Tesla plans Australia’s biggest EV charging site, with more than 25 bays

Tesla last opened the biggest fast charging site in Australia, a 20-stall Supercharger facility in the city of Goulburn in NSW, making trips in an EV between Sydney and Canberra a whole lot easier.

Now, plans for an even larger site has been spotted by Charles G, an avid reader of The Driven and a Tesla Supercharger enthusiast.

Site plans of this upcoming site show that it will be located in the town of Mackay in Queensland, with more than 25 stalls.

These are likely to be V4 supercharger stalls capable of up to 250 kW of peak charging power per bay. 

As mentioned above, Tesla’s current largest site is in Goulburn, NSW, and at the time of its opening, Tesla’s country director for Australia and New Zealand, Thom Drew said that it’s also the largest site in the southern hemisphere and is open to all CCS2 compatible vehicles.

Over the last 12 months, Tesla has continued to increase the number of sites it operates across the country, adding nearly 20 sites since August 2025.

Many of these sites were opened in Q4, ahead of the Christmas and New Years holiday period which significantly reduced congestion over the summer periods.

As of March 2026, in Australia, Tesla is now operating 148 active sites, according to the latest data from carloop.

Over 80 sites, which make up nearly two-thirds of all Tesla sites in Australia, are open to non-Tesla EVs, allowing all drivers with compatible cars to charge at the country’s most reliable charging network.

 Over the years, we have seen the size of the larger sites grow. In December 2023, Tesla opened what was then deemed the biggest fast-charging site in Australia in the town of Albury. That side had 16 V4 supercharger stalls.

 In 2025, as highlighted above, the number of stalls was ramped up to 20 in Goulburn. It’s also worth noting that both of these Tesla sites have been co-funded by the NSW government as part of the state’s Fast Charging Grants Scheme.

With the rising number of EVs making it onto the roads every month, major thoroughfares will see bigger sites in the coming years, including the one spotted by Charles G in Mackay.

It’s great to see Tesla leading the charge with building bigger sites, as it should also encourage other operators to build bigger and better charging hubs across the country, helping more ICE drivers feel confident in making the switch to cleaner EVs.

  • But all those comments from people in these forums after the supercharger team was fired?
    How are they still installing so many chargers?

    • Replaced by people who don't question.... QED.
      .....and mustn't forget the taxpayer subsidy for universality..... right ?
      (Riz/Carloop cross promotion?)

    • We've been through this several times; it's almost like you're deliberately misleading people. Man-baby reversed his knee-jerk decision shortly after it was made.

    • Keep up. They were rehired shortly thereafter. But you people, yes, YOU PEOPLE, (EV haters) ONLY ever like to see the negative.

      Guess what? It's ALL POSITIVE when it comes to Teslas and their AMAZING supercharging infrastructure.

    • Simple Tesla got rid of the deadwood and re-employed the good ones. Result is more chargers getting installed worldwide now than ever before.

    • How are they still installing so many chargers?“

      They aren’t - at least not in this case.

      This article is WRONG. This is NOT a Tesla Supercharger.

      The company behind this application is called RoadPort. Not Tesla.

  • There appears to be a new site planned for North Parramatta on Victoria Road. Probably in underground car park next to Coles or the level below.

  • I don't believe it says anywhere that the chargers are to be delpoyed by Tesla?

    What I believe Roadport is showing is that EV charging infrastructure will be provisioned for (such as conduits and the like). Some newer shopping centres and service centres are provisioning for it for the future, and a lot of it is for 3-phase AC.

    I would find it crazy if Tesla invested that much infrastructure in Mackay, given the low EV uptake in the area, as well as very low highway traffic in Far North Queensland along the Bruce Hwy! I'd get 6 or 8 bays, but not 25!

  • Amazing, the anti-renewables Mackay City Council just helped get the call-in of the Pleystowe BESS by the anti-renewables LNP State Government.
    Maybe Tesla is sticking it up them by installing this supercharger station, hopefully they already have planning approval from the Council.

  • This article is WRONG. There is no evidence this will be a Tesla Supercharger.

    The company behind this application is called RoadPort.

    Worse still, this misinformation has now spread around the globe, and every EV site is now carrying a false story 🤷‍♂️

  • How about a multiple charging bay site for Newcastle residents. The largest regional town in NSW.
