Part 7/13:
Charging Infrastructure Constraints
A critical bottleneck for Tesla’s growth lies in charging infrastructure. While Tesla boasts a robust Supercharger network in Europe and parts of North America, many regions, especially those further afield like parts of South America and Asia, lack sufficient charging stations. Even within Europe, the density of chargers varies, leaving some areas underserved.
For example, the author of the analysis notes personal experiences traveling from Vancouver to Whistler—an essential recreational route—highlighting frustrations due to inadequate charging options. The lack of accessible chargers hampers potential demand, especially in areas where travelers need predictable and reliable charging to confidently own an electric vehicle.
