Tesla's Supercharger stations are a key part of the eletric-car maker's strategy to make electric-vehicle ownership easier for customers. While electric-vehicle owners can often charge at home, longer trips can require a trip to a public charger, which are $4 than gas stations.
Tesla has over 1,600 Supercharger stations with over 14,400 stalls in North America.
