Pilot Travel Centers and Tesla have opened their first Tesla Megacharger site at a Pilot travel center in Ellabell, Georgia. The opening marks the launch of a new charging networ designed to support heavy-duty electric trucks along major U.S. freight corridors.
The six heavy-duty charging stalls are now open at a Pilot located at 130 Interstate Exchange Way. Twelve additional heavy-duty charging locations are actively under construction, with three near completion and expected to come online soon in Tulare, California (opening today), Fort Stockton, Texas and North Las Vegas, Nevada.
Each location will feature four to eight high-power charging stalls powered by Tesla’s V4 cabinet technology. According to Tesla, each stall can deliver up to 1.2 megawatts of power, allowing a Tesla Semi to recover 60% of charge in 30 minutes.
Pilot and Tesla announced their collaboration in January 2026, with plans to develop a network of Tesla Megachargers at select Pilot locations along I-5, I-10 and other major freight corridors across California, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada and Texas.
