Even after laying off most of its Supercharger team in 2024 and facing forced shutdowns on the New Jersey Turnpike, Tesla’s Supercharger network continues to grow faster than ever.
In Q1 2025 alone, Tesla added 2,200 new Supercharger stalls worldwide — a 17% year-over-year increase. It’s clear: Tesla isn’t slowing down its charging ambitions, even as internal and regulatory challenges persist.
Q1 2025 Supercharger Highlights
Here’s a quick look at Tesla’s Supercharger performance between January and March 2025:
- 2,200 new stalls added globally
- 1.4 TWh of energy delivered to EVs (up 26% YoY)
- 42 million charging sessions (up 27% YoY)
- 173 million gallons of gas saved, equivalent to 1.5 billion kg of CO₂ emissions avoided
That level of usage puts Tesla firmly at the center of global EV infrastructure, especially with more non-Tesla EVs gaining access to the Supercharger network.
NJ Turnpike Shutdowns Can’t Stop the Growth
Despite the strong performance, Tesla is being forced to shut down multiple Supercharger sites on the New Jersey Turnpike — reportedly due to issues with local authorities and service contracts.
Still, the company’s momentum hasn’t stalled. By rolling out new locations and transitioning older V2 stalls to faster V4 cabinets, Tesla is building a more powerful and accessible charging network — even while playing defense in some regions.
More Upgrades Coming: Faster Speeds, Less Waiting
Tesla has more big improvements on the way:
- 500kW Supercharging for the Cybertruck, expected in Q3 2025
- Virtual Queues to reduce wait times at busy chargers
- Upcoming Supercharger pricing updates and dynamic billing
- Continued V4 Supercharger cabinet deployments across major highways
These features aren’t just about speed — they’re about scaling the network intelligently as demand grows from both Tesla and non-Tesla EV drivers.
Why This Still Matters
Tesla delivered more charging energy in Q1 2025 than ever before — 1.4 TWh. That’s enough to:
- Drive over 4.6 billion electric miles, or
- Replace 173 million gallons of gasoline, preventing
- 1.5 billion kilograms of CO₂ emissions
Even if that’s just a fraction of global transportation emissions, it’s a sign that Tesla’s infrastructure is doing real environmental work — and doing it at scale.
