Tesla Opens 14 Semi Megacharger Stalls Between Atlanta and Savannah
The new sites mark the first public charging corridor for the Tesla Semi outside California and the debut of a Megacharger at a Pilot truck stop.
Tesla has activated its first public charging corridor for the Semi outside of California, opening two sites in Georgia that provide 14 stalls between Atlanta and Savannah.
What Happened
The company opened an 8-stall station in Conley, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, and a 6-stall station in Ellabell, west of Savannah. Both sites are rated for up to 1.2 MW per stall. The Ellabell location is notable as the first Megacharger to be installed at a Pilot truck stop, fulfilling part of a partnership announced in January. The two sites are approximately 220 miles apart, situated along I-75 and I-16.
Why It Matters
This infrastructure allows Standard Range Semis, which have a rated range of 325 miles at 82,000 lbs, to complete round trips between the Savannah port area and Atlanta without diesel support. Tesla states that a Megacharger can restore up to 60% of a truck’s range in 30 minutes, fitting within typical driver break periods. However, the rollout is behind schedule: Tesla planned for about 37 Megacharger sites in 2026 but has only four customer-facing sites operational with 26 stalls total as of this week. The network currently includes two sites in California and the two new Georgia locations, with three more Pilot sites slated to open soon in California, Texas, and Nevada.
The Bottom Line
Tesla has established its first Southeast charging corridor for the Semi, enabling zero-emission freight on the Atlanta-Savannah lane, though the network remains significantly behind its projected 2026 deployment targets.
