Tesla to Open Supercharger Station in Fremont

What was an obscure car maker just a couple years ago is quickly becoming the hottest company in the auto industry. Hailed as “the new status car” and continuing to stun Wall Street with high sales, the all-electric carmaker has made their presence well known. And it will only become more ubiquitous as the company builds charging stations up and down the west coast. 

On Friday at 10 a.m., Tesla will unveil their new “Supercharger” station at their Fremont factory, located at 45500 Fremont Blvd.

It will become the 11th Supercharger station on the west coast, a network that spans from Vancouver to Los Angeles, according to the company. It will be the 18th nationwide.

The company says its stations are more powerful than any other charging technology and allows owners of the popular Model S to recharge three hours of driving in about 20 minutes.

Stations are located off of major highways near cafes, travel plazas and shopping centers.

The Fremont location will be the first in the East Bay and second in the Bay Area. A Tesla Supercharger station is currently located in Gilroy at the Gilroy Premium Outlets.
