Tesla has unveiled the latest winners of its Q4 Supercharger voting round, expanding its charging network across multiple regions. The selection highlights key locations in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Alongside announcing the new winners, Tesla has opened the voting process for the next quarter, allowing enthusiasts and users to propose new Supercharger sites. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility and convenience for Tesla drivers worldwide.
The current voting round builds upon Tesla’s ongoing efforts since 2022 to involve the community in network expansion. Previously, Tesla has consistently leveraged user feedback to identify optimal locations for new Superchargers, ensuring that the network grows in alignment with driver needs and travel patterns.
New Q4 Winners in the U.S., Canada, Europe
In North America, locations such as Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Clermont, Florida, have secured top votes. Canada saw Ucluelet, British Columbia, and Bathurst, New Brunswick emerge as winners. European winners include Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Warsaw South, Poland. These sites are marked on Tesla’s Find Us page with a gold trophy icon, indicating their development status.
Asia-Pacific Expands with New Locations
The Asia-Pacific region welcomed new Supercharger sites in Braidwood, New South Wales, Australia, and Gwacheon, Seoul, South Korea. These additions are part of Tesla’s strategy to strengthen its presence in rapidly growing EV markets. The inclusion of diverse locations ensures broader coverage and meets the increasing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure.
Supercharger Enhancements and EV Compatibility
Tesla is enhancing its Supercharger network by improving stall availability accuracy and increasing the number of long charging cables. The company is also modifying stations to prevent non-Tesla EVs from blocking stalls.

These upgrades support the planned expansion to accommodate non-Tesla electric vehicles, fostering greater interoperability within the EV community.
The network improvements extend to providing access for other EV brands. Hyundai’s 2025 Ioniq 5 will be the first EV to charge at Superchargers with a native NACS port. Additionally, Tesla will offer a CCS charger adapter to existing vehicles by early 2025. This move follows the recent inclusion of Nissan’s Ariya EV, demonstrating Tesla’s commitment to broader industry collaboration.
Tesla’s ongoing enhancements to the Supercharger network reflect its dedication to expanding electric vehicle infrastructure. By involving the community in site selection and improving compatibility with other EV brands, Tesla ensures that its charging network remains robust and user-friendly. These efforts not only benefit Tesla owners but also contribute to the overall growth of the electric vehicle market.
