Pilot and Tesla open first Megacharger site in Georgia, with three more locations near completion
By Eve
Pilot, North America's largest travel centre network, and Tesla have opened their first Tesla Megacharger site at a Pilot location in Ellabell, Georgia, featuring six heavy duty charging stalls. Twelve additional locations are under construction, with three expected online soon, each offering four to eight stalls powered by Tesla's V4 cabinet technology delivering up to 1.2 megawatts per stall. The rollout follows a January 2026 partnership announcement to build Megachargers at select Pilot sites along I-5, I-10 and other major US freight corridors.
Why it matters
The opening demonstrates commercial progress in heavy duty charging infrastructure, with Tesla's V4 cabinets enabling 60% charge recovery in 30 minutes for Tesla Semi trucks. For CPOs and fleet operators, the Pilot network integration signals growing availability of high power charging on key freight routes, potentially accelerating long haul electrification timelines.

Rivian takes second place in US EV brand sales for Q3 2026, driven by Amazon fleet contract
Rivian sold 19,239 electric vehicles in Q3 2026, a 45.7% year on year increase that placed it second among EV brands in the United States, according to Cox Automotive data. The majority of sales came from the EDV500/700 commercial fleet vehicle supplied under Rivian's Amazon contract, rather than the consumer R2 model. Tesla remained dominant with 144,094 sales in the quarter, whilst Toyota took third place with 12,904 units and Cadillac fourth with 12,358.
Why it matters
The figures highlight the commercial fleet segment as a major volume driver for EV manufacturers, with Rivian's Amazon delivery van contract proving more significant than consumer models. For charge point operators and procurement teams, the growth in purpose built commercial EVs signals expanding demand for depot and fleet charging infrastructure beyond passenger vehicle networks.
Tesla adds solar and tariff aware charging to Gen 3 Wall Connector via Powerwall integration
Tesla's firmware version 26.34 enables its Gen 3 Wall Connector to coordinate with Powerwall systems for smart charging based on solar generation and utility rates. In Savings mode, the charger uses time of use tariffs and solar output to schedule low cost charging, while Self Powered mode directs surplus solar to the vehicle battery. The feature extends to older Powerwall 2 units as well as newer installations.
Why it matters
Home charging hardware that responds to solar availability and dynamic tariffs could reduce grid demand during peak periods and improve the business case for residential solar plus storage installations. For CPOs and installers, it signals growing integration between vehicle charging, energy storage and tariff optimisation in the domestic segment.
Tesla secures 90% of output from 450 MW Arizona solar plant before construction starts
ContourGlobal launched construction of Project Sterling, a 450 MW solar facility with battery storage in Mohave County, Arizona, on 6 October. Tesla has already committed to purchasing approximately 90% of the plant's future output. The site will cover more than 800 hectares and feature over 760,000 solar panels, with commissioning expected in 2028.
Why it matters
The deal shows a major EV maker locking in clean generation capacity years ahead of delivery, a model that could inform how charge point operators secure renewable power for large scale networks in Europe and beyond.
