Facility Overview

The Tesla Supercharger station situated at 550 Myrtle Avenue in Boonton, New Jersey, is located within the spacious, paved open-air surface parking lot serving the Boonton Walmart shopping center. Positioned directly off US Route 202 (Myrtle Avenue) and adjacent to Interstate 287, this location offers an expansive, barrier-free layout engineered for effortless vehicle circulation and rapid turnaround. Because the parking area is an open surface lot without height restrictions or overhead structures, it comfortably accommodates all standard passenger cars, crossovers, full-sized SUVs, electric pickup trucks such as the Tesla Cybertruck, and high-roof conversion vans. Dedicated Tesla fast-charging stalls feature dedicated back-in and pull-in spaces equipped with high-power V3 DC fast-charging pedestals capable of delivering up to 250 kW.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your stop at the Boonton Supercharger, aim for early morning or mid-afternoon hours if you wish to avoid peak retail traffic around the Walmart entrance. While the parking bays provide ample room, drivers pulling trailers or hitch-mounted bike racks should take care not to obstruct adjacent travel lanes and may need to unhitch if occupying a standard back-in stall. Monitor charging status through your vehicle dashboard or the smartphone app to prevent idle fees, which Tesla automatically assesses once charging reaches 100% capacity at crowded stations. Standard parking in the general shopping center lot is complimentary for patrons.
