Tesla Building Robotaxi-Only Supercharger Stations — First Permits Filed in Arizona
Max de Zegher, who runs Tesla's North American charging network, confirmed Tesla is building Supercharger stations exclusively for its Robotaxi fleet — with permits filed for 56 V4 stalls across two private sites in Chandler and Mesa, Arizona, that won't be open to the public. Today's Robotaxis (Model Y-based) still rely on a human plugging them in overnight at public Superchargers, so dedicated infrastructure is a step toward fully unattended operation.
Until now, Tesla's Robotaxis have had one very human dependency: someone has to physically plug them in overnight at public Superchargers to keep the fleet charged.
De Zegher said Tesla is closing that gap with dedicated Robotaxi-only Supercharger stations. The company has filed permits for 56 V4 stalls split between two private sites in Chandler and Mesa, Arizona — neither open to the public.
These stations are built for the current Model Y-based Robotaxi fleet, which charges via a conventional plug. The purpose-built Cybercab uses wireless inductive charging instead, so it will need separate infrastructure down the line.
De Zegher also pointed to a longer-term goal: fully automated stations where no human needs to plug the car in at all — the next piece in making Robotaxi operations, not just driving, but charging, hands-off.
