A Tesla Megacharger with six stalls designed for Tesla Semi trucks opened in Ellabell, Southeast Georgia, near the Hyundai Metaplant. The site is situated on a major freight route connecting the Port of Savannah and the greater Atlanta area. The charging speed allows trucks to recover 60% of their energy in only 30 minutes. Tesla expects to deploy over 100 Megacharger posts by the end of 2026, with a goal of 700 by the end of 2027.
