In a new post from Strathbogie Shire Council, the council responsible for the Victorian regional city of Euroa, they have opened comments on a proposal by Tesla to expand its Supercharger.

Tesla is proposing to expand and improve its facilities, first installed in 2016, at the Council-owned car park on the corner of Kirkland Avenue and Bury Street, increasing the number of charging stations from 6 to 10 and including new CCTV infrastructure in the car park.

I have personally charged at the Euroa Supercharger many times since 2016 with review vehicles at first, then with my own since 2019. Over the years the growth in the number of charges at different times of the week has increased steadily and at peak times there have been examples of all 6 charging bays being occupied.

If successful (I certainly hope it is), this will be in addition to the 4 DC chargers at the nearby Euroa service station, bringing the total number of chargers to 14 – not bad for a city with a population of <5000 residents.

It is a strategic location along the Hume Highway between Wodonga and Melbourne. While charging, EV owners have the opportunity to take a walk in the park adjacent to the Supercharger, use the restrooms, purchase a coffee at the café, and support local business owners.

What is proposed?

The proposal includes:

• Renewal of Tesla license to continue operating at the site.
• Increase the number of charging stations from six to 10.
• Updating chargers to the latest Tesla V4 technology.
• Allow all compatible electric vehicle brands to use the charging stations.
• Use of four additional parking spaces.
• Installation of CCTV to improve safety and security.

All costs of installation, operation, maintenance and removal of the charging infrastructure will be borne by Tesla. There would be no cost to the Council.

Before making a decision on the proposed licensing agreement, Council wants to hear from the community. The consultation is open from July 22 to August 11, 2026.
