Tesla recently installed its 50,000th Supercharging stall, and as it turns out, it’s not an ordinary dispenser.<\/p>\n
The company recently shared a few photos of the jubilee charging stall, which is all red instead of the standard white and red. Also, the paint color is different than the standard red -It appears to be the Ultra Red that is used on the Model S\/Model X.<\/p>\n
Additionally, near the bottom of the dispenser, there is a label “No 50,000.”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tesla did not reveal where the Supercharger was installed, besides saying that it is\u00a0“somewhere in the world,”<\/em>\u00a0but Tesla’s NACS charging connector indicated that it’s probably in North America.<\/p>\n Tesla enthusiasts quickly figured out the location, which is California – Roseville in the Sacramento area.<\/p>\n We also found a video from the site, shared by Tesla Owners Silicon Valley<\/em>. The location is 1851 Freedom Way, Roseville, CA.<\/p>\n We guess that at least for a brief period of time, it might become quite busy, as many Tesla drivers in the area will likely visit the site.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kAU4_XZR6hI<\/p>\n There are no signs that the special charging stall differs from the ordinary ones in terms of power output or charging cost. It should be a typical 250-kilowatt unit.<\/p>\n With 50,000 Supercharging stalls and well over 5,000 stations globally, the network is the largest one among all fast-charging networks. The rate of new installations is also pretty high, which means that the network is expected to remain the largest one in the near future.<\/p>\n In the coming years, Superchargers will be gradually more and more accessible to non-Tesla electric vehicles, through a non-Tesla Supercharging pilot program and the switch to\u00a0Tesla’s NACS charging connector (in North America) by other manufacturers.<\/p>\n At the same time, charging companies and other EV manufacturers are also working on their charging networks, which means that there will be a variety and competition on many levels – from charging power (including support of high-voltage battery systems), prices, locations, reliability, and amenities.<\/p>\n
