Tesla opens 150th Supercharger site in Australia ahead of Easter travel

Tesla has reached a major infrastructure milestone in Australia, officially opening its 150th Supercharger site just ahead of the busy Easter holiday travel period.

The new fast-charging station is located in Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, an area known for its popular wineries and regional tourism. The site features eight charging bays equipped with Tesla’s latest V4 Superchargers, capable of delivering charging speeds of up to 300kW.

Like many of Tesla’s newer installations, the Pokolbin site is open to both Tesla and non-Tesla electric vehicles, helping broaden access to reliable ultra-fast charging across the region.

Charging costs vary depending on the vehicle:

• Tesla vehicles: approximately $0.46 per kWh
• Non-Tesla vehicles: approximately $0.65 per kWh without a Tesla Supercharger membership

The location is expected to be particularly valuable during peak travel periods such as Easter, when large numbers of visitors head to the Hunter Valley from Sydney and surrounding areas.

Rapid growth of Tesla’s charging network in Australia

Tesla’s charging footprint has grown rapidly over the past two years, with the latest milestone arriving just 18 months after the company opened its 100th Supercharger site in Australia.

That earlier milestone was marked by the Glenelg Supercharger in South Australia, which opened in September 2024.

According to recent data, Tesla’s Australian charging network now includes close to 1,000 individual Supercharger bays spread across the country.

Growth has been particularly strong over the past 15 months:

• 42 new Supercharger sites added
• Network expansion of roughly 39 per cent
• Coverage stretching from Tasmania to Queensland

The southernmost charger in Tesla’s Australian network is located near Hobart, which opened earlier this year and coincided with another global milestone for the company — its 75,000th Supercharger worldwide.

Globally, Tesla recently surpassed 80,000 Superchargers, highlighting the continued expansion of its fast-charging ecosystem.

What this means for Australia’s EV charging infrastructure

Tesla’s growing Supercharger network plays a significant role in supporting the broader adoption of electric vehicles across Australia.

Reliable fast-charging infrastructure remains one of the key factors influencing EV uptake, particularly for drivers who regularly travel between cities or into regional areas.

By opening its network to non-Tesla vehicles, the company has also helped improve charging accessibility for owners of other EV brands, effectively turning parts of the Supercharger network into a shared national charging resource.

The continued expansion of high-speed charging sites in regional destinations — such as the Hunter Valley — also helps address infrastructure gaps that have historically limited EV travel outside major cities.

As EV sales continue to grow in Australia, analysts expect further investment from both Tesla and other charging providers to expand coverage along major highways, tourist routes and regional centres.
