Permits Filed for 96-Stall V4 Supercharger Hub in Willows, California

EV Charging Stations reported on June 14, 2026 that Tesla plans another large Supercharging hub in California with nearly 100 DC fast-charging stalls.

According to permit filings discovered by MarcoRP (@MarcoRPi1 on X), the site in Willows, California, along Interstate 5, will feature 96 Supercharging stalls behind a Starbucks off N Humboldt Ave.

The project is divided into two phases. Phase one includes 56 stalls, two solar canopies, a Tesla Megapack battery energy storage system, and a prefabricated amenity building.

Phase two will add 40 more stalls and expand the amenity building.

Images in the filings indicate Tesla V4 Superchargers rated at 500 kW, with twelve 1.2-MW power electronics cabinets each supporting eight stalls marked A through H.

With 96 stalls, the Willows site would become one of the largest Supercharger locations in the world, though still smaller than the 164-stall site in Lost Hills, California.

Separate reports cited in the piece mention even larger planned sites in Firebaugh and Yermo, California, but those projects may take years to build.

Willows is not a destination. It is a mile marker on the drive between San Francisco and Portland, and exactly where I-5 road trips live or die on charging luck.

A 96-stall hub with V4 hardware, solar canopies, and on-site storage is infrastructure news that actually changes weekend planning for Bay Area and Seattle families who treat the corridor like a hallway.

Phase one at 56 stalls still beats most entire counties.

Phase two at 96 is the kind of scale that turns "maybe we can take the EV" into "pack the kids and go" if the amenity building delivers real bathrooms and coffee instead of a vending machine under a canopy.

Asian American and Asian Canadian readers split between California and the Pacific Northwest should read this as a PNW and NorCal corridor upgrade, not a Tesla fan club post.

Non-Tesla drivers still care because massive hubs reduce line pressure on neighboring sites and normalize fast charging along a route many diaspora households drive for family visits.

The Megapack detail matters for reliability.

Grid constraints have slowed big charging projects before.

On-site storage and solar are how operators keep stalls open when summer heat or utility peaks make naive plans fail.

Do not rewrite your purchase around a permit filing.

Construction timelines slip.

Amenity buildings get value-engineered.

But if you are comparing a Model Y road trip against a RAV4 Hybrid for Seattle to Vancouver or SF to Tahoe loops, this is the kind of node that shifts the calculator.

Parents who street-park in Vancouver or rent in Burnaby still need building charging answers.

Corridor hubs do not fix condo life.

Suburban Bellevue and Richmond BC households visiting each other across the border feel this differently.

For them, I-5 reliability is family logistics, not enthusiast trivia.

Watch whether phase one opens before peak summer travel.

That is when a permit story becomes a real stop on your map.
