Largest Tesla Supercharger Hub Opens — Is Powered By Solar - CleanTechnica

Tesla has officially opened its largest Supercharger hub in Lost Hills, California, featuring 164 V4 Supercharger stalls capable of delivering over 300 kW each. This new charging station is notable for being primarily powered by an 11 MW solar array combined with 10 Megapacks providing 39 MWh of energy storage, making it mostly off-grid. The hub addresses a critical charging infrastructure gap along the San Francisco to Los Angeles corridor, where utility grid connections were not expected to be available in time to meet growing demand. By leveraging its own solar generation and battery storage, Tesla was able to complete the project in under eight months, bypassing typical delays associated with permitting and grid access. The location, about 146 miles north of Los Angeles, includes 12 stalls designed to accommodate EV drivers with trailers, enhancing usability for a broader range of vehicles. Although there is a small utility grid connection, it is primarily reserved for future expansions, with the hub relying on solar power for nearly all its
