See How Many Tesla Superchargers Each State Has

Ten years ago, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) had only 30 Supercharger stations in the United States. Only the Interstate 5 highway along the west coast had a reliable long-distance chain of these quick-charge stations.

How many Tesla Superchargers are there in every US state?

Today, there are nearly 2,000 of Tesla’s fast-charging stations with more than 22,000 charging ports in the U.S. As recently as Oct. 18, several more stations – from densely populated Florida to the wide expanse of Montana – were added to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center.

What a difference a decade makes.

Tesla Supercharger network opens up

Tesla’s Supercharger network is so ahead of the game that it’s in the process of opening its network to other electric car models produced by companies like Ford (NYSE: F) and Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN).

California, Texas, and Florida, have about a third of Tesla Supercharger stations and 42% of all ports. More than half of the network is in the ten most populated states. How many Tesla Supercharger are there in a state shows that Tesla is prioritizing some states over others.

For instance, Nevada, with a population of 3.1 million people, has 36 Tesla Supercharger stations while Oklahoma with a population of nearly 4 million has only six of them.

Because of Nevada’s proximity to California, Tesla’s largest market, it makes sense for Tesla to prioritize it. Oklahoma, which in 2020 lost its bid to Texas for the first Tesla Cybertruck plant, has been slow to embrace EVs or alternative-fuel infrastructure. “When it comes to electric vehicles on the road, Oklahoma has catching up to do,” wrote the Oklahoman newspaper in May.

States with fewer than 10 Tesla Superchargers

Eleven states and the District of Columbia have fewer than 10 Tesla Supercharger stations. Out of the 10 largest states by population, Michigan has the fewest number of Supercharger stations to quickly charge a Tesla inside the company’s network.

The home to the big three U.S. Automakers has only 34 Tesla Supercharger stations, just two more than Wisconsin, which has a much smaller population.
