"The Firebaugh, California Supercharger is currently 72 Superchargers, but Tesla filed for an expansion that will add 232 additional plugs for passenger vehicles, and it also plans to add 16 Semichargers. This will be the biggest Supercharger station Tesla will have to date, just months after it finished the Supercharger Oasis in Lost Hills, California, which has 168 stalls. This will have 304 total Supercharger stalls, and then the additional 16 Megachargers."
"The expansion is a massive signal for charging demand, especially as Tesla's Superchargers are opened to numerous automakers and are no longer exclusive to the company's EVs. Additionally, the installation of Megachargers is a good sign to come for the Tesla Semi program, which aims to truly ramp up this year. Tesla plans to launch production of the Semi later this year."
The Firebaugh Supercharger in California currently contains 72 stalls and sits on Interstate 5. Tesla filed to expand the site by adding 232 passenger-vehicle plugs and 16 Megachargers for Semis, bringing the total to 304 Supercharger stalls and 16 Megachargers. The I-5 location targets heavy truck traffic to support Semi operations. The expansion follows the 168-stall Lost Hills Oasis and would become Tesla's largest Supercharger hub. Opening Superchargers to other automakers increases network demand, and Megacharger installation signals acceleration of Tesla Semi production plans later this year.
