The company announced in a tweet on 17 October that it hit this milestone with the opening of a new supercharger in Enshu Morimachi. This is the first Tesla V4 Supercharger station in Japan, marking significant progress in the company’s growth in the country.
Progress so far
Tesla started building superchargers in 2012, when the company’s CEO, Elon Musk announced the commencement of the project. At the time, Musk gave a projection of the spread of charging centers within the United States alone.
Today, there are over 60,000 supercharges worldwide, with Japan as one of the top focal countries so far with 600. With this milestone, Tesla maintains its lead as the owner and operator of the largest, fast-charging network in the world.
Noteworthy is the fact that charging of Tesla or any other electric vehicles such as Ford using Tesla superchargers is completely free of charge, in a bid to encourage the use of EVs.

The efficiency of charging has also greatly improved, now allowing users to charge for just 15 minutes to travel 200 miles with the new superchargers.
Nonetheless, Tesla is working on making charging easier and faster. Musk recently hinted that the company may introduce wireless charging in the years to come.
According to reports, the company has submitted a patent for wireless electric vehicle charging tech that could change the future of EVs.
Charting the course for EVs
Tesla has established itself as the top producer and maintainer of electric vehicles in the world today. Since its launch with the 2008 Roadster as the world’s first premium all-electric sedan, other automakers have ventured into EVs.
With the inspiration from Tesla, many more companies may be transitioning to EVs in the near future as EVs are becoming increasingly popular.
