Who can charge here
Every stall at this site has a NACS connector. That is the plug built into every Tesla and into a growing list of newer cars from other brands.
- Tesla drivers: pull in, plug in, and charge. Billing runs through your Tesla account.
- NACS-equipped non-Teslas: cars that ship with a NACS port plug in directly. Start the session in the Tesla app.
- CCS cars: this site lists NACS plugs only, with no dual-cable stalls. You need an automaker-approved NACS adapter. Then open the Tesla app, choose "Charge Your Non-Tesla," pick the stall number and start the session.
Check that your car is approved for Supercharger access before you rely on this stop. Not every CCS model works with every adapter. Our guide to using a NACS adapter at a Tesla Supercharger walks through the steps.
How fast it charges
500 kW puts this station at the top of the DC fast charging range. The U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center says a DC charging unit can provide up to 500 kW. It estimates DC fast charging adds roughly 100 to 200+ miles of range per 30 minutes. Those are approximate figures.
For comparison, the DOE puts Level 2 at 2.9 to 19.2 kW, or about 25 miles of range per hour. Level 1 runs about 1.9 kW, or about 5 miles of range per hour.
Three points matter for real-world speed:
- Your car sets the limit. A car built to accept 250 kW will not pull 500 kW. The post delivers what the car asks for, up to its own ceiling.
- State of charge matters. Most EVs charge fastest between low and mid battery levels. Speed tapers as the pack fills, often sharply above 80%.
- Battery temperature matters. A cold or very hot pack charges slower. Many cars precondition the battery if you set the Supercharger as your in-car destination.

Getting there
The site sits at a Wawa on 4th Street North in St. Petersburg, at 8601 4th St N, ZIP 33702. Tesla vehicles show the site on the in-car map and in the Tesla app. Non-Tesla drivers can find it in the Tesla app's map before they leave.
Wawa is the host. That means a store on site while you charge. Store hours and services are set by Wawa, so check with the store before you count on them.
What it costs
Tesla shows the live per-kWh price for this site in the Tesla app and on the car's screen. Prices can change by time of day, and non-Tesla drivers may pay a different rate than Tesla owners.
We do not list a price here because Tesla sets and updates it. Check the app right before you plug in.

Other chargers nearby
The new site adds to a dense Supercharger network in Pinellas County. The five closest open Superchargers, by straight-line distance:
| Supercharger | Distance | Stalls |
|---|---|---|
| Pinellas Park, FL (Wawa, 3101 Gandy Blvd) | 2.5 mi | 8 |
| Pinellas Park, FL – US Hwy 19 N (Target) | 2.9 mi | 20 |
| St. Petersburg, FL – 25th St N (Lowe's) | 4.3 mi | 20 |
| St. Petersburg, FL – 22nd Ave N (Wawa) | 4.3 mi | 8 |
| Clearwater, FL – US Hwy 19 N (Wawa) | 7.1 mi | 8 |
Distances are straight-line, not driving distance. With 64 stalls across these five sites plus the 8 new ones, drivers in north St. Pete have backup options within about 7 miles.

Tips
- Set the site as your in-car destination. This tells many EVs to warm or cool the battery first, which can raise the charging rate on arrival.
- Arrive low, leave around 80%. The fastest part of the charge curve is usually at a lower state of charge. Stopping near 80% saves time and frees the stall.
- CCS drivers: bring your adapter and set up the app first. Add a payment method in the Tesla app before you arrive. All 8 stalls are NACS-only.
- Use the accessible stall only if you need it. The site has 1 accessible stall. Leave it open for drivers who need the extra space.
- Have a backup. Four other Superchargers sit within about 4.3 miles if this site is busy.
The bottom line
St. Petersburg's newest Supercharger brings 8 V4 stalls rated up to 500 kW to the Wawa at 8601 4th St N. It is open to Teslas and to approved non-Tesla EVs through the Tesla app. CCS drivers need an adapter. Check live pricing in the app before you charge, and keep the nearby Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg sites in mind as backups.
