The number of Tesla stations reached 3,724 during the first three months of 2022, an increase of 7.13 percent from the previous quarter.
The company had installed 3,254 stations worldwide as of Q3 2021.
Additionally, Tesla saw a rise in the number of supercharger connectors, which reached 36,165 in Q2 2022, an increase of 34.4% year over year.
Tesla managed to record growth in the supercharger segment despite operating in a period marred by the economic effects emanating from the pandemic.
“Interestingly, Tesla has managed to record supercharger growth despite facing challenges mainly from the chip shortage. Notably, in recent years, charging infrastructure companies raised concerns due to chip shortage factors derailing the momentum of rolling out public charging options,” according to the Finbold report.

Tesla still faces rising competition as more EV makers continue unveiling new products.
