Tesla has deployed mobile MegapackChargers at select locations across the United States to assist electric vehicle owners during the busy holiday season.

These mobile charging units are strategically placed in four locations: Bakersfield, CA; Primm, NV; El Centro, CA; and Cambridge, OH, which have historically experienced congestion during peak travel times.

The mobile chargers are designed to alleviate pressure on Supercharger stations, providing additional capacity while allowing nearby Superchargers to temporarily go offline for maintenance.

Each Megapack Charger has a capacity of 3 MWh and is equipped with eight 250 kW charging posts, enabling them to charge approximately 75 vehicles simultaneously.

The chargers are connected to Starlink for improved connectivity, which enhances operational efficiency during high-demand periods and emergencies.

The introduction of these MegapackChargers reflects a broader trend toward improving electric vehicle infrastructure in response to the growing adoption of EVs.

Tesla's navigation system has been upgraded to help drivers locate available Supercharger stations, thereby reducing potential wait times.

These mobile chargers can deliver charging speeds of up to 150 kW, making them effective in managing temporary demand spikes.

The additional charging capacity is supported by Tesla's Megapack energy storage units, which enhance overall charging efficiency.

Max de Zegher, Tesla's Director of Charging for North America, highlighted that these chargers are particularly effective in addressing temporary congestion and disruptions, such as those caused by natural disasters.

Originally introduced in November 2019, the MegapackChargers have been utilized not only for holiday travel but also in response to natural disasters.

Tesla has a history of deploying mobile Superchargers, previously responding to Hurricane Milton in October 2024, showcasing their commitment to enhancing EV infrastructure.
