Hey there, so I’m on a 700 mile trip from Atlanta to New York City. These Chargers came extremely in handy due to the level four charging by my account. There are 12 of them. They are on the right hand side of Lowe’s supermarket. I’ve never heard of this before I’ve only ever known Lowe’s the tool store. There are multiple places here to eat. It seems like a mix used area where there is retail, apartments, and restaurants so if you need a long charge, which it shouldn’t take very long due to these being level four charges It’s not that far off the main interstate I 20 I would say it’s roughly about 7 miles if that off the interstate. this is also a good area. If you need to read stock your supplies for a long road trip there is a Trader Joe’s. That is about maybe within five minutes walking distance. we went to a restaurant called big daddy’s burger, which was pretty good to be honest. There is also a bonefish grill across the street.

Excellent Type 3 chargers but for the Model 3, (2023 or 2024) I was driving, these chargers didn't really help because I charged around 65 KW @ 60% Charge. There are a number of stalls, numbered in sets of 4 (1A,B,C,D, 2A,B,C,D, etc) and they are quite busy! I visited here on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025, and 4 chargers were out! I was probably charging slow, when though these are capable of 325 KW, I suspect that is only possible if you are not sharing with other users or are the sole user in that set of 4 [A,B,C,D], which is difficult to do since they are always busy and all charger stalls are occupied.

Going five stars because it certainly does not deserve a 3.3 overall rating. Grocery store is nice and there are some restaurants nearby. Seemed perfectly safe; it is across the street from a Trader Joe’s after all. The valid points from other reviews are that (a) some chargers were broken on each visit a couple of weeks apart and (b) I suppose if you were there late at night there are no bathrooms? Main pros - They are the latest supercharger version so they charge non Teslas with integrated adapter (no need for your own for say Fords or Rivians) and we got the full charging speed advertised. Because they have the longer cables you can charge a non Tesla without taking up two spots which is also great.

First time here, but I like it! Nice Lowe’s Food Store is closest and has lots of snack options & clean bathrooms. Just 20 minutes round trip off of our route, but worth it compared to other chargers we drive by on I-20 & I-95

Chargers seem to be in good condition. Close to a Lowes (grocery, not home improvement). No wait when I visited, but it was late at night. I see another review saying the charger was slow, but my car charged at faster rate than I’m used to. My only complaint is that the area was not very well lit. But with that said, I saw a healthy police presence in the area with even a squad car camped out in the same lot on the other side of Lowes. Over all an okay spot.
