Facility Overview

Situated in the Town of Erwin just outside the historic village center, the Tesla Supercharger at 125 Victory Hwy provides an essential high-power EV charging and parking hub in the Southern Tier of New York. This open-air surface parking lot is located directly on the grounds of the Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins retail plaza along Route 415. The facility features 10 dedicated Tesla Supercharger stalls arranged in an accessible back-in configuration, set against paved asphalt with clear lane demarcations and stall striping.

Because the facility is an expansive outdoor surface lot, it offers completely unobstructed vertical clearance with no overhead deck barriers, making it easily accessible for high-roof electric transit vans, utility vehicles, roof racks, and cargo carriers. Standard passenger EVs, crossovers, and full-size electric pickup trucks such as the Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Rivian R1T can maneuver and park comfortably. Drivers towing trailers or recreational equipment should note that stalls are primarily standard back-in spaces, meaning trailers will generally need to be detached prior to backing into a charging bay.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Conveniently located in Painted Post—part of the greater Corning metropolitan area—this facility serves as both an everyday community stop and an indispensable charging lifeline for cross-state road trippers and regional tourists.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The charging facility benefits from prime highway access near the convergence of two major arterial expressways: Interstate 86 (the Southern Tier Expressway, connecting Binghamton, Elmira, and Jamestown) and Interstate 99 / US-15 (providing a seamless north-south corridor between Corning and Pennsylvania). Motorists can reach the lot via Exit 43 or Exit 44 from I-86 onto NY-415 (Victory Highway).

Ingress and egress are straightforward via wide entrance aprons off Victory Highway, allowing for smooth deceleration and turning even during morning commuter periods. Local transit connectivity in the area is supported by Corning-Erwin Area Transit System (CEATS) bus routes operating along primary regional thoroughfares, linking travelers across Painted Post, Erwin, and central Corning.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless stop, consider these helpful recommendations before you arrive:

• Monitor Stall Availability in Advance: Check your vehicle touchscreen or the Tesla app while in transit to view live station occupancy and active charging speeds.
• Be Mindful of Idle Fees: Tesla assesses congestion idle fees if an unplugged vehicle remains parked in a charging stall after the session completes when the station is 50% full or more; make sure to move your vehicle to standard plaza parking once full.
• Trailer Detachment: Because bays are back-in stalls, drivers towing watercraft, utility trailers, or campers should plan to briefly unhitch in a standard open stall within the shopping plaza before occupying a charging bay.
• Plan Around Operating Hours: While the charging stalls are active 24/7, the adjacent retail business operates on standard retail hours, so plan late-night stops accordingly if you require food or indoor restroom facilities.
