Ellabell

[upbeat music] We kick things off with a major infrastructure milestone for heavy-duty electric trucking.

Pilot Travel Centers and Tesla have officially opened their first Megacharger site designed specifically for electric Class 8 trucks at a Pilot Travel Center in Ellabell, Georgia.

The facility features six charging stalls with 12 more heavy-duty sites currently under construction across key freight corridors.

Each site will have four to eight stalls running Tesla's V4 cabinet technology, with each stall capable of delivering up to one point two megawatts, enough for a Tesla Semi to recover sixty percent of its charge in just thirty minutes.

The remaining market sits with historic district and design-driven projects where appearance commands a premium, unless someone else can solve the same integration problem at higher volume.

Pilot and Tesla opened the first joint megacharger site in Ellabelle, Georgia, Bryan County News reports.

Six heavy-duty posts each deliver up to 1.2 megawatts.

Those posts can bring a semi to 80% in 30 minutes.

The driver was not visible in the footage according to Motor One.

Pilot's first Megacharger station opened in Ellabell, Georgia, with six stalls, each rated up to one point two megawatts.

A dozen more stations are under construction at Pilot and Flying J locations along I-five, I-ten, and other corridors in California, Indiana, Nevada, and Texas.

The second station opens today in Tulare, California.

Another site in Cony, Georgia, was energized earlier this week without Pilot affiliation.

Drivers must back into charging bays at the Ellabell location.

Shannon Sturgill of Pilot stated the company is proud to bring heavy-duty charging to key trucking routes.

The list ranks vehicles by dollars per range mile, with the Nissan Leaf S Plus at ninety-nine, the Chevy Bolt LT at one hundred and eight, and the Tesla Model 3 at one hundred and fifteen.

They are filing them against Homeland Security, CBP, FBI, and the Departments of Justice and Labor.

This raid back on September 4th in this area called Ellabelle, Georgia, was the largest single-site operation in the history of HSI.

I remember I told you there were hundreds of federal and state officers.

There was nearly 500 of them that participated in this raid.

and suggest that they're here invading and stealing our jobs, because isn't that the fucking sentiment that they like to say? Illegal aliens coming to the US, stealing our jobs.

And yet again, the fucking irony of all of this is these workers were here on specialized visas to help build this damn plant so that these American workers could come and work after they left.

These are not people that were gonna come and stay in Ellabelle, Georgia.

They were coming over to help build this thing, this crown jewel of Georgia's economy.
