Tesla opens 200th charging location in Australia

Tesla has opened its 200th destination charging network site in South Australia’s McLaren Vale.

The charging station comes as Tesla hits another key anniversary – two years since the first deliveries of Model S into Australia.

Destination charging stations use the same unit as the wall connector used at home and charge at a rate of 40km every hour on 32amp or up to 81km per hour with a 3 phase.

Tesla has collaborated with hotels, restaurants, shopping centres, resorts and secure parking locations to offer destination charging in public as well as at home.

The company also recently opened three new supercharging sites, as well as a fourth Tesla store in Melbourne a couple of months ago.

Tesla says it has no plans to slow down in 2017, with more destination charging sites to open as the brand expands across Australia.
