Planning documents reviewed by Business Insider show the proposed site at 75 Waterloo Street, close to the junction of Highway 101 and Interstate 280.
The plans show 124 conventional parking stalls and a small amenities building. The site is intended to operate 24 hours a day, but it has not yet received final approval and no construction or opening date has been confirmed.
Editor note
Tesla’s V4 Supercharger is the latest generation of its DC fast-charging hardware. It uses a longer 3 m charging cable to accommodate a wider range of vehicle charging-port positions and is designed to support Tesla and compatible non-Tesla EVs. Tesla’s latest V4 stations support 400–1,000 V vehicle architectures and can deliver up to 500 kW per charging post, although the actual charging rate depends on the vehicle and site configuration.
A large charging hub in an urban market
Very large charging sites are more commonly associated with major road corridors and locations where land is easier to secure. The Waterloo Street proposal would place 124 charging stalls inside San Francisco, close to residential areas as well as major routes towards the Peninsula and San Francisco International Airport.
That changes the likely demand profile. A site in this location could serve long-distance traffic, commuters and drivers who do not have reliable charging at home.
The plans include basic driver amenities
The submitted design includes a roughly 416 sq ft amenities building with accessible toilets, water fountains and vending facilities.
The charging bays use a conventional parking arrangement rather than pull-through spaces. Business Insider also reports that the current plans do not show solar canopies or Tesla Megapack battery storage.
For a site of this scale, the eventual grid connection and operating strategy will be important, but the published planning information does not yet establish how much power will be available across the site during periods of high simultaneous demand.
The project is still at planning stage
The proposal remains subject to the city’s permitting process. Tesla has not announced a construction programme or opening date.
Until those approvals are in place, the 124-stall figure should be treated as a proposed design rather than a confirmed future charging site.
