From desert to powerhouse: Inside Tesla’s 11 MW Oasis Supercharger solar farm powering 1,000 cars a day


Instead of simply drawing electricity from the grid, the site generates, stores and distributes its own power, positioning itself as a self-sustaining system built for the next phase of electric mobility.The project comes as EV adoption accelerates and infrastructure struggles to keep pace. The Oasis model challenges conventional assumptions about charging networks, offering a decentralised, renewable-powered solution that could reshape how EV infrastructure is deployed in the future.At first glance, the Oasis Supercharger impresses purely on scale.With 164 V4 Supercharger stalls capable of delivering up to 325 kW each, it ranks among the largest charging sites ever built. The solar canopies provide shade in the intense Californian heat, while landscaped areas, seating and lounge-like spaces offer a more comfortable environment for drivers waiting to charge.Facilities such as clean, app-access restrooms and dedicated waiting areas reflect an understanding that charging is not just a technical process but a behavioural one.
