New Tesla Supercharger Opens in Buffalo, WY: 8 Stalls

A New Pin on the Wyoming Map

Tesla Charging officially announced the Buffalo, Wyoming Supercharger station late on March 6, 2026. The station at 74 US-16 adds 8 stalls to a stretch of Wyoming that has historically required careful range planning for Tesla drivers.

Buffalo sits at the intersection of I-90 and US-16 in Johnson County — a natural waypoint for drivers crossing northern Wyoming between the Black Hills to the east and Yellowstone country to the west. For Tesla owners, it's a corridor that has demanded careful range planning. This station changes that calculus.

Note: Background research from third-party sources suggests the station may still be in final activation stages as of early March 2026. The official @TeslaCharging announcement is the primary confirmation of this station going live. Verify availability in your Tesla app before routing through Buffalo.

🔭 The BASENOR Take

Buffalo, Wyoming isn't a major metro, but its location makes this station punching above its weight. Sitting where I-90 meets US-16, it's a natural stop for anyone driving the northern tier of the US — whether that's a cross-country run or a trip to Yellowstone and the Bighorn Mountains. Before this station, Tesla owners on this corridor faced a meaningful gap in coverage.

The broader context matters here too. Tesla's US Supercharger network has grown by roughly 20% in locations and over 25% in stall count since the start of 2025, according to network tracking data. Buffalo is one more data point in a consistent pattern of Tesla filling in the map — particularly in rural and semi-rural corridors where range anxiety has historically been a real barrier to EV adoption.

If the station is equipped with V4 hardware — which aligns with the 8-stall configuration noted in the announcement — owners with newer vehicles can expect up to 500 kW peak output, making a stop here genuinely fast rather than just tolerable. Check your Tesla navigation app to confirm the station is live and to see real-time stall availability before you route through Buffalo.

📰 Deep Dive

Wyoming presents a particular challenge for EV infrastructure buildout: vast distances, sparse population, and extreme weather. The state has fewer than 600,000 residents spread across nearly 100,000 square miles. For Tesla, that means each station placement has to work harder — serving not just local residents but the significant through-traffic on I-90, one of the primary east-west arteries across the northern US.

Buffalo specifically has been on the radar of the Tesla community for some time. Third-party tracking sites noted the station under construction through late 2025 and into early 2026, with users reporting it was waiting on final electrical components. The official @TeslaCharging announcement marks the transition from construction project to active infrastructure — though owners should confirm live status in the Tesla app before relying on it for trip planning.

For the broader charging news and network expansion tracking, this station is part of a steady drumbeat of openings that has accelerated noticeably over the past year. The pace of rural and corridor station additions suggests Tesla is systematically addressing the remaining white spaces on the US Supercharger map — and Wyoming is clearly in scope.
