Tesla opened the Oasis Supercharger in Lost Hills, California, its largest charging station to date, equipped with 168 charging stations. This complex represents a leap in capacity and energy autonomy, running on 11 megawatts of solar power and 10 Tesla Megapacks that store up to 39 MWh.
Fast charging for almost 10,000 cars per day
With continuous operation, the site has the potential to charge up to 4,896 vehicles in just 12 hours, which translates to a theoretical capacity of nearly 10,000 EVs per day. This makes the Oasis a key player in Tesla’s electric mobility ecosystem in North America.
The unfolded solar systemsystem, together with the Megapacksallows the station to operate disconnected from the grid during peak consumption or failures. In its initial phase, it will only have access to 1.5 MW from the local grid, so the energy strategy is essential for its full operation.
Efficient supercharger design
According to the news portal Not a Tesla App, which specializes in Tesla, the Oasis spans more than 12 hectares (40 acres) and includes canopies for solar protection and energy efficiency. This station is not only Tesla’s largest, it is also looking to become a model for future charging infrastructure. infrastructure.
Although still below the charging complex in Shenzhen, China (with 637 stations), the Oasis marks an achievement in the United States. With proprietary technology and integrated solutions, Tesla reaffirms its vision of total control over its energy and charging network.
Installed capacity is expected to increase as Tesla works with the local electric utility to expand the grid connection. The goal is to operate all 168 stations simultaneously, cementing Oasis as a global benchmark for electric vehicle charging stations.
