Official data shows that more than 11,500+ Tesla Superchargers have been built across the country currently, with an availability rate of over 99.5%; about 250 kilometers of energy can be replenished with just 15 minutes of charging.

If third-party chargers are included, then the 10.24 million chargers across the country are all available to Tesla owners, which is equivalent to five times the number of fuel guns.
