A new 8-stall Tesla Supercharger opened on October 27, 2026, at the Lowe's Home Improvement store at 2438 Market St NE in Washington, DC. Each stall is a V4 post rated up to 325 kW, and the site is open to non-Tesla EVs.
This is the second Supercharger on Market St NE. An older 12-stall site sits about 0.1 miles away, so the block now has 20 Tesla stalls in total.

Who can charge here
Any car with a NACS port can plug in directly. That covers every Tesla and newer models from other automakers that ship with a NACS port.
This site is listed as open to all EVs. Drivers of non-Tesla cars start a session in the Tesla app. Add a payment method, pick "Charge Your Non-Tesla," choose the site and the stall number, then plug in.
All 8 stalls carry NACS cables only. There are no dual-cable (Magic Dock) CCS stalls here. If your car has a CCS1 port, you need an automaker-approved NACS-to-CCS adapter. Check that your automaker supports Supercharger access before you go.

How fast it charges
325 kW is the maximum each stall can deliver. Your car decides how much of that it takes.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center says DC fast charging adds roughly 100 to 200+ miles of range per 30 minutes, and that DC units can reach up to 500 kW. For comparison, the DOE puts Level 2 charging at about 25 miles of range per hour and Level 1 at about 5 miles per hour. Treat all of these as approximate.
What changes the real speed:
- Your car's peak rate. Many EVs top out well below 325 kW. A car rated for 150 kW will charge at 150 kW or less here.
- State of charge. Speed is highest when the battery is low and tapers as it fills, usually sharply above about 80%.
- Battery temperature. A cold battery charges slower. Setting the charger as your destination in a Tesla, or using your EV's preconditioning feature, warms the pack on the way.
For a plain-English breakdown of Level 1, Level 2 and DC fast charging, see EV charging levels explained.
Getting there
The charger is in the lot of the Lowe's Home Improvement store at 2438 Market St NE. The store is part of the Shops at Dakota Crossing, near 33rd Street and South Dakota Avenue NE in the Fort Lincoln area of Northeast DC, close to the Prince George's County line.
The Tesla app shows the site and live stall availability. The older 12-stall Supercharger on Market St NE is about 0.1 miles away. If one site is full, the other is a short drive.
What it costs
Tesla does not post a fixed price. The live per-kWh rate shows in the Tesla app and on a Tesla's touchscreen before you plug in.
A few rules apply:
- Prices vary by time of day. The rate you see at noon may not match the rate at night.
- Non-Tesla pricing differs. Drivers of other brands see their own rate in the Tesla app.
Always check the price in the app before you start. For a wider look at public charging prices, read how much public EV charging costs.

Tips
- Precondition first. Set the Supercharger as your destination so the battery warms up before you arrive. You will hit higher speeds sooner, which matters more as nights get colder.
- Charge to 80%, then go. The last 20% is the slowest part of any DC fast session. Unplug at 80% if you only need to get around the city.
- Check two sites, not one. With 20 stalls on the same block, look at live availability for both Market St NE sites before choosing.
- Non-Tesla drivers: set up the app at home. Add your payment method and confirm your adapter works before the first visit, not in the parking lot.
- Run errands while you charge. The host is a Lowe's, so a 20 to 30 minute stop fits a quick shopping trip. Move the car when charging is done so the next driver can plug in.
