University Business Park - Tesla Destination
Santa Cruz, California
Overview
University Business Park - Tesla Destination in Santa Cruz, CA appears in the federal alternative-fuel station register with 10 charging ports in total.
This is a Level 2 site with no DC fast charging. Level 2 delivers a few hours for a substantial charge, so it suits places where the car is parked anyway — workplaces, hotels, long errands.
Connectors on site: Tesla / NACS. Tesla’s connector, standardised as NACS (SAE J3400). The same plug carries both AC and DC, so a NACS socket alone does not tell you the speed — Superchargers are DC, Destination chargers are AC. Most North American manufacturers have committed to adopting the standard.
Tesla Destination operates 754 sites across California, so the same app or card should work at the others.
The nearest other charging location is 356 m to the W, and there are 53 others within 10 km.
The site has been on the register for about 8 years.

About this record
Source: the AFDC public station register. Availability changes faster than the register does, so treat port counts as the configured capacity rather than a live status — this record was last confirmed on 2026-08-27.
Port counts describe how the site is configured, not whether a given port is free right now. Check the operator's own app before setting out if you are relying on a specific charger.
