About this Location

Facility Overview

The Tesla Supercharger station in Bandon, Oregon, is conveniently situated within the Bandon Shopping Center at 120 Michigan Ave NE, just a stone's throw east of the iconic Oregon Coast Highway (US-101). Configured as an open-air surface parking lot, this charging hub features eight dedicated Tesla Supercharger stalls capable of delivering charging rates up to 150 kW. The parking spaces are thoughtfully laid out on level asphalt with clearly marked bays, including a designated trailer-friendly layout that permits electric vehicles towing light campers, boats, or cargo trailers to charge without unhitching.

Because the facility is an entirely outdoor surface lot, it offers unobstructed overhead clearance with no low ceiling barriers, making it ideally suited for full-size pickup trucks (such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, or Tesla Cybertruck), lifted overland vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, and crossover SUVs outfitted with rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks. Generous drive aisles permit smooth two-way maneuvering, allowing easy entry, parking, and egress for drivers traveling along the southern Oregon coastline.
