Tesla Expands an Early Australian Supercharger as EV Sales Surge

AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla is enlarging one of its earliest Supercharger sites in Australia, a small but telling move that captures how fast electric-vehicle demand is climbing in one of the company's most enthusiastic markets.

The site sits in Euroa, in the state of Victoria, on the popular Melbourne-to-Canberra-and-Sydney corridor. According to council filings surfaced by local EV watchers, Tesla has applied to grow the station from six stalls to ten, adding four bays and swapping in its newest V4 technology. The company will also install CCTV for site security, and Tesla is covering all the costs — the local council will pay nothing.

From V2 to V4

The Euroa station first opened in 2017 as a six-stall V2 Supercharger, with each stall topping out around 130 kW. The upgrade would bring far faster V4 hardware and, notably, open the site to non-Tesla EVs for the first time. At current pricing of about $0.43 per kilowatt-hour, it is already one of the more affordable fast-charging stops in the region.

That kind of steady infrastructure investment is a Tesla hallmark, and it pays dividends in customer loyalty. The Supercharger network has become a destination in its own right — the company's flagship Los Angeles location recently ended its first year as the world's busiest Supercharger, dispensing more than 21 GWh. Euroa is a reminder that the same expansion is happening quietly across hundreds of everyday sites.

Riding a Wave of Demand

The upgrade is a direct response to growth. As of July 2026, Tesla operates 158 Supercharger sites across Australia with more than 1,000 stalls, and demand keeps rising as EV adoption accelerates nationwide. Opening the network to other brands, meanwhile, widens Tesla's charging business and strengthens the case for building even more sites.

Charging is only one piece of Tesla's expanding Australian footprint. The company's energy arm is booming globally too, with storage deployments hitting a record 13.5 GWh in the second quarter, and Australia's sunny grid has been an eager adopter of Powerwall and Megapack systems.

A Small Site, a Big Signal

The Strathbogie Shire Council consultation period runs until August 11, with a decision expected later this year. On its own, a four-stall addition in rural Victoria is minor. But as The Driven reported on the Euroa expansion, the reason behind it — surging EV demand — is anything but.

Multiply that pressure across Tesla's global network and the picture comes into focus: more drivers, more sites, faster hardware, and increasingly open access. For Australian EV owners heading down the Hume Highway, the Euroa upgrade is welcome news. For Tesla, it is one more data point showing the electric transition is speeding up.
