For once, Tesla fans can be a part of the company’s decision-making process. The electric car maker has now opened the floor to followers to vote on a poll that will determine the next Supercharger location.
In its request, the dedicated Tesla Charging Twitter account has also asked followers to reply to its tweet with potential places to add to its 35,000 sites worldwide.

As it stands, Tesla’s Supercharger network covers most of the United States. However, there are rural areas that remain inaccessible to Tesla drivers.
The poll comes as the company gears up to launch its Supercharger network, which will allow EVs of different brands to make use of its charging stations.
While this could be seen as a good thing and may encourage people to start using electric cars, TechCrunch notes that this might also put pressure on the entire network, especially in places like California where the proportion of EV drivers is higher.
According to an Engadget report, the company’s car sales rose roughly 87% last year. However, there weren’t enough Superchargers to match this growth, as its charging network only expanded by 35%.
