Tesla Plans Massive New V4 Supercharger in San Francisco
The proposed site would feature 124 stalls, making it one of Tesla's largest charging installations to date.
Tesla is planning a significant expansion of its Supercharger network with a large-scale V4 installation in San Francisco, according to a report from Electrek.
What Happened
Documents reviewed by Electrek indicate Tesla has filed plans for a new V4 Supercharger station in San Francisco. The proposed site would feature 124 charging stalls, substantially larger than typical Supercharger locations. The V4 hardware represents Tesla's latest generation of charging infrastructure, designed to accommodate higher charging speeds and support a broader range of vehicles including non-Tesla EVs through the company's open NACS adapter program.
Why It Matters
For Tesla owners in the Bay Area, a station of this scale would address a persistent concern: charging availability during peak travel periods. San Francisco's dense population and high EV adoption rate have led to crowded charging sites, particularly at existing Supercharger locations. A 124-stall installation would provide substantial additional capacity, potentially reducing wait times significantly. Additionally, the V4 platform's faster charging capabilities mean shorter sessions per vehicle, further improving throughput. The location could also benefit drivers on routes connecting to Sacramento and Southern California.
The Bottom Line
Tesla's planned San Francisco V4 Supercharger with 124 stalls would rank among the company's largest charging installations if approved and constructed as proposed. Details on timeline and specific location were not immediately available.
