PILOT Corporation

Pilot and Tesla have opened their first Tesla Megacharger site at a Pilot travel center in Ellabell, Georgia, launching a new charging network at select Pilot locations designed to support heavy-duty electric trucks along major U.S. freight corridors. The site at Pilot #1390, located at 130 Interstate Exchange Way, has six heavy-duty charging stalls now open. Twelve additional heavy-duty charging locations are actively under construction, with three near completion and expected to come online soon: Flying J #1071 in Tulare, California, opening October 9, 2026; Flying J #553 in Fort Stockton, Texas; and Pilot #341 in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Each location will feature four to eight high-power charging stalls powered by Tesla's V4 cabinet technology, and according to Tesla each stall can deliver up to 1.2 megawatts of power, allowing a Tesla Semi to recover 60% of charge in 30 minutes. Pilot and Tesla announced their collaboration in January 2026, with plans to develop a network of Tesla Megachargers at select Pilot locations along I-5, I-10 and other major freight corridors across California, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada and Texas.

Pilot Company, General Motors and EVgo announced their collaborative electric vehicle fast-charging network has surpassed 300 locations with 1,300 fast-charging stalls across 40 states. The network now spans approximately 75% of the contiguous United States, covering more than 2.2 million square miles. The companies are more than halfway toward their goal of installing up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls across up to 500 locations nationwide. Since launching in 2022, the network has earned a Plugshare score of 9.41 out of 10 as of July 2026.
