Tesla Supercharger Network: 7 North America Changes This Week

Seven Supercharger station changes hit the North America map this week, according to data tracked by supercharge.info. The mix spans every stage of the pipeline — from fresh planning filings to newly opened stalls — giving a useful snapshot of where Tesla's charging infrastructure is heading in the near term.

How many stations changed status this week?

Seven in total across North America. The breakdown: 3 stations moved to OPEN, 2 entered the PLAN stage, 1 received a PERMIT filing, and 1 existing station is EXPANDING. It's a fairly typical weekly cadence — a blend of new sites entering the pipeline and previously announced locations finally cutting the ribbon.

Which stations are now open and ready to use?

Three locations flipped to OPEN this week. Compton, CA and Glen Burnie, MD are both now live for Tesla owners in those areas. The third opening is notable for a different reason: Moore, OK is listed under the Francis Energy banner — a non-Tesla charging operator — signaling continued expansion of the NACS-compatible network beyond Tesla-owned infrastructure. If you're routing through any of these areas, they're worth adding to your trip planner now.

What does PLAN status actually mean — and when will those stations open?

PLAN means Tesla (or a partner) has identified the site and begun the early-stage process: securing land agreements, scoping electrical capacity, and initiating local permitting conversations. Two sites entered this stage this week — Fulton, MS and Madison, WI (S Gammon Rd). There's no fixed timeline attached to a PLAN filing; some sites move through to OPEN in under a year, others stall for much longer depending on utility work and local approvals. Think of PLAN as "confirmed interest," not a construction start.

What's the difference between PERMIT and PLAN?

PERMIT is a step further along. It means a formal application has been submitted to the local authority — building permits, electrical permits, or both. The Dalles, OR (W 6th St) reached this stage this week. Once a permit is issued and construction begins, stations typically reach OPEN status within a few months, though supply chain and contractor availability can shift that window.

Which station is expanding, and what does that involve?

Evergreen Park, IL is the expanding location this week. An EXPANDING designation means an existing Supercharger site is adding stalls — either to handle higher demand or to upgrade older V2 hardware to V3 or V4 stalls. Expansions are often less visible than new openings but matter a lot in congested metro areas where queue times are a real friction point for owners.

How can owners track these changes in real time?

The most reliable public tracker is supercharge.info, which aggregates status changes as they're logged. Tesla's own in-car navigation and the Tesla app also reflect new OPEN stations, though there can be a short lag between a station going live and appearing in the app. For trip planning ahead of a station's official opening, supercharge.info's PLAN and PERMIT listings give the earliest signal of what's coming to a given corridor.

The Francis Energy opening in Moore, OK is the detail worth watching beyond this week's routine movement. Third-party operators listing under NACS-compatible infrastructure are gradually filling rural and secondary-market gaps that Tesla's own network has been slower to reach — a trend that should continue to benefit owners who travel outside major metro corridors. Keep an eye on charging news as more partner openings filter through the tracker in the weeks ahead.
