Tesla has launched its northernmost Supercharger station in North America, located in Fairbanks, Alaska. The site features eight V4 stalls and is set to expand to 48, providing crucial charging options in one of the coldest regions. This addition highlights Tesla's ongoing infrastructure push amid harsh winter conditions.
Tesla activated its northernmost Supercharger in North America on December 12, 2025, in Fairbanks, Alaska, a city just 196 miles south of the Arctic Circle. With average weekly temperatures hovering around -12 degrees Fahrenheit, the station offers eight V4 stalls capable of charging at up to 325 kW, at a base rate of $0.43 per kWh. Tesla announced the opening via its official Charging account: "North America’s northernmost Supercharger Fairbanks, AK (8 stalls) opened to public."
Prior to this, Alaska had only 36 Supercharger stalls despite being the largest U.S. state by area, leaving Tesla owners in remote areas with limited public charging. The Fairbanks site will eventually grow to 48 stalls, addressing demand from local EV drivers who have long awaited expanded infrastructure in frigid conditions.
This opening fits into Tesla's robust 2025 Supercharger expansion, the company's strongest year yet. Through the first three quarters, Tesla added 7,753 stations and 73,817 stalls worldwide, marking a 16 percent increase in stations and 18 percent in stalls compared to 2024. The firm is on pace to install over 12,000 new stalls for the full year, equivalent to one every hour. Challenges like transitioning from V3 to V4 hardware caused early slowdowns, but progress accelerated later.
Recently, Tesla completed its largest Supercharger, the 168-stall Oasis in Lost Hills, California, fully powered by Tesla solar panels. Globally, the Fairbanks station ranks outside the top five northernmost sites, all located in Scandinavian countries like Norway's Honningsvåg, the world's northernmost.
The expansion underscores Tesla's commitment to reliable charging in extreme environments, supporting broader EV adoption in underserved regions.
