From SF Gate: âBut as with many Tesla-related things, there is a
secret, thinly obscured by an Oz-like curtain, at the Harris Ranch
Supercharger. Hidden in plain sight across the way from the Harris Ranch
Superchargerâs main stations, behind a Shell station, is a small diesel
plant that has helped power Teslaâs footprint.â
The news first broke by investigative journalist Edward Niedermeyer. In
May 2015, Niedermeyer drove from his Oregon home to Harris Ranch to see
whether âMuskâs latest bit of dream weaving could stand up to reality.â
Itâs unclear just what percentage of Supercharger power at Harris Ranch
is being generated via diesel, as even apps devoted to tracking what
kind of energy is delivered to Superchargers have no idea. But
understand, generators play a vital role in backup power, or when extra
power is needed to meet demand. Power outages are happening more often
so standby, industrial generators are going to be more and more common
in businesses, even at an EV supercharger location.

Across the way from the Harris Ranch Superchargerâs main stations,
behind a Shell station, sits a small building where, according to a 2015
report, a diesel generator once helped power Teslaâs footprint here.
âI discovered that Teslaâs battery swap station was not in fact being
made available to owners who regularly drove between Californiaâs two
largest cities,â Niedermeyer wrote in a May 2022 exposé for Slate.
âInstead, the company was running diesel generators to power additional
Superchargers (the kind that take 30 to 60 minutes to recharge a
battery) to handle the holiday rush, their exhaust mingling with the
unmistakable smell of bullsât.â
