Tesla Lights Up Semi Megacharger Corridor From Atlanta to Savannah

AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla's electric Semi just got a longer leash in the Southeast. The company has switched on 14 new Megacharger stalls across two Georgia sites, stitching together a charging corridor that lets its Class 8 trucks run between Atlanta and Savannah without range anxiety.

Two Sites, One Corridor

The larger of the two locations sits in Conley, Georgia, about 10 miles south of downtown Atlanta near the I-285 and I-675 interchange, with eight stalls. The second, with six stalls, opened at a Pilot travel center in Ellabell — roughly 20 miles west of Savannah along I-16 — and marks the first Tesla Megacharger to go live at a Pilot truck stop.

Each stall is rated for up to 1.2 MW, enough to add as much as 60% of a Semi's range in about 30 minutes. That speed matters on this route: the two sites are roughly 220 miles apart, and a 325-mile Standard Range Semi could not complete the 440-mile round trip without fast chargers anchoring both ends.

The build-out follows the start of volume Semi production at Tesla's dedicated Nevada factory, which is designed to turn out up to 50,000 trucks a year.

A Network Taking Shape

Tesla Semi announced the Georgia expansion on X on October 8, saying more Southeast sites are on the way. The Ellabell opening is part of a partnership with Pilot unveiled in January, and three more Pilot and Flying J sites — in California, Texas and Nevada — are nearly ready, with nine more under construction carrying four to eight stalls each.

Pilot's Shannon Sturgil said the new locations make fleet electrification "a more accessible option for long-haul transportation." Demand signals are already strong: Tesla was recently named primary supplier on orders that include a 50-truck deal with logistics firm IMC.

Scaling Toward 2027

Tesla has set ambitious targets for its charging footprint, aiming for roughly 37 Megacharger sites in 2026 and 46 by early 2027. Counting the new Ellabell location, the public network now spans four open sites and 26 stalls, with Georgia alone showing four planned locations on Tesla's map.

As Electrek detailed, the company still has ground to cover against its own schedule — but with sites opening in quick succession and partners like Pilot on board, the pace is accelerating.

For fleet operators weighing the switch to electric long-haul, each new corridor makes the math easier. The Atlanta-to-Savannah link is one piece of a much larger map, and Tesla is signaling that the rest of the Southeast is next.
