Tesla CEO Elon Musk says “almost all” Supercharger stations will eventually disconnect from the grid.
Musk made the comment on Twitter in response to a tweet pointing out that Superchargers utilize energy from traditional fossil fuels like coal.
All Superchargers are being converted to solar/battery power. Over time, almost all will disconnect from the electricity grid.

Musk notes that all Superchargers are being converted to solar/battery power. Images released earlier this year alongside the announcement of a major Supercharger network expansion featured large solar carports, a glimpse of what to expect.
While Supercharger expansion is currently in full swing, Musk did not offer a timeline for those stations to disconnect from the grid.
