First big trip in Lariat ER

[Church]

What going on yall. Later this month Im making my first multi charge trip. From Union City, TN (northeastern corner of the state) to Atlanta, GA. Any recommendations for chargers in the ATL area? I’ll be going to Dunwoody (work) and then near the midtown (play) areas. I have my typhoon NACS to CCS adapter and almost 250kW in EA credit.
I’m also open to charger recommendations along I-24, I-69, and I-75. Thank in advance.

I still don't have an adapter so don't have any experience with Superchargers in the area but had no issues with the Barrett Place EA station (off 75) at 860 Cobb Place Boulevard NW, Kennesaw, Georgia 30144. There's a First Watch a short walk across the parking lot that was a great spot for breakfast.

You might want to also get a level 2 Tesla to generic Ev adapter. Many hotels have free Tesla level 2 chargers, but you need an adapter and the Level 3 adapter won’t work.

I have book marked the locations thank you for the recommendation.

My recommendation is to try charging at each of the charging station operators at least once before you leave if you can. This way, you aren't struggling to figure out how to get the charge started while on the road.

You may have already done this, but I get frustrated each time I have to try a new charging company... Can I use a CC? Do I need an app? Is it plug and charge?

It hasn't been a problem for me, but the family can get impatient. ;-)

I try to try any new ones that I can. When I got the truck I think I looked through most routes from west Tennessee to south Louisiana (family) and downloaded every app of 50+kW station to get ready. You’re right it’s interesting to us but the wife does not find it nearly as exciting especially when it’s not straight forward (Looking at you Francis Energy).

When I read your response, I thought to myself "I miss the east coast"... Then I read "western TN". How is the charging situation where you are? Desert Southwest can be tough if you don't plan accordingly. If a charge station is down, you're gonna have a bad time.
