Tesla has expanded its Supercharger site at Lockyer Street in Goulburn, New South Wales, from 20 to 28 bays, making it Australia’s largest active electric-vehicle fast-charging location. The upgrade, reported in mid-November, comes ahead of the busy Christmas and New Year travel period on the Sydney to Canberra corridor.
The site opened in August 2025 as a 20-stall V4 Supercharger at 5 Lockyer Street, close to the Big Merino and nearby food and rest facilities. At the time it took the record from Tesla’s 16-stall site in Albury, and Tesla’s then Australia and New Zealand country director described it as the largest charging site in the southern hemisphere. A 24-bay BP Pulse site near Melbourne Airport later overtook it. The move to 28 stalls again makes Goulburn the largest active charging site in the country, ahead of that 24-bay BP Pulse facility.
Each stall is quoted at up to 300kW on the current V4 hardware, and the site is open to non-Tesla cars that use a CCS2 connector, including popular models such as the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 as well as other compatible EVs. When the site first opened, stalls were rated at up to 250kW; the higher 300kW figure is the peak now being reported for the expanded facility, rather than a separately confirmed speed increase on every charger at all times.
Charging prices have also eased since opening. Mid-November reporting put Tesla owner and member pricing at 48 cents a kilowatt-hour, down from 52 cents a kilowatt-hour a year earlier, and non-Tesla pricing at 68 cents a kilowatt-hour, down from 73 cents. Those rates can change and should be checked in the Tesla app before a trip. Even at the higher non-Tesla tariff, the Goulburn site has been described as one of the more affordable high-powered options on this stretch of the Hume Highway.

Goulburn already had an older eight-stall V2 Supercharger at the Visitor Information Centre, about three kilometres from the Lockyer Street hub. That original site was built for Tesla vehicles, and the newer Lockyer Street facility was the one designed to handle heavier holiday traffic. The initial 20-bay build was co-funded through a New South Wales government fast-charging grant.
Tesla now operates around 160 Supercharger sites in Australia. Other recent network work includes urban V4 sites such as the Leichhardt Supercharger in Sydney. Larger highway hubs matter because a single congested 8- or 12-bay site can add a long wait to a Sydney–Canberra or Sydney–Melbourne run, especially in December and January. Drivers planning a highway trip can also use our EV highway charging guide to map breaks around site size, not just pin location.
The 28-bay Goulburn site does not change how far a car can travel on a charge, but it does change how many vehicles can be topped up at once on one of the country’s busiest EV corridors. That is the practical effect of the expansion: more stalls, at a known highway stop, before the summer rush.
