Tesla Superchargers open at The Bend Motorsport Park

Tesla's Supercharger network now includes a location outside of Australia's latest motorsport complex.

Positioned at an On The Run (OTR) fuel station on Dukes Highway in Tailem Bend, SA, the six V3 Superchargers are right next to The Bend Motorsport Park and became operational at the start of January.

Capable of charging at up to 250kW through its CCS/SAE plugs, the location is ideal for anyone driving between Adelaide and Melbourne, being set up around 100 kilometres east of the South Australian capital and roughly 650km from the Melbourne CBD – although there are more chargers on the way to Victoria.

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the facility services travellers along the highway as well as Tesla drivers who are taking part in events at The Bend, making it possible for them to drive just outside of the complex to recharge.

According to PlugShare, there is a three-phase outlet within The Bend's complex, but this could also be used for purposes other than electric vehicle recharging.

The EV lap record at The Bend is currently held by Porsche, after Luke Youlden was able to set a time of 3:22.066 around the circuit in a Taycan Turbo S.
