There’s no denying that the electric vehicle adoption has been growing at breakneck speed. We’ve gone from just 315 000 battery electric cars sold in 2014 to 10.8 million sold in 2024. Yes, that’s growing about 34 times in size in just 10 years.
This has naturally come with the corresponding need for charging infrastructure. Eleport has been working on this for quite a few years now, and you can notice that most charging sites going up today are not the 2-chargers-and-done type of deployments we all saw in the early days.
Today, the charging site deployments seem to range about 10 fast chargers per site for the bigger developers like Ionity, Tesla and Gridserve, but there are some unique cases where it just makes sense to deploy a lot more than that. We found it can be up to 25 times more, in fact.
And as you create such megahubs for charging, the whole solution from energy management, renewable generation, and amenities starts to matter even more.
These megahubs for charging are exactly what we’ve researched and compiled for you today as a unique resource you won’t find anywhere else. Here are the largest fast charging sites in the world in 2025:
1. Shell Recharge with BYD, Bao’an Airport, Shenzhen, China
Shell Recharge
Location: Bao’an Airport, Shenzhen, China
Operator: Shell Recharge and BYD as a joint venture
Chargers: 258 fast chargers (4x 480 kW, 254 x 360 kW)
Opened: 2023
This Shell Recharge hub is the largest fast-charging site in the world and is supported by a green energy setup, including a 233 kW rooftop solar array that generates around 300,000 kWh annually.
It is also now the number one EV charging hubs in Shenzhen by daily volume, serving over 3,300 customers per day, with 80% usage from commercial vehicles and 20% from taxis.
In terms of amenities, the site follows Shell’s 6-in-1 integrated concept: ultra-fast charging, solar generation, Shell Select store, Shell Café, Vehicle Energy Management (VEM) system, dining options, and car care. A staffed team and 24-hour monitoring ensure high uptime and service reliability.
2. Tesla “Oasis” Supercharger, Lost Hills, California, USA
Tesla
Location: Interstate 5 at CA-46 interchange, Kern County
Operator: Tesla
Opened: May 2025 (phase 1)
Chargers: 84 V4 Superchargers (up to 325kW) – a second identical 84-stall row is under construction for a future total of 168.
This, per our calculation, should be one of the world’s largest off-grid EV charging hubs, and the largest charging site in North America.
Tesla’s new Lost Hills complex, which just recently launched, pairs ultra-fast charging with utility-scale clean power on a single 30-acre plot. An 11 MW ground-mount plus canopy solar array feeds ten Tesla Megapacks (39 MWh), allowing most daytime charging to run off-grid. The current grid import is just 1.5 MW to support the rest.
Max de Zegher from the Tesla Supercharging team commented on the reason for the off-grid setup: “We’re working in lockstep with the utility, but due to local substation upgrade timelines, we would not have been able to meet 2025 charging demand. Although we’re typically grid-connected, in this case, we’re leveraging the full Tesla ecosystem and our vertical integration.”
There are also 12 pull-through stalls to serve trailers and RVs, and the layout is also designed for electric semi-trucks.
Amenities include a lounge and restroom, and when phase 2 is energised, Lost Hills will become Tesla’s largest single Supercharger campus.
Tesla also has a 40 x 250kW Tesla-only site in Kettleman City with a Tesla Lounge, and a 55 x 250kW at the In-N-Out on the other side of the highway right there for all EVs. It kind of adds up to 95 stalls per site, but also kind of doesn’t, so I’m noting it right here.
3. Tesla Diner & Supercharger in Hollywood, California, USA
Tesla
Location: Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Operator: Tesla
Opened: July 2024
Chargers: 80 V4 Superchargers (up to 325 kW)
Not all EV charging hubs look the same, and this one is… very different indeed.
This is the fresh Tesla flagship Supercharger location that held a grand opening on 21st of July 2025. It is a high-visibility EV charging hub with a specifically designed experience right in the middle of Los Angeles. The site includes 80 of Tesla’s latest V4 Superchargers open to all NACS-compatible vehicles. There is also 230kW of solar canopies and 10MW of power on-site.
Tesla’s Hollywood location isn’t just a charging stop; they’ve created it as a destination. The two-story futu-retro building includes a diner, rooftop seating, and a drive-in movie theater with two 66-foot LED screens that play classic films while drivers charge.
The diner offers locally sourced food with Tesla-themed packages, the food is served on roller-skates, and there is a Tesla Optimus humanoid robot serving popcorn. This Tesla site has also taken the charging hub EV integration to the next level: your Tesla offers you to order food ahead of time when navigating to this Supercharger location, the movies shown on the screens also play on Tesla’s own two screens along with the in-car sound.
As for any more EV charging hubs like this one, Elon Musk confirmed: “If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long-distance routes.”
4. Seed & Greet in Kreuz Hilden, Germany
Seed & Greet
Location: Autobahn A3/A46 interchange, Hilden (NRW), Germany
Operator: Seed & Greet (Roland Schüren) with Tesla & Fastned
Opened: October 2022 (expanded multi-brand hub)
Chargers: 62 fast chargers: 40 Tesla V3 Superchargers (250 kW) + 22 Fastned/Alpitronic HPCs (up to 300 kW) + 45 AC chargers (11 kW), and even a NIO battery swap station.
Seed & Greet began as an organic bakery with rooftop solar and grew into Europe’s first energy-positive electric car charging hub. The special part about this hub is not only the unique amenities and renewable system, it is also that we are talking about a true multi-brand hub with different charging providers under one roof, both figuratively and literally.
All 62 DC stalls sit beneath a 1 MWp solar canopy and feed from an on-site 2 MWh battery system. The excess solar generation powers the bakery’s ovens and a vertical farm inside the café. The layout is also fully drive-through, located at one of Germany’s busiest motorway triangles.
On the amenities, inside the building, the drivers find a full bakery-café, restrooms, co-working tables, and a small produce market sourced from the vertical farm. Tesla even once brought a real Tesla-branded pool for the drivers to dive in – something you don’t find in your usual EV charging hubs. Seed & Greet now averages well over 1,000 charging sessions per day and regularly hosts EV community events, so it’s no surprise it has been regarded as one of the best EV charging hubs in Europe by drivers.
5. EnBW Schnellladepark – Kamener Kreuz, Germany
EnBW
Location: A1/A2 motorway interchange near Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia
Operator: EnBW
Opened: December 2021
Chargers: 52 fast chargers (all 300 kW DC)
The fun word of Schnellladepark translates to – you guessed it – a fast charge station.
Built at Germany’s busiest motorway junction, the Kamener Kreuz hub was Europe’s largest high-power station when it launched. Every stall is a liquid-cooled 300 kW unit with dynamic load-balancing. A 120 kWp solar canopy shades the charging lanes, and the site’s medium-voltage grid link was sized for future battery storage and an additional charger row if traffic keeps climbing. Which we of course know it will.
As for amenities, there is an airy lounge-kiosk for coffee, restrooms, and basic groceries laid out in a “charge-and-go” focus. Thanks to its twin-carriageway access and 24-hour staffing, Kamener Kreuz routinely handles more than a thousand charging sessions on peak travel days.
6. WattHub XL – Geldermalsen, Netherlands
WattHub NL
Location: Logistic corridor N327, Geldermalsen (Betuwe), NL
Operator: WattHub (done as Kempower, TSG, and Betuwewind collaboration)
Opened: September 2023
Chargers: 42 fast chargers (all 400 kW DC, heavy-duty capable)
First of all, we really love the unique names the operators come up with for the EV charging hubs.
WattHub XL is the Netherlands’ first purpose-built fast-charging plaza for electric trucks, construction equipment, and long-haul vans. The 10 MW grid connection feeds forty-two 400 kW Kempower units laid out for articulated trucks, and there are extra-wide bays for oversize construction vehicles.
All electricity is supplied by Betuwewind’s local wind and solar farms, with a smart-dispatch system that minimises peak tariffs and lets fleets pre-book power slots.
As for amenities next to the EV charging hub, the drivers have access to heated restrooms, a canteen-style café, and due to the heavy-equipment needs, a secure overnight parking with CCTV. There is another WattHub being opened in summer 2025 in the Port of Rotterdam region, a larger 48 x 400 kW plaza at Maasvlakte.
7. Westmorland Gloucester Services, United Kingdom
Global Convenience Store Focus
Location: M5 motorway (Junction 11a), Gloucestershire
Operator: Westmorland Group and Tesla
Opened: May 2023, completed early 2024
Chargers: 40 fast chargers: 24 Westmorland CCS chargers (300 kW each) + 16 Tesla V3 Superchargers (250 kW)
This is another one of the co-located EV charging hubs with Westmorland as the core and Tesla presence added. Solar PV on the main roof covers daytime site demand, and Westmorland’s sustainability team is working on behind-the-meter battery storage for 2026. There is an 8 MVA grid transformer on the site boundary, giving all 40 DC chargers access to full power even at peak holiday rush.
For amenities and views, the chargers sit beside Westmorland’s farm-shop-style service building that offers local produce, glazed atrium seating, and landscaped play areas.
8. Rove Charging Center Santa Ana, California, USA
Rove
Location: Harbor Boulevard, Santa Ana, California
Operator: Rove, co-öocated with Tesla
Opened: October 2024
Chargers: 40 fast chargers (12 Rove 250 kW, 28 Tesla V4 chargers) + 24 AC chargers
Technically, Rove here would be tied to the #7 spot with Gloucester Services for the largest EV charging hubs in the world. Purpose-built as a “full-service charging center,” Rove Santa Ana combines a 1.8 MW grid feed with rooftop solar and on-site battery storage.
For amenities, there’s a glass-fronted lounge which features a local coffee bar, Wi-Fi workstations, restrooms, and grab-and-go groceries. There’s a kids’ play corner, too. Every stall is drive-through, and the site is pre-wired for a second row of DC cabinets to double capacity for the inevitable EV traffic increase.
9. Sortimo Innovationspark – Zusmarshausen, Germany
str.ucture
Location: A8 Autobahn (Munich–Stuttgart corridor), Bavaria
Operator: Sortimo and eLoaded
Opened: September 2021
Chargers: 36 fast chargers (including 12 Tesla V3 Superchargers) + 40 AC chargers
Squeezed between two major German cities, Innovationspark serves as a living lab for ultra-fast charging – this site stands out with one of the most unique designs as well. Its 36 fast chargers draw on a 3 MW medium-voltage connection, backed by a 3 MWp solar canopy and an expandable battery buffer.
As for amenities in this EV charging hub, the drivers can find a service building offering barista coffee, restrooms, co-working desks, and even meeting rooms.
With space reserved for offices and light industrial tenants, Sortimo’s campus doubles as a micro-grid demo: surplus PV feeds local loads first and the public grid second.
10. bp pulse Gigahub, NEC Birmingham, United Kingdom
bp pulse
Location: National Exhibition Centre (NEC) campus, Birmingham, West Midlands
Operator: bp pulse, with The EV Network & NEC Group
Opened: September 2023
Chargers: 30 ultra-fast chargers (30 × 300 kW DC) + 150 AC bays (7 kW each)
If you can combine the location of the EV charging hubs with an event center, it’s a lot easier to go for scale. Purpose-built to serve the UK’s biggest events venue and a major motorway node, the NEC Gigahub combines the 30 ultra-fast chargers with 150 pre-bookable 7 kW bays aimed at show-goers parked for several hours. An 8 MVA high-voltage transformer on the site ensures the ability to add more ultra-fast cabinets as demand climbs.
On amenities, a Starbucks drive-thru is located on the forecourt, while NEC’s existing cafés, washrooms and retail are a short walk away. The partnership structure is unusual: The EV Network financed and built the hub, bp pulse operates it, and the NEC Group provides the land and footfall of seven million annual visitors.
11. Gridserve Electric Forecourt – Gatwick, United Kingdom
Gridserve
Location: Gatwick Airport South Terminal perimeter, West Sussex
Operator: Gridserve (with Tesla co-locating)
Opened: January 2024
Chargers: 26 fast chargers (22x Gridserve 350 kW chargers, 4x Tesla V3 chargers) + 4x AC 22kW chargers
As with the largest EV charging hub in the world we started out with, Gridserve’s Gatwick Forecourt is also right by an airport, but this one is more aimed to private EV drivers.
There is a large purpose-built building that you will certainly recognize as Gridserve once familiar, and it includes a lounge with barista coffee, grab-and-go meals, meeting pods, and even EV displays. A dedicated 6 MVA import / 6 MW export grid transformer feeds the site, while a 6 MWh battery is there to smooth peaks and allow grid-service revenue stacking.
12. Eleport at Akropolis Shopping Center, Kaunas, Lithuania
Eleport
Location: Akropolis Shopping Center, Kaunas
Operators: Eleport
Opened: May 2024
Chargers: 12 fast chargers (24 fast charging points), along with 8 AC 22kW chargers (16 AV charging points), with specific plans to double.
While there are a few sites across the world that would fit somewhere in between this and the Gridserve site we noted previously, Eleport’s Kaunas EV charging hub deserves a special mention as the largest public EV site in Central and Eastern Europe. The chargers here are located across the different parts of the shopping centre building, right where it makes most sense for ease of access.
Eleport says the total capacity of the charging point in Akropolis is 1,552 kW, the majority of which, 1,200 kW, is intended for fast charging. After the second phase, which will be completed in 2027, the total capacity of the Kaunas Akropolis EV charging hub will exceed 3 MW.
The amenities in and around a shopping center are a clear win, should the driver go for any of the 220 shops, restaurants, or entertainment venues on site.
Where do the EV charging hubs go from here?
Well, there’s only one way to go, really: bigger. And more of them.
Just five years ago, a 10-stall car charging hub was headline news. Today, China’s Shell + BYD hub in Shenzhen runs 258 ultra-fast plugs, Tesla’s solar-and-storage campus at Lost Hills is opening with 84 stalls, doubling to 168 soon. And as we’ve detailed, there are already many large EV charging hubs in Europe that give an actual reason to stop there with your EV as a destination.
Now that these large sites have been built and validated, learnings will be carried on to the next such projects and applied wherever the operators anticipate enough EVs flowing through to make the utilization worth the grand hub buildout. We’ll keep an eye on any new noteworthy sites going live.
