Eight Tesla Superchargers coming to Peru

Peru, NY – July 19, 2024—If all goes as planned, eight electric vehicle Superchargers will operate 24 hours daily at Stewart’s Main St Shop sometime this fall. The Zoning Board of Appeals approved Tesla Corp.’s setback variance application on July 17, 2024. Tesla has partnered with Stewart’s at several shops, and several more installations are planned. The chargers in Peru will accommodate both Tesla and non-Tesla electric vehicles. Charging times should range between fifteen and thirty minutes.

There will be 1,600 feet of new paved surface. Downcast, shielded lights on 16-foot-high poles will illuminate the charging area. Tesla will landscape and plant two trees behind the chargers to minimize impact on adjacent property owners. If Stewart’s -Tesla relationship ceases for any reason, Tesla representative Scott Austin said Tesla would remove the chargers and light poles, and the Zoning Board of Appeals also set a condition whereby the property owner appears before the Planning Board to discuss any remaining issues.
