Ames, IA - Tesla Supercharger
Ames, Iowa DC fast
Overview
Ames, IA - Tesla Supercharger is a public-record charging site in Ames, IA with 8 DC fast ports.
By number of ports it is the 1st largest of 22 charging locations in Ames, IA.
A Tesla/NACS connector is listed here. 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 operates 20 sites across Iowa, so the same app or card should work at the others.
The nearest other charging location is 174 m to the E, and there are 21 others within 10 km.
The register classifies the host location as a fuel station, which is a reasonable guide to how long you can reasonably stay.
Charging equipment

Connectors
- CCS (J1772 Combo) DC fast
- The DC fast-charging standard used by most non-Tesla EVs in North America. It adds two large DC pins below a normal J1772 socket, so one port on the car serves both.
- Tesla / NACS DC fast
- 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.

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 2026-06-18.
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.
