Tesla is building its largest Supercharger station to date in Barstow, Nevada, a town located in the Mojave Desert some 115 miles from Los Angeles and 156 miles from Las Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement was made by Barstow Mayor Paul Cortney during a city council meeting earlier this week. He revealed that Tesla<\/a> is already months into construction of the charging hub, which will be America’s largest with no fewer than 100 Supercharger stalls.<\/p>\n

According to a report from the Daily Press<\/em>, the Supercharger station is located near The Outlets at Barstow open-air retail mall and occupies roughly four acres of desert.\u00a0The mayor called the Tesla Supercharger project a “historic win<\/em>” for the city and added that Southern California Edison has a May 30 deadline to pump excess power into the upcoming Supercharger.<\/p>\n

“Actions and results speak. Prior to going to the SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) meeting a week and a half ago, there was a possible issue that we do not have enough power out in Lenwood for the first phase of a Tesla charging units. One-hundred units projected. The largest charging station in the U.S., right out there. It’s the potential of not having enough power for phase one. Well, long story short, we got a commitment from Edison to have enough power for phase one by Memorial Day to open up the first leg of the Tesla charging stations.”<\/p>\n

The size of the project has not gone unnoticed on social media in recent months.\u00a0In February,\u00a0@MarcoRPTesla<\/em>, a Tesla fan who is tracking the expansion of the Supercharger network<\/a>, posted images of the Barstow Supercharger station’s construction.<\/p>\n

He noted that the site seemed surprisingly large, estimating that it could have around 60-80 Supercharger stalls and possibly even a lounge.\u00a0In light of the mayor’s recent disclosure, it turns out the EV advocate’s\u00a0estimate was quite conservative.<\/p>\n

Currently, the largest charging station in the US is a 70-space Tesla Supercharger hub at The Outlets at Tejon, an open-air retail center in the San Joaquin Valley in central California. China has the world’s largest electric car charging station; located in the city of Shenzhen, it has a reported 637 spots.<\/p>\n
