The Supercharger network in 2026, region by region

80,000 stalls passed in early April, 241 new sites in Q2, and the folding V4 format introduced to Europe in June — mapped against where a charging reward is spendable.

The network passed 80,000 stalls in early April 2026, added 241 sites in the second quarter, and gained a folding V4 format in Europe from June. On a site where most buyers' rewards are denominated in distance, that is an input to the reward's value rather than infrastructure trivia. Dated 2 September 2026.

Why coverage is an input

A software trial works identically wherever an owner lives. A charging allowance is only spendable where stalls sit within reach of driving that was going to happen anyway — and it expires six months from the Grant Date. So the reward's realised value is decided by geography and habit, not by the programme.

The 2026 build-out, by region

Converting a reward into stops

Roughly 2,000 km at ordinary consumption is about 300–360 kWh, or eight to twelve Supercharger sessions of the size people actually take. The UK's roughly 650 miles is about four to six. Across six months, both are easy in principle and forgotten in practice.

Faster stalls help, counter-intuitively

The binding constraint on spending an allowance is rarely appetite — it is hours willing to be spent plugged in. A V4 stop that takes fifteen minutes instead of forty is a stop that fits into an ordinary week, which raises the number of sessions that actually happen inside the window.

What open access does not do

Make a reward portable. An allowance is drawn down by a Tesla authenticating at the stall before any payment method is touched; a non-Tesla authenticates through its own account, which cannot see a Tesla balance. Two systems, one of which is blind to the other.

Why a directory tracks stalls at all

Because for most of the world's referred buyers the reward is charging, and a charging reward is the only benefit in this programme whose value depends on infrastructure. A software trial is delivered over the air and works the same in a city or a village. An allowance measured in kilometres is delivered by driving to a specific place, repeatedly, inside six months — so stall density is not colour for this section, it is the denominator of the reward's realised value.

The only figure that matters locally

Whether anything opened on the roads you actually drive. A national or global stall count aggregates markets with wildly different densities, and no published figure answers the local question. Open the map, look at your own routes, and count — then check your market's reward on its country page.
