Tesla Supercharger site with V4 posts
Tesla Supercharger hosting

Turn your parking spots into a revenue stream.

Those stalls earn nothing today. Host a Tesla Supercharger and they generate charging revenue, pull in drivers who spend on site, and put your property in every Tesla’s navigation. You own the site and set the price. Tesla runs the network. Bullet EV builds it.

The case

A Supercharger does not just sell electricity.

It changes who shows up. Tesla surveyed drivers at a large national retailer hosting Superchargers, and the pattern was not subtle.

How hosting works

Who does what

Tesla splits a host site into ten areas. It owns seven of them. You own pricing, branding and everyday site upkeep — and the installation, which is the piece Bullet EV takes off your plate.

You, the site host

  • Provide the location and dedicated stalls
  • Own the charging equipment
  • Set the price drivers pay per kWh
  • Collect the charging revenue

Tesla

  • Lists the site in every Tesla’s navigation
  • Runs the software, payments and driver support
  • Covers network operations and maintenance for a per-kWh services fee
  • Keeps the network at 99.95% uptime (Tesla-reported, 2024)

Bullet EV

  • Site evaluation and custom ROI report
  • Design, permitting and utility coordination
  • Construction, commissioning and activation
  • Incentive research and applications
The Tesla package

One fee. Tesla handles the rest.

Everything below is part of the Tesla Supercharger for Business package, charged at $0.10 per kWh delivered. There is no separate software subscription, maintenance contract or payment-processing bill — Tesla operates it all, and the fee comes out of the revenue before it reaches you.

Uptime and warranty

97% uptime guarantee, 10+ year equipment warranty covering parts and labor, and annual preventative maintenance by Tesla technicians.

Trip Planner routing

Your site is added to Tesla Trip Planner and in-vehicle navigation. Host sites that join see roughly 3× the utilization.

Payments handled

Card processing fees and dispute resolution are absorbed by Tesla, then your revenue is paid out automatically on a set schedule.

Plug & Charge

Works from day one, and keeps working without connectivity. Billing resumes automatically once the site reconnects.

Live availability

Real-time stall occupancy, wait times and outage reporting so drivers are never routed to a full or down site.

Tesla for Business portal

Full session data, monthly usage reports, uptime insight and pricing controls, plus utility rate and tariff optimization.

Connectivity and updates

Tesla manages and pays for the site internet connection, and ships firmware and new features quarterly at no extra charge.

The hardware

Tesla supplies the whole system.

Owner economics

What drives the return

  • Pricing you control. Revenue is energy delivered times your price per kWh, net of electricity and Tesla’s services fee.
  • Utilization that compounds. EV adoption keeps rising, so a site that starts at moderate utilization typically grows year over year.
  • Foot traffic you would not otherwise get. The charging revenue is one line. Drivers who now stop at your property, and spend while they wait, are the other.
  • Property value and tenancy. A Supercharger is an amenity that shows up in leasing conversations and in every Tesla’s navigation.

Questions

Supercharger hosting FAQ

How does hosting a Tesla Supercharger work?

You provide the location and own the charging equipment. Tesla lists the site in every Tesla’s navigation, handles the driver experience, payments and network operations for a per-kWh services fee, and you set the price drivers pay. Bullet EV designs, permits and builds the site and gets it activated on the Tesla network.

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 does a Supercharger site cost to install?

Turnkey installation typically ranges from roughly $35k to $65k per charger before equipment, depending on the site, distance to power, trenching and utility requirements. The ROI calculator shows how equipment, install and incentives combine into a project total.

Are there incentives for Supercharger installations?

Programs depend on the location, utility and installation date. The federal Section 30C credit is unavailable for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. We help research current state, local and utility programs; confirm eligibility with the program administrator and your tax advisor.

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.

Who owns and maintains the equipment?

You own the site equipment. Tesla covers software, network operations, service and payment processing through its per-kWh services fee, so there is no separate operations vendor to manage.

Can non-Tesla vehicles use the chargers?

Tesla Superchargers use the North American Charging Standard (NACS), which most major automakers have adopted. Many non-Tesla EVs can already charge on the Supercharger network with an adapter or a native NACS port, and that share is growing every model year.
