Citrus Heights Gets Its First Tesla Supercharger at Summer Hills Plaza
Citrus Heights has officially entered the fast-charging network.
A new 24-stall Tesla Supercharger station is now live at Summer Hills Plaza, located at 7905 Greenback Lane next to Raley’s. This marks the first Supercharger installation within the Citrus Heights trade area.
For local residents and commuters, this is a measurable upgrade in accessibility.
Closing a Critical Gap in EV Infrastructure
Prior to this installation, drivers in Citrus Heights had to rely on nearby stations in Roseville or Arden-Arcade. That created a consistent gap in coverage, requiring an additional 10 to 20 minutes of travel for fast charging.
The new Summer Hills Plaza location eliminates that gap.
This improves convenience for current EV owners and removes a barrier for future adoption in the immediate area.
What This Means for the Community
The addition of a high-capacity fast charging site delivers direct, practical benefits:
- Increased accessibility to reliable EV charging within the city
- Reduced travel time for daily charging needs
- Support for continued growth in electric vehicle adoption
- Improved air quality through reduced reliance on gas vehicles
This is infrastructure that residents use daily, not a passive upgrade.
Impact on the Retail Center
default
From a commercial real estate standpoint, the impact is equally clear.
High-speed charging stations drive consistent traffic and increase dwell time at surrounding businesses. Customers charging their vehicles are more likely to shop, dine, and spend time within the center.
For Summer Hills Plaza, this translates to:
- Increased foot traffic
- Longer visit durations
- Stronger tenant exposure
- Added long-term value to the property
Charging infrastructure is no longer an amenity. It is a traffic driver.
A Strategic Location Along Greenback Lane
Positioned along a primary retail corridor, the site benefits from visibility and accessibility. Greenback Lane serves as a key east-west connector, making this location practical for both local residents and pass-through traffic.
With the addition of this Supercharger station, Summer Hills Plaza strengthens its position as a convenient stop within the Citrus Heights market.
Looking Ahead
As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow, the demand for accessible, high-speed charging will follow. Strategic installations like this one play a direct role in shaping how communities adapt to that shift.
This is not a future-focused concept. It is active infrastructure, now live and in use.
Citrus Heights now has a central charging hub.
And the market is better positioned because of it.
