A supercharger site has been spotted under construction at:

Target
1591 Bradley Park Dr
Columbus, GA 31904

Assuming those are three V3 cabinets in the photo, that'll be a 12 pedestal site.

FYI, there's a new-ish Georgia Power DCFC site at the Burger King across the street (CCS 125 kW, Chademo 50kW).

Uh, that's weird. The existing thread created earlier today by @AtlantaMCR did not appear when I looked here before adding this one. Okey dokey, whatever.

To: Newnan, GA (US-27, I-185, I-85) - 68.5 miles
To: Marianna, FL (US-80, US-431, US-231, I-10) - 155.8 miles
To: Panama City Beach, FL (US-80, US-431, US-231, I-10, FL-79, US-98) - 207.1 miles

To be clear, this site has been anticipated by Atlanta-area owners for YEARS, as it provides a good stopping point for people traveling from the north side of Atlanta to the PCB coast. Distance from north Atlanta (say, Acworth or Buford) is 130-140 miles. The recent new sites in Newnan and Marianna helped but this Columbus site is more ideal since it's closer to the middle.

@MarcoRP @corywright It looks like the link on supercharge.info became broken when the threads were merged... Can you update please?

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

From a Tesla owner passing through this evening. They framed 10 pedestals in this photo, but I'd bet there will be at least one more turned sideways out of view, and likely a total of 12. Which would align with the 3 cabinets.

This is a *great* location. Lots of food/shopping available at this exit. OP mentioned it's 2.6 miles off the interstate, which is nominally true, but if you're going from metro Atlanta to PCB/30A you cut over from 185 to 280/431 via JR Allen Parkway. (185 dead-ends at Ft. Benning.) So in reality, most through-travelers aren't diverting any appreciable distance.

Additionally
To: Birmingham, AL - 143 miles

This will allow those traveling along 280 to and from B'ham area to bypass Auburn, which is huge if you been to that one.

[Balifalls]

Wow...this supercharger is much needed...esp from Atl to Florida panhandle. Yassss!!!

 

[DuluthDad]

Drove by today. Chargers look to be in place with new asphalt in front. Should be ready to be fired up soon. Makes the ATL to 30A much easier. Too bad for folks in Dufuniak and Auburn as many will no longer have to travel via that route.

 

[isamuels]

I travel from Atlanta to 30A many times. Going through Auburn makes the trip so long. We can't wait for Columbus to go live. Someone please advise when this one goes live. I have another trip in 2 weeks.

 

[Thunder7ga]

Local folks I know down in Columbus are now reporting this has opened as of last night.

 

[121gigawatts]

Thanks @Thunder7ga for the update! I have a trip planned from ATL to 30A in a couple of weeks; looking forward to the V3 here and in Marianna.

We are heading down that way Thursday... if it hasn't been confirmed yet, I will stop and check it out. Would be nice to know if it is up and running... would make the trip a bit better than having to stop Newnan and do a full charge to make it to Marianna.
