EAST POINT, GA — Tesla drivers now have charging options near Atlanta's airport, thanks to a newly installed row of charging stations in front of the Target at Camp Creek Marketplace. The charging stations — 12 Supercharger stations for Teslas and four ChargePoint EV chargers for other electric vehicles — have been in service for about two months. They've been "frequently used" and "received well by the community," said East Point spokesperson Shannon Wiggins. According to a news release from East Point, Tesla decided to partner with the Target at the Camp Creek Marketplace due to its proximity to the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Tesla originally approached East Point's power department in 2019 to assist with the project, but the project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Alicia Persons, East Point Power Project Manager, says Tesla approached East Point Power again at the beginning of 2021 and her team was able to complete the project by March 26. "We are excited that Tesla has selected us as the 'City of Choice' to promote clean energy and improve the quality of life in our community," said East Point Mayor Deana Holiday Ingraham.
