About Tesla Supercharger Stations
Tesla first revealed the locations of the first six Supercharger stations on September 24th. These first superchargers will enable Model S to travel long distances throughout California, parts of Nevada and Arizona with ultra-fast charging. Superchargers can give road trippers half a charge in about 30 minutes. Supercharging provides Model S owners free long distance travel indefinitely. Overtime, each station will be connected to a solar power system designed to generate more energy than is consumed by vehicles using the Supercharger. This results in a positive transfer of sunlight-generated power back to the electricity grid.
