Tesla has introduced a new year end feature called Charging Passport, giving owners a personalized look at how they used the Supercharger network throughout 2025.
The feature appears inside the Tesla app and compiles stats such as longest trip, favourite stations, total kilometres added and estimated gas savings. It also shows a map of every Supercharger visited during the year and includes badges for hitting certain milestones, including stops at select “Iconic Charger” locations that hold historical or destination significance.
Tesla has basically now “gamified” Supercharging, which is a brilliant want to get more people to charge at its stations.
Charging Passport also ties into a contest where nine Tesla owners will win free Supercharging for as long as they own their vehicle. To qualify, owners must open Charging Passport before January 1, 2026.
Tesla will select winners based on three categories: the highest amount of total energy charged in 2025, the highest number of unique Supercharger sites visited and the longest measured distance between Supercharger stops during the year. Three winners will be chosen in each group.
Tesla notes that owners who already have free Supercharging will not be eligible.
The Longest Trip tab in the app is an estimate created from Supercharger visit patterns. Tesla says it does not track vehicle routing or location data for this and instead uses consecutive charging sessions within a 72 hour window that appear to align in the same direction of travel. This section only appears if the owner took at least one trip longer than 160 kilometres in 2025.
Favourite Superchargers lists up to three stations visited at least three times during the year. Kilometres Added is based on total energy charged in 2025 and the efficiency of each vehicle trim. Gas Savings compares the cost of charging to what fuel would have cost in a similar combustion vehicle and can award a “Sustainable Saver” badge for large savings.
Iconic Charger badges appear automatically if the owner charged at one of Tesla’s designated landmark sites. These locations include its new Tesla Diner, Oasis, Santa Monica, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon, along with international Supercharger sites such as Hilden, Montélimar, Harderwijk, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Gayrettepe, Sevilla, Giga Berlin, Lovosice, Gangnam, Enshu Morimachi, Fangshan, Ein Bokek, Osterbo, Honningsvåg, Dunedin and various sites across Chinese provinces.
To access Charging Passport, owners need the Tesla app updated to version 4.51.5 or newer, a vehicle running software 2021.44.25 or later and at least three unique Supercharger visits in 2025 (that might be why you’re not seeing yours). The “Share Charging Data with Tesla App” setting must remain enabled. Some older vehicles may also require “road segment analytics” to be turned on in the Data Sharing menu in order for the feature to work.
Winners will be notified by email, and free Supercharging will be applied to the associated vehicle before March 1, 2026. Tesla says the reward is tied to the owner’s account and cannot be transferred. Vehicles used for commercial services such as rideshare or delivery are excluded, and Tesla may revoke the benefit in cases of excessive usage.
