Oklahoma City's first Tesla superchargers arrived this week at the Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City.

Superchargers are free connectors that are capable of rapidly charging a Tesla Model S electric car. Tesla has been building a network of strategically placed stations throughout the country. In Oklahoma, supercharger stations are already operating in Weatherford off Interstate 40 and in Ardmore and Perry on Interstate 35.

The superchargers are able to give 85 kWh vehicles an additional 180 miles of range with a 30-minute charge.

Tesla is trying to locate the stations strategically to minimize stops during long distance travel near restaurants, shopping centers and Wi-Fi hot spots.
