Tesla opens Dardilly 28‑stall Supercharger

Fast charging is infrastructure news, but the real story is travel friction. If you drive an EV across France, the annoying part is rarely t(bk.world)throoms and food. Tesla’s new Dardilly site, opened with bk World near Lyon, is meant to chip away at exactly that problem. It adds 28 V4 S(bk.world) ### Whe(assets-ir.tesla.com)— one of the key routes for traffic heading south through France. That makes it less of a neighborhood charger and more of a throughput stop, the kind of place people hit on longer intercity drives and holiday traffic runs. bk World says the site is aimed in particular at travelers going south, which tells you this is about corridor capacity, not just local convenience. (bk.world) ### What actually opened? The new (bk.world) and is now open 24/7. A charging forum tracking Tesla rollouts in France also marked the site as opened on May 1 and described it as a 28-stall, 250 kW CCS location. (bk.world) ### Why does “V4” matter? V4 is Tesla’s newer Supercharger hardware. In plain English, it’s the version built for broader compatibility and easier public use. The Dardilly lounge announceme(bk.world)company’s push to serve vehicles beyond Tesla’s own lineup. That matters more in Europe, where CCS compatibility makes cross-brand access much simpler. (bk.world) ### Is this replacing an older Dardilly site? Bas(bk.world)the hotel area in town. The new Dardilly opening appears to be a separate, larger installation tied to the bk World Lounge and positioned as a fresh stop on the A6 axis. That suggests Tesla isn’t just filling map gaps here — it’s increasing capacity where traffic already exists. (tesla.com) ### Why add a lounge to a charger? Because charging time is dead time unless you give peopl(bk.world), and vending. That sounds small, but it changes the feel of a stop. The difference between “28 plugs in a parking lot” and “a reliable rest stop” is the difference between tolerable and easy. (bk.world) ### How big is this in Tesla’s broader buildout? One site does not change the network by itself, but it fits a bigger expansion pattern. (tesla.com)harging stalls in the quarter, growing the network 19% year over year. So Dardilly is one local node in a much larger push to make the charging network denser and more useful. (assets-ir.tesla.com) ### Why should non-Tesla drivers care? Because Tesla’s charging network is no longer just a Tesla perk in many markets. Tesla’s supp(bk.world)ivers of all EV brands. In Europe, that usually means the practical question is less “can I plug in?” and more “is there enough capacity when I arrive?” A 28-stall site helps answer that. (tesla.com) ### Bottom line? This is a pretty simple story — more plugs, better stop, better corridor. But that simplicity is the point. EV a(assets-ir.tesla.com)y moves Tesla’s network a little further in that direction.
