Tesla's Mobile Megapacks Tackle Holiday Travel Congestion
Tesla is addressing holiday travel congestion by deploying mobile Megapack chargers at busy Supercharger stations worldwide. The company anticipates record demand this season, forecasting 20 GWh of energy usage per day globally.
Tesla has introduced mobile Megapack chargers to reduce queues at popular Supercharger locations. Each unit, with a 3 MWh capacity, can charge around 75 vehicles at up to 250 kW per stall. Four such chargers have been deployed in high-traffic areas like Bakersfield, CA; Primm, NV; El Centro, CA; and Cambridge, OH.
These mobile chargers, trailer-mounted units combining Tesla's Megapack battery storage system with eight Supercharger stalls, offer a clean energy alternative to traditional diesel-powered generators. Tesla's navigation system now includes real-time availability of these mobile chargers, helping drivers plan their routes effectively. According to Tesla's Director of Charging for North America, Max de Zegher, these units can mitigate bottlenecks and support disaster relief efforts.
Tesla's deployment of mobile Megapack chargers demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and addressing congestion on its Supercharger network. By using clean energy stored in Megapacks, the company is reinforcing its dedication to clean energy during peak travel seasons.
