Tesla Supercharging Celebrates 10 Years

Tesla celebrates 10 years of Supercharging. The company recently released a tweet that highlights how the network expanded over the years.
The first stations were installed in September 2012 to support the market launch of the Tesla Model S (see Supercharger Event video below).
Supercharging at 90 kW, and later at up to 120 kW was a major thing, which combined with the long range of the Model S, opened the possibility to use an electric car for long-distance travel.
The high power output was not the only new thing. The Tesla Supercharging completely changed the charging industry.
