Tesla Launches Charge Stats 2 in Mobile App With Maps, Milestones and Supercharger Badges

Tesla has rolled out Charge Stats 2, an expanded version of its existing charging analytics feature, bringing map visualisations, a milestones system and collectible digital badges to the Tesla mobile app. The update arrives with app version 4.58.0 and has been confirmed through Tesla’s own social media posts and third-party app tracking reports.

It’s a notable step up from the original Charge Stats feature, which launched in early 2022 and offered bar charts, basic energy breakdowns and rough cost comparisons with petrol. Charge Stats 2 keeps all of that, but layers on a more visual experience that lets owners see where they’ve actually been charging — plotted on a map.

What’s Actually New in Charge Stats 2

The headline addition is the road trip map. Open the Charging section of the Tesla app, tap Charge Stats, and you can now see the geographic locations of every Supercharger you’ve used over a selected period — defaulting to roughly the last 12 months, though users can adjust the date range. For anyone who’s done a long cross-country run or a regular commute punctuated by top-ups, it’s a surprisingly satisfying way to see where your car has actually been.

Meanwhile, the analytics themselves have also been sharpened. The updated interface displays total charging spend, energy charged in kilowatt-hours, range added across sessions, and estimated savings compared with local petrol costs. That last figure depends on the electricity tariff you’ve entered in the app — and Tesla’s system is fairly detailed here, supporting custom rate plans with time-of-use periods and up to three seasonal pricing tiers, which matters a lot in a UK market where off-peak overnight rates can vary much between suppliers.

Then there are the badges. Sitting directly beneath Charge Stats in the app’s Charging section, a new Badges menu divides achievements into two categories: Milestones and Iconic Chargers. Milestones cover seasonal or usage-based awards — think charging targets or anniversary markers. Iconic Charger badges are earned by visiting selected high-profile Supercharger locations, turning those stops into something closer to a digital passport stamp.

Tesla has not fully disclosed which Supercharger sites qualify as “iconic” or what criteria a location must meet to earn that designation. So for now, that part of the system remains partly unverified.

A Word on the Roll-Out

Not every Tesla owner will see Charge Stats 2 the moment they update to version 4.58.0. Tesla is activating the feature server-side in stages, which means the app binary might be on your phone while the new maps and badges haven’t switched on yet. That’s fairly standard practice for Tesla app updates, but it does mean you might be waiting a few days after your neighbour starts posting their road trip maps before yours appears.

There’s also a data-sharing caveat worth knowing about. Some owners have reported that Charge Stats features go missing or appear incomplete when certain data-sharing settings aren’t enabled on the vehicle itself. Enabling road segment sharing in the car’s settings appears to restore full functionality after a short delay. Tesla’s support documentation also notes that charging data can take up to 24 hours to update in the app after a session ends.

The Gamification Question

The badges system has split opinion among Tesla owners online. Many welcome the visual polish and the added engagement — especially long-distance drivers who enjoy having a record of their journeys. But some owners have pushed back, arguing that collectible badges are a thin reward when more substantive improvements, like faster charging speeds or wider Supercharger coverage in less-served areas, remain outstanding.

EV advocates have broadly welcomed the transparency angle. Clearer cost comparisons with petrol, accurate tariff configuration and visible savings data all help drivers make more informed decisions about when and where to charge. Whether the badges add meaningful value on top of that is, fairly enough, a matter of personal taste.

Zac Cataldo, a prominent Tesla community figure and host of the Like Tesla podcast, said: “Charge Stats 2 is the kind of quality-of-life update that shows Tesla is paying attention to the ownership experience beyond just the vehicle itself.”

What Happens Next

Tesla hasn’t announced a firm timeline for full global roll-out of Charge Stats 2, and UK-specific documentation remains limited at this stage. Feature parity between regions can vary, chiefly where electricity tariff localisation is involved. For now, the practical advice is to check your app version, confirm your data sharing settings on the vehicle, and make sure your electricity tariff is entered accurately in the app — that’s what drives the savings estimates that make the feature genuinely useful rather than just decorative.

The Badges section is also expected to become a permanent home for what were previously temporary, seasonal charging awards that Tesla has issued in the past. Those older awards, which some owners received but had no lasting place to view, may eventually appear there too.

What This Means for Kent Residents

Tesla owners in Kent can use Charge Stats 2 to get a clearer picture of what they’re actually spending on home and public charging — and how that compares with filling up at the petrol station — by entering their local electricity tariff from their supplier into the app. Drivers who regularly use Superchargers along the M2 or M20 corridors, or near the cross-Channel connections at Folkestone and Dover, may find their routes appearing on the new road trip maps, and could potentially earn Iconic Charger badges if any designated sites fall within or near the county, though Tesla has not published a confirmed list of UK qualifying locations. If you’re a Tesla owner and Charge Stats 2 hasn’t appeared yet, check that road segment sharing is enabled in your vehicle settings and that your app is running version 4.58.0 or later.
