Tesla Plans Massive New Supercharger Hub in San Francisco

Tesla is planning one of its biggest urban Supercharger stations yet, with a proposed 124-stall charging hub in San Francisco.


According to plans filed with the city, the station would be built at 75 Waterloo Street, near the intersection of Highway 101 and Interstate 280. The location provides easy access to the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, San Francisco International Airport, and nearby residential neighborhoods.


A charging site of this size is unusual inside a major city, where high land costs typically make massive charging hubs difficult to build. Tesla’s largest Supercharger locations are generally found along major interstate routes where space is cheaper.


The San Francisco project would feature 124 V4 Supercharger stalls using a conventional parking layout. For comparison, another Tesla station proposed near Market Street would have just 35 stalls.


Tesla also plans to build a roughly 416-square-foot “micro-amenity” facility at the site. It would include accessible restrooms, diaper-changing stations, water fountains, vending machines offering drinks and snacks, and space for security and site equipment.


The station is expected to operate 24 hours a day. However, the plans do not currently include solar canopies or Tesla Megapack batteries, which are used at some of the company’s other large charging locations.


The latest application was submitted on July 29 and still requires city approval. Tesla has not announced when construction could begin or when the Supercharger hub might open.
