Laurel already had several Superchargers. This one adds 8 more fast-charging stalls on MD 198, an east-west route through town. For drivers between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, that means more options.
Who can charge here
8 stalls. 2 plug types. Most EVs can use this site.
Tesla drivers plug in with the NACS cable. Billing runs through the Tesla account linked to the car.
Other EVs with a built-in NACS port plug in the same way, with no adapter.
CCS-port EVs have two choices here. According to supercharge.info, all 8 stalls at this site carry both a NACS and a CCS connector. Tesla calls these dual-cable stalls. A CCS car can use the CCS connector directly. You can also use an automaker-approved NACS adapter on the NACS cable if your car supports it.
To start a session in a non-Tesla car, open the Tesla app, choose "Charge Your Non-Tesla," pick the Laurel – Fort Meade Rd site, and select your stall number. The app handles payment.

How fast it charges
325 kW is the peak this site can deliver to a single car. That puts it in the top tier of public DC fast charging. Supercharge.info lists all 8 stalls as Tesla's V4 posts.
What does that mean in practice? Some reference points:
- Tesla: Superchargers "can add up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes" (Tesla's own figure; approximate, best case).
- U.S. DOE (AFDC): DC fast chargers add approximately 100 to 200+ miles of range per 30 minutes of charging.
- U.S. DOE (AFDC): Level 2 adds approximately 25 miles of range per hour, for comparison.
These numbers are approximate. The DOE notes that charging power varies by vehicle and battery state of charge. Most cars charge fastest when the battery is low. Speed tapers as the battery fills, usually above about 80%. Your car's own peak rate also caps the session. A car rated for 150 kW will not pull 325 kW, no matter what the charger can deliver.

Getting there
The site is at the Royal Farms at 3470 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, in Prince George's County.
Fort Meade Road is part of Maryland Route 198 (MD 198). MD 198 has an interchange with I-95 in West Laurel. To the east, it has an interchange with the Baltimore–Washington Parkway (MD 295) in Maryland City. US 1 crosses MD 198 in central Laurel.
That makes this stop useful for:
- I-95 drivers between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore
- Baltimore–Washington Parkway commuters
- Local drivers in Laurel, Maryland City, and the Fort Meade area
Use the coordinates (39.100907, -76.817519) or search "Tesla Supercharger Laurel Fort Meade Rd" in the Tesla app or your car's map. Tesla drivers can also let Trip Planner add the site to a longer route based on their current state of charge.
What it costs
Tesla shows the live per-kWh price for this site in the Tesla app and on the car's touchscreen before you plug in. We do not list a fixed price here because Tesla sets it per site and changes it over time.
Three things to know:
- Time of day matters. Tesla says Supercharging during peak hours costs more than during off-peak hours. The rate you pay is locked in when you plug in.
- Non-Tesla pricing is different. Drivers of other brands may pay a different rate than Tesla owners. Tesla's Supercharging Membership lets other EVs charge at the same price as Tesla owners.
- Congestion fees can apply. When a site is busy, Tesla can bill fees once your battery reaches 80% or your session ends. The first 5 minutes are waived; billing runs until you move the car.

Tips
- Check stall count in the app first. The Tesla app shows stall availability. With 5 other Superchargers within about 4 miles, you can switch sites before you arrive.
- Charge to 80%, not 100%. Charging slows as the battery fills. On a road trip, two short stops are often faster than one long one.
- Charge off-peak when you can. Peak-hour rates are higher. Check the site's peak times in the app or on the car screen before you leave.
- Leave the accessible stall open. This site has 1 accessible stall. If you don't need it, use one of the other 7.
- Move once you're done. On a busy day, fees start 5 minutes after your session ends and run until you move. Watch the app for your charge status.
