EVwire brief: A new Tesla Supercharger opened in Midlothian, Texas on July 23, and it wears its host's branding instead of Tesla's.
The stalls are branded to Victron Energy, the travel-center operator behind the Texas Best Smokehouse chain, which owns the site under Tesla's Supercharger for Business program.
Tesla's charging team announced the new Supercharger site on X.
The station sits at a Texas Best Smokehouse travel center just off US-287, with eight V4 stalls rated up to 325 kW and one accessible stall. It runs 24/7, parking is free, and non-Tesla EVs can plug in with an included adapter.

The Midlothian station is the latest example of Tesla's expanding partnership with Victron Energy. The Texas-based travel center operator already hosts Tesla Superchargers at multiple Texas Best Smokehouse locations across the state, including Grapevine, Henrietta, Denison and Cleburne.
The Midlothian site, however, appears to be the company’s first Supercharger for Business site.

Context:
Tesla launched its Supercharger for Business (SfB) program in September 2025 to let outside companies buy, host, and run Supercharger sites on their own property, rather than waiting for Tesla to build them. Tesla supplies the hardware, runs the software, handles commissioning, and monitors the network remotely. The host funds the installation, pays for the electricity, sets its own charging prices, and can custom-brand the stalls.
The pitch to hosts is reliability. Tesla guarantees 97% uptime across SfB program sites, the same standard as its company-owned network, with 24/7 remote monitoring and driver support. Once a site goes live, it also lists automatically in Tesla's in-car navigation and trip planner, so drivers find it the same way they find any other Supercharger. Tesla also publishes a cost calculator so prospective hosts can estimate the outlay before requesting a quote.
