At last! You can drive your Tesla to Santa Barbara and back, and you have another great reason to stop on the way in Oxnard.

Tesla Motors announced it has opened a new Southern California supercharging station, at Oxnard’s Collection at River Park shopping center, on Park View Court.

The station is Tesla’s latest addition to a charging network that also includes superchargers in Hawthorne to the south, Tejon Ranch and Solvang to the north and Barstow to the east.

The superchargers allow a Tesla vehicle to charge to full capacity in about 30 minutes.

The company also has a network of non-superchargers throughout Southern California, though charging through those stations takes longer.
