Tesla Inc. Brings Its Superchargers to Urban Areas

Ahead of high-volume production of its recently launched Model 3, Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) has been revamping its Supercharger program to meet the needs of a much larger vehicle fleet. From implementing an idling fee designed to speed up turnover to its ongoing buildout that will double the number of Superchargers in 2017, the electric car maker's charging network is a top priority.

Now Tesla is taking those plans for its Supercharger network a step further. On Monday, it said it will build charging infrastructure into city centers, expanding beyond its previous focus on locations along highways and popular driving routes. This will help make charging easier for Tesla owners who don't have access to charging at home or work.
