Jan. 6, 2022
The fueling center's EV charging site will not only address the growing demand of EVs traveling in the area, but the rapidly expanding population of EV light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks hitting the roads soon, a company leader said

Go-Station, a developer of EV charging infrastructure, will break ground on a new DC fast EV charging site for passenger cars and heavy-duty trucks at the Port Fueling Center at 5712 Augusta Road, adjacent to the Port of Savannah.

Sean Register, Managing Director of the Fuel Center, said, “The Savannah Port Fueling Center is a prime example of our commitment to economic expansion, job growth, a more sustainable future, and our customers. We are thrilled to be partnering with Go-Station in making such a significant contribution to Savannah and EV transportation with a center near the largest and fastest-growing container terminal in America.”

Go-Station's president and CEO Andrew Hisey explained, “The fueling center's EV charging site will not only address the growing demand of EVs traveling in the area, but the rapidly expanding population of EV light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks hitting the roads soon. This is a critical EV charging infrastructure development that will enable private and commercial vehicles to complete EV journeys not possible today.”

The Port Fuel Center, which will open this month, will also have a food and fueling facility for drayage and freight operators, live digital monitors displaying stacking details at each port interchange gate, an overnight parking facility for up to 80 trucks, a medical facility, EV shuttle service, truck repair facility, outdoor handwashing stations, showers, trucker paperwork drop boxes, a Wendy's® outlet, 16 gasoline pumps, 10 DEF diesel lanes, and 3 fuel lanes for Compressed Natural Gas.
