American multinational automotive and clean energy company, Tesla has asked its customers to vote where they would like the next Superchargers to be located.
The automotive company already has 35,000 plus Superchargers around the world, however, it wants its customers to decide on the best locations to mount its next batch of Superchargers as it continues to expand its network of EV fast-charging stations in North America, Europe, and Asia.
In a Twitter poll, the company wrote via its official Twitter handle @TeslaCharging on Thursday:
“Supercharger Voting coming soon. Reply with location suggestions — replies with the most likes will be included in the poll.”
It is interesting to note that Tesla’s SuperCharger network has been one of the company’s biggest selling points, as it is the largest chain of EV charging stations.
These stations are still exclusively available to only Tesla vehicles, although they are speculations that the stations will be opened to electric vehicles from other auto manufacturers in the future.
The recent online poll comes as Tesla prepares to open up its supercharger network to other electric vehicles by the end of the year.
The rollout could help Tesla attract new buyers while boosting traffic and profits across the Supercharger network.
The company is ramping up its SuperCharger expansion plans in both the U.S. and Canada to deal with the expected increase in electric vehicle demand.
In addition to handling the increased demand, this expansion will also cover dead zones that SuperChargers don’t have access to yet.
This could also put pressure on the network, particularly in areas like California where there is a higher percentage of Teslas and other EVs.
So far, replies with the most likes on the Twitter poll, have suggestions like Alaska, Hawaii, and Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
Replies also suggested high demand at U.S. National Parks, which vacationers often drive long distances through rural areas to reach.
