First Tesla Supercharger for Business site opens in Florida

Tesla has reached a new milestone in its Supercharging strategy, opening the first Supercharger for Business location in North America. The site, located in Land O’ Lakes, Florida, marks the debut of a new model in which the station is owned by a third party but fully managed by Tesla, expanding the ecosystem beyond the company’s traditional infrastructure footprint.

Located at 16954 Focus Loop, the Land O’ Lakes installation features eight V3 Superchargers capable of delivering up to 325 kW. Like most of Tesla’s installations, the site is open 24/7 and includes an integrated adapter system, allowing seamless access for non-Tesla EVs without requiring drivers to bring their own NACS–CCS adapter.

As part of the program, these Superchargers don’t carry Tesla’s branding—instead, they display the logo of the business that owns the site. In this case, that’s Suncoast Charging.

Charging at the new Land O’ Lakes station costs $0.45/kWh, regardless of whether the driver owns a Tesla or another EV. That rate is higher for Tesla drivers compared to nearby Tesla-owned stations that sit around $0.38/kWh, but slightly cheaper for non-Tesla EVs, who typically pay $0.46/kWh at neighbouring sites

This location is the first to officially launch under Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program, a recent offering that lets property owners install their own Supercharger stations while Tesla handles the day-to-day management, uptime, and billing. Tesla provides the hardware, software, and operational backbone, while businesses supply the site, utilities, and investment.

Designed for retail plazas, hotels, gas stations, and fleet hubs, the program aims to rapidly increase charging availability without requiring Tesla to purchase land or build every site itself. By shifting to a model similar to Destination Charging—but with Supercharger-level speeds—Tesla can scale far more aggressively as EV adoption accelerates.

These third-party owned Supercharger sites appear on Tesla’s navigation and website, giving local businesses the same exposure as Tesla-owned stations.

With Tesla now operating more than 75,000 Supercharger posts worldwide, programs like Supercharger for Business may become a major contributor to future growth. And as more automakers adopt NACS, third-party-hosted stations will play a critical role in supporting the broader EV ecosystem.
