Investigative journalist Edward Niedermeyer discovered that America's largest EV charging station, the Harris Ranch station, is powered by diesel generators hidden behind a Shell station.

what California EV advocates boast is the largest EV charging station in the country, the Harris Ranch Tesla Supercharging Station, boasts a total of 98 Tesla supercharger modules.

To provide that kind of power for nearly 100 bays takes something solar can’t provide — diesel generators.

Investigative journalist Edward Niedermeyer discovered that the station was powered by diesel generators hidden behind a Shell station. Reporters at SF Gate tried to find out how much of the station's electricity was from the generators, but couldn’t get a response from Tesla.

The station isn’t connected to any dedicated solar farms, which means that absent the diesel generators, the station is powered by California’s grid.
