What does a property need to host a Tesla Supercharger?
A Supercharger site needs a block of parking you can dedicate to charging (typically 8 or more stalls), enough utility power or a realistic path to it, easy access from a major road, and 24/7 opening with restrooms, food or drink nearby, kept lit and in good repair. Parking, power and access decide whether a site earns; hours, amenities and upkeep decide whether drivers have a good stop.

Bullet EV Charging Solutions is a Tesla-certified Supercharger installer. We walk every one of these points on a free site assessment. This page lists them in the order owners usually ask, and shows what the Texas sites we have finished actually look like.
1. Parking you can dedicate to charging
You need a contiguous block of stalls you can commit to charging, with room for drivers to maneuver. Tesla sites are typically built in groups of at least 4 posts, and most commercial sites we scope land between 8 and 16 stalls.
The 17 finished Texas Supercharger sites with a project page on this site range from 4 to 34 stalls, and 13 of them fall between 8 and 16. The ROI calculator lets you compare stall counts for your own property.
2. Power, or a path to it
The site needs existing utility capacity, or a realistic path to a new service. You do not have to work this out yourself: we run the utility application as part of the project. The utility is usually the longest step in the schedule, and we manage it.
Tesla supplies the charging hardware. A V4 cabinet shares power across the site and sits away from the stalls, and each V4 post delivers up to 500 kW. The posts are compact and need no ventilation enclosure, so the parking area itself stays open.
3. Visibility and access
The best sites are on or near a major corridor, visible from the road, with simple in-and-out for drivers who are following their car’s navigation. Being near a highway or a dense residential area helps, but strong local demand matters more than any single factor.
4. Open 24/7
Drivers must be able to reach the chargers at any hour: no barriers, gates, time limits or seasonal closures. That keeps the site usable for drivers whose trip planner sends them there in the middle of the night.
5. Amenities within a minute’s walk
Restrooms, food or drink, seating and trash cans, reliably open through charging hours. It is good business too: in Tesla’s survey of drivers at a large national retailer hosting Superchargers, 85% spent money on site while they charged (source: Tesla Supercharger for Business, as cited on our Supercharger hosting page).
6. Lighting and upkeep
Every stall and pathway well lit, and the lot kept free of potholes and overgrowth. As host you keep the site lit, tidy and open; Tesla handles the chargers themselves, including maintenance, software and payments, inside its $0.10 per kWh services fee.
What kinds of property qualify
In Texas the Supercharger sites we have built include fuel stations and travel centers, barbecue restaurants on highway routes, and retail centers in the cities. If your property fits destination charging better than a Supercharger, for example a hotel or apartment building where cars stay for hours, we will say so and scope Level 2 charging instead; see commercial Level 2 charging.

Common follow-up questions
What makes a property a good Supercharger site?
Visibility from a major road, easy in-and-out access, parking you can dedicate to charging (typically 8 or more stalls), nearby amenities like food, restrooms and retail, and enough utility capacity to serve the site or a practical path to add it. Being near a highway corridor or a dense residential area helps, but strong local demand matters more than any single factor.
How many stalls do I need?
Tesla sites are typically built in groups of at least 4 posts. Most commercial sites we scope land between 8 and 16 stalls, and the ROI model on this site lets you compare scenarios.
What about Level 2 charging or non-Tesla hardware?
We install Level 2 charging from ChargePoint, EV Connect, Xeal and Tesla for hotels, dealerships, multifamily, fleets and offices. If your property fits a destination-charging profile better than a Supercharger profile, we will say so.
How long does a project take?
Site qualification and an ROI report take days. From signed agreement to an active site, most projects take several months, with utility service upgrades and permitting being the long poles. We manage both.
What does the site assessment cost?
Nothing. The qualifier, the initial ROI report and the first call are free and carry no obligation.
