Electric car manufacturer Tesla has confirmed that a network of its Supercharger stations will be coming to Australia sometime after its Model S electric five-door arrives later in 2014.
“Australian Model S deliveries begin later this year and, shortly after, we will develop a Supercharger network in the country that enables owners to take road trips,” said Tesla according to The Register.
Owners of the Tesla plug-in car rely on the company’s Supercharger network, so they can complete an extended road trip on one route. According to the company they provide half a charge in as little as 20 minutes and are strategically placed to allow owners to drive from station to station with minimal stops.
There are currently more than 100 free-to-use Supercharger stations in the US, 56 in Europe and 13 in Asia. The company has not specified where the Supercharger stations will be placed in Australia.
According to Car Advice, three versions of the Model S will be available in Australia. The $96,208 Model S 60, the $111,807 Model S 85, and the $133,257 Model S P85.
