Hello everyone,
Are there any updates about supercharger in Razanj? Will it go to the construction phase?
Thank you.
I’m afraid this might be a shot in the dark.
At one point, there was information that an expansion was planned at the AVA charger in Belgrade, but that news was soon withdrawn.
In addition, Tesla’s website no longer shows any indication or marking that anything is planned there, although it used to.
Good point plans indeed seem unclear now.
Maybe instead of pushing for a petition, we could restart a suggestion thread and collect actual travel patterns from Serbian owners?
Many Belgrade owners drive to IKEA just to charge, even when they have no other reason to go there which creates unnecessary trips and traffic. So, If the AVA expansion is off the table, it could make sense to suggest another location in Belgrade that fits Tesla’s siting strategy.
Maybe we could encourage Tesla to consider one more charging point in the city, wherever infrastructure allows. It would save a lot of extra kilometres and make ownership more convenient for the growing EV community here.
Same for the south Aleksinac works but gets tight.
If RaĹľanj is cancelled, reinforcing Aleksinac or identifying another convenient highway spot could help the flow.
And one more thing, a charger around PoĹľega would improve travel toward Montenegro and BiH - that corridor can really benefit from fast charging.
Not pushing Tesla just sharing data so they have real usage info from locals.
I absolutely agree with you, but the question remains: can we really change anything, and what exactly can we influence?
Unfortunately, it’s clear that Tesla currently shows little real interest in this part of Europe, namely the Balkans. If that weren’t the case, they would likely be more actively involved in addressing infrastructure issues.
Having only two locations in Serbia is, realistically, far too little and almost laughable. I know some will argue that the market is small and that there aren’t enough Tesla vehicles, but how can you expect that to change if the company itself doesn’t show interest and invest in a charging network? It’s a vicious circle.
Beyond Belgrade and Aleksinac (which are clearly intended as simple transit points), there should be at least five more locations, for example:
- Zlatibor – a tourist hub and transit route toward Montenegro and Bosnia
- Vranje – a key point on the corridor toward North Macedonia and Greece
- Novi Sad – the second largest city in the country, a logical market
- Niš – a regional center and hub for Southeastern Europe
- Zrenjanin – an industrial city and a relief point for Vojvodina
Adding these locations wouldn’t be a luxury, but rather the minimum required to make Tesla ownership in Serbia practical and sustainable.
Very well said, I completely agree.
Right now Tesla’s network in Serbia looks more like a transit corridor than a real market. If the company wants this region to grow, it needs at least a basic charging backbone here. That matters not only for convenience, but also for showing commitment and building confidence among future owners.
We can’t force Tesla to invest, but we can give clear and well-structured feedback as a community. If owners suggest a few priority locations and submit them through the Tesla app, it becomes a real signal, not just forum talk.
I’m happy to help collect realistic locations and organize the input, so that when Tesla looks at the Balkans again, they already see coordinated demand from Serbia.
I’ve suggested Zlatibor as a Supercharger location on Tesla’s website multiple times, but it has never appeared as an option for voting.
Now I see that Niš has been listed as a proposed location that people can vote for, which is a step forward — although, to be honest, I’m not very optimistic about it.
It’s good to see that there are people genuinely interested in getting things moving in Serbia.
By the way, where are you from?
Zlatibor is one of the most logical locations, especially for the Montenegro and Bosnia route. Seeing Niš show up is good, even if progress is slow and expectations need to stay realistic.
Still, it’s encouraging to see more people here thinking about EV travel in Serbia and trying to move things forward.
I’m in Belgrade at the moment. Not originally from Serbia, but living here now.
Bravo! All that’s left is to hope that someone who might know the way to spark change in this region will come across our exchange.
Still, it’s a bit discouraging that it’s just the two of us on this topic – and both from Belgrade.
True, but every change starts with just a couple of people who care. Even if it’s only two voices now, it’s already something instead of silence.
And who knows, maybe someone else will read this later and join in. Ideas need time and repetition before they catch on.
If we keep the topic alive from time to time, more people will eventually get involved. Slow progress is still progress.

You can try to select Čačak as a new place for supercharger. (I’ve been trying to find some closer locations but Čačak was the only one that suits). It’s not so close to Zlatibor, but anyway this option helps to get much easier to this destination. If Tesla notices a consistent number of requests for a specific location, it’s more likely that they’ll add it to the next voting round. Also I have suggested Skopje, Novi Sad, one more location in Belgrade, Podgorica and Pljevlja.

Bravo for your effort! 
I also submit suggestions in every voting round, but…
Now I see that Niš has appeared again on the list, and for the first time Novi Sad – make sure to vote if you haven’t already!
And the funniest (and a bit sad) part is that there are only the two of us on this topic…

Don’t be afraid.
All people who use Serbia as a transit route struggle with the limited charging options — not only Tesla drivers.
- Novi Sad and
- Hotel Nais (Niš) are important hubs.
This two places are suggest from our community.
the lack of Superchargers in Serbia is a real bottleneck.
Especially the 4 stalls in Aleksinac (V2) often cause long queues, sometimes with 10–15 cars waiting.
also they are not so much alternatives

I absolutely agree with you that not only Tesla drivers are at risk. Given that Tesla is increasingly opening up its chargers to other manufacturers, that could be good for everyone. I hope that Tesla, above all, will pay a little more attention to this region.
I think it could be a good idea to suggest a new Supercharger location in Požega. A few years ago Tesla planned to build a station there, but for some reason this project hasn’t been completed.
A Supercharger in PoĹľega would give much easier access to the southwest part of Serbia, including Zlatibor, ÄŚaÄŤak and UĹľice, and also improve the routes to the Montenegro and BiH (where a Supercharger is also planned).
So having stations in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Požega and of course Aleksinac will provide much better coverage of the road network, making travel across the Serbia more convenient.
Thank you for your aid in this. Hopefully there will soon be a better solution.
I live in Čačak since September and so get to limits although we have two 50kW options around the city. But it’s expensive and poor speed.
That’s why I often go to Belgrade…this works really fine for me… I would definitely also be ready to pay when the infrastructure would be better.
Please Tesla, do something in this region!

It looks like Tesla is already starting to notice Serbia, with Niš and Novi Sad getting a lot of attention in the Supercharger voting.
That kind of visibility probably helps show real demand. From there, extending coverage towards ÄŚaÄŤak / PoĹľega / Zlatibor would make a lot of sense.
I traveled towards Zlatibor quite often last summer, and without an official Supercharger it’s harder to plan routes reliably.

It would be welcome if that were the truth; however, my impression does not align with that. I observe that the emphasis is primarily on the Republic of Croatia. Even Greece, in that context, receives poorer treatment.
I agree that we desperately need more superchargers in the Balkans. I tried tweeting at Tesla and TeslaCharging multiple times about new Superchargers in Serbia and Skopje / Macedonia. So far, no reaction. I am debating sending them an E-Mail or a letter since I do travel down to Skopje often. Having no SuC there and relying on outdated V2 with practically no fallbacks is far from optimal. Especially, since this is the main route for everyone also driving up from or down to Turkey…

I agree that the Balkans urgently need better Supercharger coverage, but the problem goes beyond adding isolated points. At the moment, the Greece–Central Europe route has some very long gaps. Thessaloniki to Sofia is aproximately 288 km, and Thessaloniki to Niš/Aleksinac is 420 km. Even for newer Teslas, this often turns into efficiency driving with no option for mistake.
A Supercharger in North Macedonia, ideally near Skopje or the airport, would significantly improve this situation. It would split the Thessaloniki - Niš stretch into two smaller, about 210 km each, turning this into a reliable corridor.
Such a location could also work as a regional hub rather than a single-purpose charger: airport access, 24/7 infrastructure, and multiple traffic flows. This is similar to how the Belgrade IKEA Supercharger serves not only transit traffic but also the city itself. In Serbia, Superchargers unintentionally enabled local adoption and new businesses, such as taxi fleets in Niš and Aleksinac, and rental companies in Belgrade, even though Serbia was never an official sales market. A Skopje Supercharger could realistically have a similar effect in North Macedonia, especially for airport-based rental fleets.
All in all, this would not just add another dot on the map, but stabilize a key European route while also supporting local EV growth.

Tweeting or emailing Tesla doesn’t really lead anywhere. Official Supercharger voting seems more meaningful, since it shows demand in numbers. Forums (Reddit, X, etc.) are still useful to raise awareness and discuss real issues, but probably not for direct communication with Tesla itself.
