Tesla Supercharger Case Study: Global Mall, Norcross, GA (Metro Atlanta)
Car Charger Specialists partnered with ChargedEV to design and build a privately owned Tesla Supercharger site at Global Mall in Norcross, transforming a metro Atlanta shopping center parking lot into a high-value EV fast-charging destination for both Tesla and non-Tesla drivers. Located just off I‑85 on Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Gwinnett County, the project shows how Atlanta-area property owners can turn underused parking spaces into an amenity that attracts drivers and supports long-term asset value.
Project Overview
Global Mall is a long-standing regional retail destination serving shoppers, diners, and travelers across metro Atlanta. ChargedEV selected this Norcross site as a flagship high-speed charging hub and engaged Car Charger Specialists as the turnkey partner to bring Tesla’s latest V4 Supercharger hardware online.
Key project facts for Atlanta owners:
-
Location: Global Mall, 5675 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Norcross, GA (I‑85 corridor, metro Atlanta)
-
Hardware: Two Tesla V3.5 Supercharger cabinets powering eight V4 dispensers
-
Power rating: Up to 325 kW per stall, capable of adding hundreds of miles of range in under 30 minutes
-
Connectors: NACS and CCS (via Tesla Magic Dock), serving Tesla and non-Tesla EVs
-
Operator: ChargedEV, an AI-forward charge point operator focused on high-speed EV hubs
Goals and Challenges for an Atlanta Shopping Center
For this Atlanta-area retail property, ChargedEV and the ownership team had clear goals:
-
Make Global Mall a preferred charging stop for EV drivers traveling and commuting through metro Atlanta.
-
Use high-speed charging to increase visit frequency, dwell time, and spend at on-site businesses.
-
Demonstrate that private Tesla Superchargers can be successfully deployed on non-Tesla commercial properties in Georgia.
Key challenges included:
-
Integrating 325 kW fast-charging equipment into an existing shopping center parking layout without disrupting tenant and customer traffic.
-
Navigating Gwinnett County permitting, utility requirements, and Tesla’s technical specifications on a tight timeline.
-
Ensuring the site could reliably serve both Tesla and non-Tesla drivers using the latest NACS and CCS standards.
Our Turnkey Solution for Metro Atlanta Properties
Car Charger Specialists delivered the Global Mall project as a full-service, turnkey engagement from concept to commissioning.
Scope of work:
-
On-site assessment and layout design tailored to a busy Atlanta retail environment, with attention to access, safety, and visibility from key approaches.
-
Electrical engineering and permitting to support high-capacity Tesla V3.5 cabinets and eight V4 dispensers.
-
Coordination with the local utility to provision sufficient power and manage load at up to 325 kW per stall.
-
Trenching, conduit, and equipment placement designed to preserve circulation and future expansion options.
-
Final commissioning, testing, and activation support to ensure a smooth go-live for ChargedEV and drivers.
Because Car Charger Specialists is based in the greater Atlanta area and focuses on EV charging infrastructure, the team aligned the project with local codes, utility expectations, and Tesla’s requirements without unnecessary delays.
Results: A High-Impact Fast-Charging Amenity for Atlanta
Soon after launch, the Global Mall Supercharger site reached an early run-rate of roughly 2.5 MWh of energy delivered per day, demonstrating how quickly a well-located Atlanta-area site can become a busy EV hub. With eight stalls rated up to 325 kW and support for both NACS and CCS, the station gives commuters and travelers a reliable place to add significant range in a short stop.
For the Global Mall property, the site delivers several key benefits:
-
Increased visit volume from EV drivers who choose where to stop in metro Atlanta based on fast-charging availability.
-
Longer dwell times as drivers shop, dine, and explore mall tenants while their vehicles charge.
-
A differentiated amenity that positions the center as EV-ready and future-focused in a competitive Atlanta retail market.
For EV drivers, the site fills a critical gap in the I‑85 corridor by offering reliable, high-speed charging at a familiar, amenity-rich destination in Norcross.
What Customers Are Saying

"Car Charger Specialists did an amazing job installing our Tesla charger. They were responsive, professional, and worked quickly. Everything was explained clearly, the install looks clean, and the charger works perfectly. We’re really happy with the quality of their work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing an EV charger installed."
- Jacob C.
"I had a great experience with installation of the plug for my level 2 charger. Communication was prompt and clear, Lee was on time, friendly, and completed the work quickly. They also can work directly with Duke for the NC EV charger installation credit so you don’t have to send in any paperwork yourself."
- Katie Hoagland
Why This Matters for Atlanta Commercial Property Owners
EV registrations in Georgia continue to rise, and metro Atlanta remains one of the state’s most active regions for new EV adoption and public charging. Yet many shopping centers, office parks, and mixed-use developments still rely on slower Level 2 chargers that don’t fully meet the expectations of today’s drivers.
Privately hosted Tesla Supercharger sites like Global Mall show Atlanta commercial property owners that:
-
You do not have to own a Tesla-branded property to host Tesla Supercharger hardware.
-
High-speed charging can become a long-term asset that generates new traffic, supports tenant retention, and improves property perception.
-
Offering both NACS and CCS access helps you serve current Tesla drivers while preparing for the wave of non-Tesla EVs adopting NACS.
This case study provides a real-world blueprint for Atlanta landlords, developers, and retail operators who want to upgrade from basic chargers to true fast-charging destinations.
What Our Partners Say
“EV charging is becoming part of the way people choose where to shop, eat, and travel,” said Lee McDowell, Founder & CEO of Car Charger Specialists. “This project shows what is possible when a property owner wants more than a basic charger. They wanted a professional, high-speed charging destination, and our team helped bring that vision online.”
“Global Mall has always been a regional destination, and this project lets us welcome the next generation of drivers,” said a representative from ChargedEV. “By hosting high-speed charging on-site, we can attract EV drivers, keep them here longer, and give them a better experience while their vehicles charge.”
