    I am unaware of any such protocols.

    The Atlanta supercharger (in Midtown, not Downtown) can get busy but I've never seen it full.

    Coming in from Birmingham on I-20, how accessable is the midtown supercharger location given the I-85 collapse?

    You'll be fine. The issue with I85 is a couple of miles north of Atlantic Station.

    We are planning a trip north on I-75 in June pulling a trailer. Does anyone know the best parking garage entrance to use to get to the Atlanta (Atlantic station) supercharger? How about a good place to drop off the trailer before entering the parking garage? Thanks!

    The best entrance is in back off of 20th street. After you enter the deck turn right and you'll run right in to the Superchargers. Not sure on where to leave the trailer, maybe the Target parking lot?

    Thank you! That was very helpful. Your post cleared up a lot of my confusion. Found it all on google maps now.

    If you use that Supercharger, you could just pull the trailer in, and when you get to the Superchargers, back it into a space across from the SCs, unhitch, supercharge, back straight up, re-hitch, and go. We have used that SC a couple of times, and that area was generally not in high usage. (Your experience may vary, we were there in the morning, and then again in a mid-afternoon time).

    Thanks, Doc S.

    That might be a good idea. Need to be careful not to get "stuck" with a long trailer (29 ft) in a parking garage.

    We are now planning on spending the night at the Holiday Inn just south and west of the ATL airport. I found it on plugshare and I called and they have a couple of charge outlets including one Tesla. We will then go around Atlanta on the west side. We decided to skip the stressful downtown route! It will also save one charge stop.

    Hello,

    I noticed that the working row of superchargers at Atlantic Station now says '30 minute parking', whereas the other row (riddled with small problems that slow charging significantly) do not say 30 minute parking. Of course I want to use the faster one, but I need it for 50 minutes.

    Will we get charged by going over the 30 minutes on the 'good' row of superchargers at Atlantic Station?

    I think it actually says "30 Minutes General Parking" as in anyone can park for up to 30 minutes.

    Yes, here: Supercharger - Buford, GA

    A little bird tells me that Lenox Mall is getting a VERY large Supercharging installation (not HPWCs) and that construction is starting soon. As soon as there's public information about that, someone should start a thread (i.e. "Supercharger - Atlanta/Lenox, GA") with that information.

    Hello Atlanta friends. I'm in town for the FSU game and staying in Bucktown (near La Grotto restaurant). I assume the midtown supercharger is my best option? Any tips re surviving down there?

    Correct Atlantic Station maybe your best bet. Also the stadium should have charging options too PlugShare

    Thanks. Did an early AM scouting trip and added a few electrons to the tank. Gonna Uber to the game and Marta train back. Don't want to deal with late night post game traffic.
