Fast EV Charging Around Atlanta Metro: Where to Charge When You’re Leaving the City
Beyond the Perimeter: Your Atlanta Weekend Recharge
When the weekend arrives, the idea of leaving Atlanta starts to feel easy. Plans take shape. Bags go by the door. The drive ahead begins to matter more than the week behind you.
As lanes widen and the familiar density thins mile by mile, the city gives way gradually. Somewhere along that transition, you notice the battery and decide to charge before the journey fully opens up.
That’s where Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging comes in. Positioned throughout the Atlanta metro area, a 20-minute stop is enough to charge up and settle into the rest of the weekend, no matter which direction you’re headed.
Station Pro Tip
All Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging locations around Atlanta are open to all EV brands whether you drive a Hyundai, Ford, Tesla, GM, or any other EV brand. For Tesla and NACS vehicles, check the station’s individual charging page for NACS capability. Find your nearest charging station on our map.

“The chargers are positioned front and center,” drivers say about Locust Grove. “[It’s] convenient to several stores and restaurants.”
If you’re hungry, grab enchiladas at Gambino’s Mexican Grill or burgers at Steak ‘n Shake in the time it takes to charge. Or you can grab your go-to order at Starbucks to replace the one you finished earlier than planned.
“It’s also a very short walk to Walmart,” another driver notes. There, you can pick up water, snacks or something you forgot to grab before leaving town. When you pull back onto I-75 in 20 minutes, you don’t have to think about stopping again anytime soon.

If You’re Heading East
Pooler Parkway & Dogwood, Conyers, GA
Some stops don’t require much thought. Along Pooler Parkway in Conyers, the chargers sit right next to Wendy’s. You already know how the next 20 minutes will go: a short walk to a familiar counter, followed by a burger and fries, chicken nuggets, maybe a Frosty if the timing feels right.
If you’re staying on I-20, there’s another charging station just 11 minutes away at Dogwood—another Wendy’s, another chance to stop where you already know what you want. Choose the location that lines up best with your drive. Either way, 20 minutes later you’re back on the road with a charge handled and something warm (or cool) beside you.
Pooler Parkway Address: 1561 Highway 20, Conyers, GA 30012

If You’re Heading West
Heritage Hill, GA
Along the East-West Connector, Heritage Hill comes up once you’re already moving out of the city. You pull off, plug in, and the charge begins while traffic continues to stream past.
Twenty minutes is just enough time to step into Ulta Beauty and replace something you realized you needed on the way out of town, or make a quick stop at Hobby Lobby to grab what you didn’t fit into the week earlier. The stores are close to one another. The timing works.
When you return to the car, the charge is finished. You ease back onto the Connector and keep heading west, knowing you’ve taken care of what you needed without adding another stop down the road.

What EV Drivers Are Saying
“Worked great! … using a credit card the session start was quick and I got great power. The LED charging status bars on the light poles are now activated, so you can see your charging status from a distance, e.g. glancing over while dining at a nearby restaurant. Cool! EDIT: one more thing that I forgot: the cables are LIGHT. They’ve got some great new cooling tech in there, because I’ve never handled an easier cable, certainly not on a 400 kW station.“
— Genesis GV60 driver at Locust Grove, via PlugShare
“Super fast charging and no need to pre condition for my Tesla. Solid as a rock location with multiple plugs for various cars.“
— Tesla Model Y driver at Conyers, via PlugShare
“Walkable to stores and restaurants. A extremely fast charge up to 400 kWh.”
— Ford Mustang Mach-E driver at Austell, via PlugShare
