Tesla is building a new Supercharger station in Maspeth, Queens, at 48-26 54th Road, and it’s big enough to change how you’d plan a charging stop in or around New York City.
What’s going in
The site is planned for 64 to 68 stalls, which puts it in a tie with Halifax, North Carolina for the largest Supercharger station on the East Coast — not an outright record, despite some headlines calling it the biggest. It includes two pull-through stalls built for EVs towing trailers, and sits right off I-495, making it a practical road-trip charging stop for drivers heading between Long Island and Manhattan.
Why it matters for city charging
Manhattan currently has five Supercharger locations, but most offer only about four stalls each — nowhere near enough for peak demand. Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx have more available real estate and heavy through-traffic, which is why Tesla has been expanding into the outer boroughs rather than trying to squeeze more stalls into Manhattan itself.

The video is one creator’s take on the project; the stall count, location, and comparison to other East Coast stations above come from Teslarati’s reporting, not the video itself.
