Tesla has opened a new Supercharger in Fairbanks, Alaska, pushing its fast-charging network farther north and into some of the coldest operating conditions in North America.
The Fairbanks location is Tesla’s northernmost Supercharger in North America, and comes one the heels of several others in recent weeks, including Trapper Creek, Nenana, and the earlier Birchwood site, all of which sit at comparable northern latitudes. However, the Fairbanks station is currently the northernmost Supercharger in North America at 64.84° N, and notably the most extreme from a climate standpoint.

Fairbanks is known for its harsh winters, with recorded temperatures plunging as low as –56°C (–68°F). That makes the site one of Tesla’s most challenging Supercharger deployments to date, testing the reliability of high-power charging hardware in prolonged sub-arctic conditions.
The new Supercharger features eight stalls capable of delivering up to 325 kW, using V4 dispensers powered by V3 cabinets. As with Tesla’s latest deployments, the site is open to non-Tesla EVs using NACS. Pricing is set at US$0.43/kWh for Tesla vehicles and US$0.60/kWh for other EVs.
The Fairbanks opening also completes Tesla’s Supercharger corridor between Anchorage and Fairbanks, significantly improving long-distance EV travel within Alaska. While Tesla installed its first Supercharger in the state back in 2022, expansion remained slow for several years before accelerating in December 2025, when multiple new sites went live in quick succession.
Even with Tesla expanding northward in both Canada and Alaska, the two Supercharger networks remain disconnected. Tesla has previously indicated that low traffic volumes make a charging corridor linking Alaska to western Canada economically difficult to justify.
While this new station in Alaska is the northernmost in North America, the world’s northernmost Supercharger is in Honningsvåg, Norway, within the Arctic Circle at 70.6°N latitude compared to Fairbanks below the Arctic Circle at 64.8°N.
As for Canada, the northernmost Supercharger in this country is the recently opened station in Grand Prairie, Alberta (55.10°N). However, Tesla is planning a site in Fort McMurray, which sits further north at 56.73° N.
