Elon Musk-led company says that the largest global fast charging network is the Tesla Inc TSLA, which has a network of 35,000 superchargers. In just 15 minutes, a supercharger can add up to 322 miles of range. The stops on the company's website are typically short and convenient.
Some of the fast chargers can be found in pretty unlikely locations around the world, because of the web of fast chargers. Here are some extreme supercharger locations around the globe.

The northernmost supercharger: The world's most northern supercharger is located in the Arctic circle in Honningsv g, Norway. The city, located on Mager ya Island, is Norway's northernmost city and has a population of 2,484. There are three chargers available at this location, which are available day and night for both Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles.
It is possible to make the 1,229-mile journey from Oslo To Honningsvg through Norway, Sweden and Finland in a Tesla, according to the Musk-led company's website. It will require seven breaks along the way for charging, with the longest being a 40 minute halt.
Southernmost Charger: Tesla's southernmost charger is in Queenstown, New Zealand. The town is located in the Otago region of New Zealand and has a population of 15,800. It is famous for skiing and other adventure tourism activities.
There are four superchargers available in Queenstown and they have up to 150 kW CCS compatibility. It is possible to drive from Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, through Christchurch to Queenstown. A 572 mile journey, which Tesla says will take 15 hours and 27 minutes. The longest stop for charging would be in Christchurch for 50 minutes.
On Roof Of The World: Tesla has put in a number of superchargers in Tibet. One is in the Chinese-administered region of Lhasa. Other remote Tesla superchargers are present in Yunnan, Qinghai, Gansu and Xinjiang.
Cursory research done by Benzinga found seven superchargers in Tibet, 11 in Xinjiang, four in Qinghai, four in Gansu and 44 in Yunnan. Tesla didn't respond to our request for information on Superchargers.
The route planning undertaken by Tesla shows that it is possible to travel 1,386 miles from Lhasa in Tibet to Kunming in Yunnan in 40 hours and 10 minutes with seven stops with the longest break of 55 minutes in Yunnan's Shangri-La county. The journey would have taken a driver from the roof of the world to China's gateway to South East Asia.
