At the recent 2023 Investor Day, Tesla revealed some data related to electric vehicle charging.
Tesla previously announced that it has produced 4 million electric vehicles. According to Tesla’s March 1, 2023 presentation, the cumulative total mileage for all models is nearly 80 billion miles (129 billion kilometers), which means an average of about 20,000 miles per vehicle (approximate value, calculated without removing vehicles that have been scrapped).
All Tesla vehicles drive approximately 123 million miles per day, charge 1.9 million times per day (on average), and drive approximately 30+ miles (48 km) per vehicle per day.

In addition, the average Tesla car travels 65 miles (105 km) between charges (AC or DC). It appears that many drivers do not charge their cars every day, as the average daily mileage appears to be about half of the distance driven between charges.
By the end of 2022, Tesla already had 4,678 charging stations with 42,419 individual connectors, an average of 9.1 connectors per station.
In the next slide, Tesla notes that with 1.5 million Supercharges per week (about 214,000 per day), the charging network provided about 9 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in 2022. This means that a Supercharger station is used on average about 320 times a week, while a charging connector is used 35 times. All these figures are very rough estimates.

In terms of Supercharging time, the company says that the average charging time is gradually decreasing and is currently about 27.5 minutes.
The chart provided below shows that Tesla has managed to reduce charging times through a variety of measures, including increasing charging power, battery warm-up, and other incentives for users to charge only to the level needed to reach the next charging station. If this trend continues, in the future, the average Supercharging time could be less than 25 minutes.
