Tesla Supercharger network

Not so super

And this is why Tesla's Superchargers are a huge competitive advantage: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-re...rip-to-amsterdam-what-could-possibly-go-wrong

It would make for such a boring article if he drove a Tesla, that it wouldn't get published.

Looks like Houston/Beaumont is on the Tesla map but not yet found for the Supercharger.info details. Anyone seen anything ?

And another one up around Mammoth Lake area....

As we near the end of the 3rd Quarter, I thought it'd be a good time to post updates of some of my charts. Also, with the addition of the Grand Rapids Supercharger, Michigan has become less of an outlier on the charts based on vehicle miles driven.

Supercharger Progress (by quarter)
The bars represent new locations opening, and the lines are cumulative totals. Note that while there's a somewhat disconcerting drop-off in Q1/Q2 of this year, there was a similar drop last year, followed by a rebound, so perhaps there's a pattern developing and we'll see a rebound in Q3/Q4. This is a little clearer in the 2nd chart, which shows worldwide installation rates.

Stalls Per Station (by State)
No major changes here, though I did re-sort by number of stations (descending) after sorting by Stalls Per Station. The overall average went up to 6.4 stalls, and I added an average number of stations per state.

Vehicle Miles (billions) per Supercharger and per Stall (by State)
This is still my favorite way to slice the data, as I think it best represents where Tesla should be focusing their efforts for the long term, in order to address travel needs for the broader car-buying public. In the near term, certain states will remain outliers in this regard because of their higher EV/Tesla uptake rate (i.e. California, Oregon) or their geographic proximity to those states (i.e. Utah, Montana)

As usual nice work !!

Michigan will move to the right quite a bit soon with

Grand Rapids, MI (already online! per Supercharger - Grand Rapids, MI)
Ann Arbor, MI (pedestals in place, coming soon)



Tennessee will move to the right in about 5 days as Nashville, TN is about to come online.


That'll leave Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas on the far left.

I don't know of anything coming in Penn or SC but for Texas we have

Denton, TX construction to start in July, maybe open in August?


too many on the 2015 map that we don't know the status on to bother with the other states near the left side of the table.

There is a supercharger currently under construction at a service center in Houston (not yet entered on supercharge.info).

This data includes Grand Rapids, but not Ann Arbor, so Michigan will indeed move to the right, but not by that much. Should land between Arkansas and Iowa if all else holds as is.

A LOT of activity at week's end, according to supercharge.info.

It would be wonderful if there were a way to toggle back and forth between maps(now) vs maps(12 mos. ago), etc. Almost all of us - in NoAm, Europe, Asia; plus in regional subsets - often are frustrated because SpCs haven't progressed as fast as we'd like, but when we look at the bigger picture, the build-out really remains exciting.

Well said AudubonB, it really is fun to watch the build out. I check supercharge.info every morning to see if any thing has changed since yesterday. Tesla is doing 10 times more than the nearest competitor with providing charge station locations.

The SC network is one of the big reasons my wife and I decided to buy our first Tesla about a month ago. After a month it still makes me grin every time I open the garage door and see that car there waiting for me.

The count for USA locations is now 198 and Sheridan WY and Albuquerque NM look to be close to completion. That 200 mark is going to fall pretty soon.

There is a WAY BACK function that allows you to see that.

Actually BlueShift was without connectivity for a bit, but he reconnected on Thursday and added in a few days worth of updates all at once.

On Supercharge.Info, go under "Map Options" and click "Way Back." Not exactly what you asked for, but fun... :biggrin:

 

[Kevin Harney]

Looks like we just hit 450 WORLDWIDE !!

 

[AudubonB]

I'd forgotten about "Way Back". That is fun to watch, indeed.

Ah well. Convalescent period has just about ended. Soon (July 4-5) back to the Land Of Hyperslow Internet Connection. No more videos, no more seeing any page pop right up. Rather, open a page, go cook breakfast....might be able to read it once eggs are ready. Ugh.

Nice stats and graphs, jvonbokel.
I've been saying that there's an underdeployment of Superchargers in Pennsylvania (in addition to the glaring absence of Erie, there's a huge "you can't get there from here" rural hole) and Michigan (you can't go north, pretty much). I'm glad to see that your graphs support that. I don't pay as much attention to South Carolina or Texas but I can easily believe that they have a shortage of deployment as well.

China development has come to an almost complete halt, despite great plans for the year.

I wonder whether this has something to do with supporting the GB/T standard, or the Q1 China sale setback.

 

[Kevin Harney]

How many US Superchargers were we supposed to add in 2015 ? Are we now half way there ?

 

[swegman]

According to Tesla's prior schedule, we were supposed to be at 205 U.S. superchargers by the end of December 2014. That obviously did not occur. So Tesla is approximately 6 months behind their prior schedule for the United States.

I realize that but I am wondering how far behind the pace they set for themselves for this year we are. I always forget how many dots appeared at the beginning of the year for this year. ie pace was set at 200 we are currently at 65 rather than 100. We are now actually at 54 I believe not 65.
