World's largest Tesla charging station coming to Florida's Turnpike
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. - Soon, Tesla drivers who want to drive from Central Florida to South Florida will have an option to stop and charge. Tesla is planning to build a massive supercharger site along Florida's Turnpike in Osceola County.
The site is expected to be the world’s largest.
GPD group, an engineering company, released a rendering of the project. Tesla will build 200 stalls at exit 193 – aka the Yeehaw Junction exit.
"That just shows you the number of (electric vehicles) that are going to be around, that people are driving," says Shav, a Tesla driver.

Recently, Tesla started rolling out "Supercharger access" to other E-V brands like Ford and Rivian.
