in 20 minutes up to 50%, in 40 minutes up to 80% and in 75 minutes up to 100%. For example, at home, charging up to 100% of the battery capacity with a 75-90 kWh battery, with a charger power of 11 kW and a three-phase connection, would take about 8 hours, but from a conventional 3 kW outlet, the process will go even slower and takes 4 times longer.
Today, Tesla owns the largest network of "fast" chargers in the world, even though virtually every one of the company's electric car owners has a claim on a route that is not covered by superchargers. At the same time, it cannot be said that they have the same right to complain as the owners of electric cars of other brands. At this moment Tesla Supercharger network is one of best benefits companies compared to all competitors who make electric vehicles and rely on other networks with their rates also rapidly evolving, but not as optimized for users of specific electric vehicles. Another advantage of the Tesla Supercharger is that the network was not launched as a profitable enterprise, but only as an infrastructure for long-distance travel and funds complementary to the company's automotive business.
In the picture below, an invention that will forever change the world automotive industry, and perhaps the message of the world as a whole. Unique high-speed gas stations, which are very actively built by a Californian company TESLA Motors around the world quickly and safely charge modern cars absolutely free.
Nobody could believe it until yesterday. Today, one such gas station is quietly working close to home. How is it arranged?
To begin with, this is no ordinary electric car charger. TESLA Supercharger These are ultra-fast charging stations that were created for TESLA Model S cars, as well as the TESLA Model S SUV going on sale in 2015. It is possible that the stations will also charge the budget TESLA 3, which is expected on the market in 2017 at a price of $ 35,000.
Over the past 2 years, TESLA Motors has already opened 453 such gas stations around the world, with a total number of terminals (columns) of more than 2500. So what is the difference from traditional gas stations for electric cars, which are located everywhere in California?
There are two main differences. It's hard to believe, but charging at the SUPERCHARGER station is absolutely free for the entire life of the TESLA Model S. A few years ago, potential buyers and owners who charged their TESLA at home with chargers asked a reasonable question: how to go to TESLA car on a long trip?
Then the owner and founder of the company announced the start of building a global network of free high-speed gas stations, which will be located along all major highways, at a distance of at least 80% of the charge from each other, and kept his word. Already today on TESLA it is possible to travel across all America.
Second TESLA feature Supercharger is a charging speed that is up to 16 times faster than traditional electric vehicle stations. According to the manufacturer, this cable produces up to 120 kW and supplies current directly to the battery, instead of the traditional charging circuit.
Charging the battery to half takes about 20 minutes.
The owner of this car said that he often comes to this shopping mall, who has a TESLA Supercharger in the parking lot, as electricity is provided free of charge and his car is fully charged while he is shopping or drinking coffee.
According to him, a 100% charge can be obtained in less than an hour and a half, while his home Charger allows you to fully charge the car in 8 hours, that is, overnight. Note that you cannot buy SUPERCHARGER at home. Only standard portable chargers are intended for the home. Below on dashboard it can be seen that on the current charge the car can already travel about 190 miles (300 km), and there are still 50 minutes left until the end of the process.
On this moment Tesla has sold over 70,000 vehicles worldwide. It's so much that SUPERCHARGER stations there are always queues. In this regard, the company even began to ask the owners to use the stations only during long trips, and in regular time charge cars at home. The largest market is of course the USA (43,000 units), and the largest market outside of America is the northern country of Norway, where 7,500 cars are already running. In september 2013 TESLA model S even became the best-selling car in this country among all brands in general. This is the first time this has happened to electric vehicles. In 2013, in the US, Tesla sold 18,000 vehicles and outsold all traditional luxury brands: Mercedes S Class (13,303 units), BMW 7 Series (10,932 units), Lexus LS (10,727 units), Audi A8 (6300 units), Porsche Panamera (5421 units).

TESLA has sold over 70,000 vehicles worldwide so far. This is so much that there are always queues at SUPERCHARGER stations. In this regard, the company even began to ask owners to use the stations only during long trips, and at normal times to charge cars at home. The largest market is of course the USA (43,000 units), while the largest market outside America is the northern country of Norway, where 7,500 vehicles are already running.

Against the backdrop of this technology traditional cars look completely archaic. Once, in an interview with The New Yorker magazine, General Motors Vice President Robert Lutz stated: “All the smart people here at General Motors kept saying that you need to wait at least ten years before the perfect lithium-ion battery. And Toyota engineers agreed with us. And then - BAM, out of nowhere came TESLA. And I asked everyone then - why a microscopic Californian start-up, led by guys who don’t know anything about the car business, could do this, and we couldn’t? It was like a crowbar, who helped push through a long-stalled idea."
