Welcome everyone to a particular version of The Weekly Supercharger!!
In contrast to earlier posts, this week’s publication will likely be all about one location. Nonetheless, it’d simply be the most important Supercharger we’ll cowl this yr, and in a relatively unlikely location at that. As well as, now we have full documentation for the positioning, so there will likely be no scarcity of data. Let’s get into it.
A couple of month in the past, website plan overview permits had been submitted for a brand new Tesla EV Charging website on the Riverside EpiCenter, positioned on the outskirts of Atlanta, within the newly integrated metropolis of Mableton. Initially, I didn’t assume a lot of it, as a Supercharging website at a Conference Middle couldn’t be that giant, proper? Boy, was I incorrect.
Allow attachment for Mableton
In whole, 64 Supercharger stalls and 24 Stage 2 Wall Connectors are set to be constructed within the southern parking space of the middle. Many of the part is at present undeveloped, and it will likely be paved as a part of Tesla’s take care of EpiCenter.

Per the positioning plans, the set up is to be accomplished in two phases. Through the first part, 40 Superchargers, together with all 24 Stage 2 chargers, will likely be constructed within the proposed space, together with footings for the 6 future Supercharger cupboards which will likely be put in through the second part.
Main Web site Plan for Mableton
The Superchargers will likely be powered by two 480V transformers, every protecting a gaggle of 8 Supercharger cupboards, whereas the Stage 2s will likely be powered by one 208V transformer. Moreover, an influence pedestal for meals vans will likely be put in to the north of the charging stalls, just like Santa Monica. Aruba Entry Level terminals can even be strategically arrange to be able to present Wi-Fi for folks charging their automobiles.
As for the format, the majority of the Superchargers will likely be constructed within the central parking island, whereas the Stage 2 stations will likely be positioned within the outer parking stalls alongside Riverside Parkway. There will likely be 2 pull-through trailer spots, each positioned on both facet of the parking aisle which separates the Supercharger teams. Moreover, 4 ADA spots will likely be created within the parking stalls alongside Riverside Pkwy, 2 of which will likely be for the Superchargers and a couple of for the Wall Connectors.

By way of eating choices, there at present isn’t a lot. Proper now, the closest choices are the Subway inside EpiCenter, and the Wendy’s throughout the road – each are positioned a couple of hundred ft from the charging stalls. That is in all probability why Tesla is establishing energy for meals vans, as it will likely be far more handy to entry, particularly whereas vehicles are charging at peak energy.

So, that’s just about all the data now we have proper now. As for whether or not the stalls will likely be V3 or V4, that has but to be decided, though I’ve an inkling that this simply may be a V4 for as soon as (though I’ve stated {that a} thousand occasions, so take it with a grain of salt). Whereas Mableton will “solely” have 40 stalls as a part of the primary part, it’ll finally maintain 64 Superchargers, making it the brand new largest recognized Supercharger on the whole East Coast.
Thanks on your readership! Subsequent week, we’re set to cowl a bunch of recent places throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast areas. We’ll see you then!
