Tesla Opens First Public Megacharger for Semi in Ontario, California

The customer-accessible site signals Tesla’s transition from fleet-only testing to a public freight-corridor network.

Overview

  • Treasla’s Semi team said the charger at 4265 E Guasti Road is now live for fleet customers, marking the first non-factory public site and the third location on Tesla’s map.
  • The Ontario station is limited to 750 kW, whereas Tesla has demonstrated up to 1.2 MW charging for the Semi in prior tests.
  • The Inland Empire location near the I-10/I-15 interchange positions the site for port-to-warehouse freight moves across Southern California.
  • Two earlier Megachargers at Giga Nevada and at a dedicated Carson, California facility have primarily served Tesla’s own operations.
  • Tesla shows 66 planned sites across 15 states and a Pilot Travel Centers partnership targeting openings by summer 2026, supporting goals of about 37 sites in 2026 and 46 by early 2027 as rivals push MCS-based deployments.
