Ignore the image showing the marker in downtown Pooler. This address is for an Enmarket at I-95 and Route 80 (aka Louisville Road, exit 102), a mile east of downtown Pooler. Enmarket of course has hosted several other EV charging sites so this does seem reasonable.

Looks like Tesla snuck one in on us and is now online per the website and the app.

Can anyone go by and confirm?

Sorry but this doesn't pass the smell test.

I think it's a mistake.

It's highly unlikely that Tesla would drop another V3 site so close to both an old V2 and a new V3 Supercharger location.

Lol…you think it’s a mistake Tesla “accidentally” put a new supercharger on their online map, the app, and the in-car nav with an actual place and address? That’s quite the take lol.

Yes, they sometimes make mistakes

Hopefully someone local to the Savannah area can drive past and see.

I don't think it is a mistake. The other v3 is really for i-16. This one would be much better for i95.

It is likely. The two existing sites are bad for I-95 traffic and tthe Savannah Airport location is old and small.

The Savannah Airport Supercharger opened 1/15/2014, the lease (5yr +5yr) would be up soon and Tesla pays them for the spaces (6 spaces, $600/mo. Supercharger - Savannah, GA See the linked article in that post).

Tesla doesn't close many existing sites, but the airport location would be a possible one to close.

It’s real and we stopped in it 2-days ago on a road-trip!

... however if Tesla are intending to abandon the Savannah Airport (V2) location, this location starts to make sense.

Adding a few pictures. Note I-95, elevated in the background. This supercharger is tucked behind an Enmarket gas station / convenience store. McDonalds is next door, with KFC & Terra Mia (Italian) across the street, and Taco Bell & Cracker Barrel if you really like crosswalks. Live electrons confirmed, although I couldn't confirm 250 kW because my battery wasn't preconditioned. Traffic-wise, at rush hour it took a few minutes to get back onto Louisville Rd (US-80) heading west towards I-95, because the Continental Blvd turning lane was already full from surrounding businesses.

I've personally always thought the Savannah Airport (V2) location was problematic, because one has to enter the (pay) parking lot and perhaps walk into the airport to find a human being to validate your ticket (to avoid paying for parking). Although full disclosure, I've never used it because I charge in my garage just a few miles away. I would think this new location would be preferable for many reasons.

Happy I-95 charging, y'all!

Now open to NACS. Bollards/signs removed. Nice price: 22 cents per kWh all day. One stall marked handicap, use last.
