- Tesla is expected to open its biggest supercharging site in Australia next month.
- The Box Hill site will bring that up to 16 sites with combined 84 charging stalls by early 2023.
Tesla is expected to open its biggest supercharging site in Australia next month, with 12 of the company’s V3 Supercharging stalls currently installed in the inner-eastern Melbourne suburb of Box Hill. According to the Driven reports, works are underway to get it operational just after the new year and will feature 12 V3 stalls, making it the biggest Tesla supercharger site in Australia and the biggest EV charging complex of any kind in this country.
It’s good news for Tesla drivers in Australia, given the massive growth in Tesla numbers this year, particularly following the arrival of the famous Model Y crossover in August. The previous largest Tesla supercharger site is located in Macquarie Park in Sydney, with 10 V2 stalls. Victoria currently has 15 active Tesla supercharger sites. Also, the Box Hill site will bring that up to 16 sites with combined 84 charging stalls by early 2023.
However, it’s unclear if any of the newest sites will include the upcoming V4 superchargers, which can charge at speeds of up to 350 kW. The first site began construction in the US state of Arizona with 40 stalls in September this year. The current V3 superchargers are capped at 250 kW. Also, Tesla has 50 new sites planned for Australia in the next 18 months.
