On 3 April 2026, Tesla Charging announced that the French site hosted the 80,000th stall in its worldwide network.<\/p>\n<p><em>Archive coverage of the announcement from 3 April 2026, prepared in October 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"rank-math-toc\" class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\">\n<nav aria-label=\"Contents\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#archivio-1\">Supercharger: another European milestone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#archivio-2\">Stalls and stations are different numbers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#archivio-3\">What the milestone means<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"archivio-1\">Supercharger: another European milestone<\/h2>\n<p>The Saint-Saturnin expansion added 28 charging stalls, taking the station\u2019s total to 48. Tesla\u2019s original message also mentioned solar canopies and toilets: amenities that make a stop more convenient, alongside the number of available connectors.<\/p>\n<p>The location chosen to celebrate the result gives the milestone a tangible European dimension. For travellers, expanding an existing station can matter as much as opening a new one: it creates more opportunities to find a stall where they are already used to stopping.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"archivio-2\">Stalls and stations are different numbers<\/h2>\n<p>The 80,000 announced by Tesla referred to individual charging stalls, rather than 80,000 locations. Saint-Saturnin, for example, was one site with 48 stalls. Keeping the two measures separate makes the network\u2019s growth easier to interpret correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The figure also captures a specific stage in April 2026. It does not describe the number of Superchargers available today and should not be used to estimate how busy a station will be during a trip. That depends on the time of the stop and the current information shown by the car.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"archivio-3\">What the milestone means<\/h2>\n<p>The news documents infrastructure expansion without turning global growth into a promise of always finding an available charger. Stall numbers, station locations and on-site amenities remain complementary parts of the travel experience.<\/p>\n<p>More coverage is available in our <a href=\"https:\/\/teslhub.com\/en\/category\/batterie-e-ricarica\/\">Batteries and charging<\/a> section.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"archivio-4\">Sources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TeslaCharging\/status\/2040095573940859222\">Tesla Charging, original announcement on 3 April 2026<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notateslaapp.com\/news\/3906\/tesla-hits-80000-superchargers-with-huge-site-in-france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not a Tesla App, coverage of the French site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><small>Supercharger stalls: official Tesla archive photograph, rather than a photograph specifically of Saint-Saturnin.
