Pilot Travel Centers and Tesla opened their first heavy-duty Megacharger site at a Pilot location in Ellabell, Georgia, with six charging stalls for electric trucks. Twelve additional heavy-duty sites are under construction, including locations in California, Texas, and Nevada, and three are nearly finished. The planned network targets major freight corridors including I-5 and I-10, with each site expected to have four to eight stalls using Tesla V4 cabinet technology. Tesla says each stall can deliver up to 1.2 megawatts, enabling a Tesla Semi to recover 60% of its charge in 30 minutes.
