📌 UPDATE — April 3, 2026
Tesla's 80,000th Supercharger stall has now been officially confirmed and located: it's part of a newly expanded 48-stall station in Saint-Saturnin, France, complete with solar canopies and restrooms. Beyond the stall count milestone, Tesla revealed its global Supercharger network is now delivering a staggering 20 GWh of energy every single day — underscoring just how central the network has become to daily EV charging worldwide. The announcement was first reported by @SawyerMerritt on X.
The News: Tesla's global Supercharger network has officially crossed 80,000 individual stalls, with the milestone marked at the expanded Saint-Saturnin station in France.
Why It Matters: More stalls mean shorter waits and longer range confidence for every Tesla owner — and the network is growing faster than ever, with ~2,500 new stalls added in Q1 2026 alone.

Tesla Supercharger Network Hits 80,000 Stalls — Milestone Marked in France
Tesla's Supercharger network just crossed a landmark threshold: 80,000 individual charging stalls worldwide. The honor of hosting the 80,000th stall went to Saint-Saturnin, a small commune just north of Le Mans in northwestern France — now home to one of Europe's most capable Supercharger sites.
📊 Key Figures
| Metric | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Total Stalls (Global) | 80,018 | As of April 1, 2026 |
| End of 2025 Stalls | 77,682 | +2,336 in Q1 2026 |
| Q1 2026 New Stalls | ~2,500 | +19% year-over-year |
| Saint-Saturnin Stalls | 48 | 250kW CCS, +28 added |
| V4 Supercharger Power | 500kW | V3 production ended Mar 16 |
| Total Stations (Global) | 8,182+ | DC fast-charging locations |
The Station That Made History
Saint-Saturnin isn't a random pick. The site was already an established Supercharger location before Tesla expanded it by 28 stalls — bringing the total to 48 x 250kW CCS chargers. The expansion also added solar power generation and restroom facilities on-site, making it a proper pit-stop destination rather than just a charging waypoint.
The location — just north of Le Mans, a city synonymous with endurance driving — carries a certain symbolic weight for a charging network built around the idea that range anxiety should be a thing of the past.
The station is open 24/7 and is compatible with both Tesla vehicles and non-Tesla EVs with CCS connectors — a sign of how far Tesla's open-network strategy has come since it first unlocked Superchargers to other brands.

🔭 The BASENOR Take
| Timeline | 80,000 stalls reached April 2026 — up from 77,682 at end of 2025 |
| Impact Level | 🟢 High — directly benefits every Tesla owner and CCS-compatible EV driver |
| Confidence | ✅ Confirmed — official @TeslaCharging announcement |
The 80,000-stall milestone is more than a round number. It reflects a network that is growing faster in 2026 than it did in 2025 — a 19% year-over-year increase in Q1 alone. At that pace, Tesla is on track to add well over 10,000 stalls in 2026, which would bring the total close to 90,000 by year-end.
The timing of the V3-to-V4 transition is also significant context here. Tesla's Gigafactory New York stopped producing V3 Supercharger cabinets on March 16, 2026, with the V4 line now ramping. V4 cabinets support up to 500kW — double the power ceiling of V3 — and are compatible with 800-volt vehicle architectures. Each V4 cabinet can serve up to eight stalls. That means future expansion isn't just about more stalls; it's about meaningfully faster charging at each one.
For owners in Europe specifically, this milestone underscores Tesla's continued commitment to the continent. France now hosts one of the network's flagship sites, and the inclusion of solar infrastructure at Saint-Saturnin signals a push toward more sustainable Supercharger deployments — a detail that matters as regulatory pressure on charging infrastructure's carbon footprint increases across the EU.
The open-network angle is worth watching too. Saint-Saturnin is explicitly listed as compatible with non-Tesla CCS vehicles. As more of the 80,000-stall network becomes accessible to all EVs, Tesla's charging infrastructure becomes a revenue-generating asset independent of vehicle sales — a strategic shift that could have long-term implications for how Tesla is valued as a company.
