Tesla opens the Southern Hemisphere's largest Supercharger site in NSW

Tesla has opened its largest Supercharger electric vehicle (EV) charging station in the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s just over two hours’ drive from Sydney, New South Wales. 

The new station in Lockyer Street, Goulburn – in the shadow of the ‘Big Merino’ landmark – includes 20 V4 Supercharger stalls providing charging speeds of up to 300kW to EVs using a CCS2-compatible port. 

It’s the largest of all 119 Tesla charging stations across Australia and complements the existing eight-stall Tesla station in the regional city, which offers 130kW charging at 201 Sloane Street. 

Pricing at the time of writing was 0.52c/kWh for Tesla vehicles, and 0.73c/kWh for other brands of EV with idling fees of “up to” $1.00/minute for all EVs.

The new station is the ninth Tesla Supercharging point along the Hume Highway – or cities off the Hume – between Sydney and Melbourne.

The previous largest along the route was at Albury where 16 charging ports are located. 

It means a standard Tesla Model Y, with 466km of range, can theoretically travel between Sydney and Melbourne – an 876km distance between CBDs – making only a single stop if it starts its journey with a full battery.

The Long Range Model Y, which scored a bigger battery in July 2025 to boost range from 551km to 600km – can theoretically do the same with charge to spare. 

Tesla dominates the charging network in Australia as it does in other countries, such as its home market of the United States.

It currently has a roughly one-third share of almost 400 ‘ultra fast’ (100kW or faster) charging sites operating nationally, according to the Electric Vehicle Council. Rivals, such as Zeekr – which is owned by Geely, parent company to EV maker Polestar, Volvo and Lotus – also has ambitions to build a charging network of its own as it expands its model lineup in Australia.

Australia’s first National Electric Vehicle Strategy was released in 2023 with a goal to “increase the uptake of EVs to reduce our emissions and improve the well-being of Australians”. 

Last updated in July 2025, a key objective included establishing “the resources, systems and infrastructure to enable rapid EV uptake”. 

The latest goals include charging stations on major highways at intervals of no more than 150km, a measure Tesla has already largely achieved between Sydney and Melbourne as well as between Sydney and Brisbane.
