Tesla expands its network of Supercharger stations in the last month, making them available for a variety of electric vehicles, not just Tesla models
Tesla Expands Supercharger Network in Australia, Aiming for Greener Transport
In a significant move towards a greener future, Tesla's Supercharger network in Australia continues to grow, with the number of sites reaching 122 and the total number of charging bays (stalls) approaching 740 as of mid-2025.
At the heart of this expansion is Riz Akhtar, the founder of carloop, a mechanical engineer with a passion for cars, particularly electric vehicles (EVs), and a mission to help reduce transport emissions in Australia. Prior to carloop, Riz spent seven years building transport infrastructure.
One of the latest additions to the network is a 12-bay Supercharger station at New Italy, NSW, featuring Tesla's V4 250 kW Superchargers. This site, equipped with the largest solar canopy in Australia (80 kW), can provide an 80% charge in about 30 minutes. Another notable expansion includes the opening of a 6-stall V4 supercharger site in Batemans Bay, NSW, and a 6-stall V3 Supercharger site in Campbellfield, Victoria.
The Goulburn site, located in the popular town of Goulburn, is expected to be the largest fast charging site in Australia once completed, with 20 charging stalls. This site, under construction as of now, is anticipated to welcome hundreds of EV drivers every month.
Tesla's network strategy includes integrating solar canopies at select sites to enhance renewable energy usage. Plans for more solar canopy installations, especially in Queensland locations such as Tully and Cairns, are underway. Additionally, Tesla is opening certain Supercharger sites to non-Tesla EVs in cooperation with government programs, broadening access to fast charging infrastructure.
The addition of these new sites contributes to the major expansion of Australia's most reliable charging network. Three new charging sites with a total of 16 fast-chargers opened in May 2025 alone. The Campbellfield site, located near the main Western Ring Road and Hume Highway, is one such example. Each stall at the new supercharger sites delivers up to 250 kW of charging power.
Tesla remains the top-selling EV brand in the Australian market, and its Supercharger network growth reflects this dominance. As the number of EVs in Australia continues to grow, Tesla's expansion ensures more reliable and fast charging options for the increasing EV population. This expansion is complemented by government partnerships and infrastructure co-funding.
In summary, Tesla's Supercharger network in Australia stands as a testament to the company's commitment to a greener future. With ongoing and planned expansions, including larger stations like the upcoming Goulburn site, and innovative renewable energy integrations such as solar canopies at multiple locations, Tesla is set to continue leading the charge in the Australian EV market.
- Riz Akhtar, the founder of carloop with a passion for electric vehicles (EVs), sees the growth of Tesla's Supercharger network in Australia as an opportunity to promote the use of EVs and reduce transport emissions.
- As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia grows, the expansion of Tesla's Supercharger network, featuring the latest V4 250 kW Superchargers and solar canopy integration at select sites, provides more reliable and fast charging options, reflecting Tesla's dominance in the Australian EV market.
