Tesla Plans 124-Stall V4 Supercharger Hub in San Francisco

Tesla is planning a 124-stall V4 Supercharger hub at 75 Waterloo Street in San Francisco, a rare large-scale urban charging project that would expand public EV charging capacity in the city.

Tesla is planning a 124-stall V4 Supercharger hub at 75 Waterloo Street, according to plans filed with the city of San Francisco. The site is described as a triangular vehicle storage lot near Alemany Boulevard and Bayshore Boulevard, alongside Highway 101. Business Insider reports the project would significantly expand public charging capacity in the city and would be among Tesla’s largest charging stations globally.

Why the Location Matters

The planned hub sits near a major crossroads where Highway 101 meets Interstate 280, with access toward the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, and San Francisco International Airport. It is also not far from Bernal Heights and the Bayview, areas with significant residential populations. That urban placement is notable because Tesla’s biggest hubs are typically built along interstate corridors where land is cheaper and road-trip demand is concentrated.

How It Compares With Other Tesla Charging Hubs

The 124-stall proposal would be far larger than Tesla’s planned V4 Supercharger at 25 Mason Street near Market Street, which would have 35 stalls. Business Insider also cites Tesla charging locations including a 200-stall station in Yeehaw Junction, Florida, and a 164-stall station in Kern County, California. The Kern County site became fully operational in November 2025, while the Florida hub has yet to open.

Amenities, Layout, and What Is Not Included

Maps submitted to the city show the San Francisco hub would use a conventional parking configuration rather than pull-through stalls Tesla has introduced at some newer sites. The plans indicate 24-hour operation and a roughly 416-square-foot “micro-amenity” building with two gender-neutral, accessible restrooms, diaper-changing stations, water fountains, vending machines, and space for storage, cleaning equipment, security, and IT systems. The vending area would offer coffee, hot drinks, and snacks. The plans do not appear to include solar canopies or Tesla Megapack batteries.

What Happens Next

The latest version of the application was submitted on July 29, but the project still needs to move through San Francisco’s permitting process. No construction date or opening date has been announced. Tesla did not respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
