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one point, there was information that an expansion was planned at the AVA charger in Belgrade, but that news was soon withdrawn.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 Ražanj is cancelled, reinforcing Aleksinac or identifying another convenient highway spot could help the flow.
And one more thing, a charger around Požega 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.
