Fast EV Charging in Greensboro: A 20-Minute Reset at Friendly Center
Beyond the Commute: A Wendover Avenue Recharge
Anyone who drives through Greensboro knows that Wendover Avenue has a rhythm of its own. Traffic lights stack up. Commuters flow in from Winston-Salem and across the Piedmont Triad. The day doesn’t slow down on its own.
When your battery indicator tells you it’s time to plug in, you’re not just looking for a charger — you’re looking for a smart stop.
You take the Friendly Center exit, just off Wendover Avenue near Kathleen Avenue, and pull into the Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging station. Wide, pull-through stalls make it easy to settle in. You step out, connect the charger, and hear the quiet hum of 400kW fast charging begin. You glance at the time. You have about 20 minutes. That’s enough to go from 20% to 80% charge. Just enough time to reset your afternoon.
Station Pro Tip
This location is open to all EV brands whether you drive a Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet, or any other EV brand. For Tesla and NACS vehicles, an adapter is required. Native NACS cables are coming soon to this site. Learn more about our Greensboro EV charging station.
A 20-Minute EV Charging Stop That Works
Friendly Center is designed for walking — everything you need is within a few minutes of the charging stations.
You placed your coffee order before you arrived. By the time you step into Starbucks, it’s waiting with your name on the cup. You step back outside, take your first real sip, and let the caffeine settle in as you move through the center. People pass by with their own stops in mind. Cars come and go. Your day feels workable again.
The energy shift continues at Buff City Soap. Shelves are lined with neatly stacked bars in soothing colors. You pick one up, turn it over in your hands. The choice feels satisfying — a small indulgence that makes you notice your surroundings in a way you didn’t before.
By the time you reach Whole Foods Market, it’s easy to grab something to eat and pick up a few items for the day. A few minutes here and you’ve handled a quick errand, then head back outside, ready to return to your car without feeling rushed.
By the time you head back to your vehicle, you’ve done more than charge. You’ve moved. You’ve checked something off your list. You’ve stepped out of traffic mode and into something calmer.
Your EV is ready. And so are you.
At Friendly Center, Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging is available to any EV driver who needs a fast charge — and a short break that actually restores you.
