Tesla Supercharger And Destination Charger Networks Set For Mass Expansion

Tesla has declared “charging is our priority” for 2017, announcing that owners will soon have access to more charging stations than ever.

The electric carmaker said it is gearing up for the arrival of the Model 3, and the knowledge that many more Teslas are about to hit the roads.

Tesla owners have already complained to company CEO Elon Musk about crowded Supercharging stations, where owners have previously left vehicles parked even after they are fully-charged.

These complaints prompted new rules from Tesla where ‘fines’ apply for those who treat Supercharging stations as parking lots, but the carmaker has this week acknowledged that more charging infrastructure is needed.

“Our mission [is] that charging is convenient, abundant, and reliable for all owners, current and future,” Tesla said.

“In 2017, we’ll be doubling the Tesla charging network, expanding existing sites so drivers never wait to charge, and broadening our charging locations within city centres.”
