Tesla is planning one of its largest supercharger stations yet — right in the middle of San Francisco

Tesla is preparing to construct a 124-stall Supercharger hub in San Francisco, located at 75 Waterloo Street. The ambitious project, among the largest Tesla has planned globally, is anticipated to mark a significant expansion of urban charging infrastructure, according to plans filed with the city. This proposed station would be among Tesla's largest charging hubs, catering to a growing demand for electric vehicle (EV) owners in urban areas.

The hub's strategic location at the intersection of Alemany Boulevard and Bayshore Boulevard, near Highway 101, offers several advantages. It sits at a crucial point where the 101 meets Interstate 280, providing easy access to Silicon Valley, the Peninsula, and San Francisco International Airport. Additionally, it is situated close to residential neighborhoods in Bernal Heights and Bayview.

The proposed Supercharger hub features a 416-square-foot micro-amenity building, complete with accessible restrooms, water fountains, vending machines, and space for storage and IT systems. The building will offer coffee, hot drinks, and snacks to users. However, the plans do not include solar canopies or Tesla Megapack batteries, which are common features at other Tesla's large charging hubs.

By opting for a conventional parking configuration instead of Tesla's pull-through stalls, the project aligns with the company's traditional approach to charging infrastructure. The 124-stall Supercharger hub is expected to operate 24/7, providing convenient access for EV drivers throughout the day and night. While the project is still awaiting city permitting and has no announced construction or opening date, Tesla has not responded to requests for further information.
