Imagine pulling onto the pristine, emerald-green grounds of Muirfield Village Golf Club. The air is crisp, the gallery is hushed, and the only thing smoother than a Jack Nicklaus-designed fairway is the silent glide of your Tesla Model 3. But even the most advanced electric vehicle needs a juice-up eventually. If you’re navigating the rolling hills of Dublin, Ohio, during the Memorial Tournament or just visiting for a weekend getaway, knowing where to plug in is the difference between a seamless trip and "range anxiety" ruining your back nine.
At Frontier Tesla, we’ve helped hundreds of travelers navigate the Central Ohio EV landscape. We don't just rent cars; we provide the roadmap for the modern electric lifestyle. Dublin isn't just a suburb; it’s a burgeoning tech hub where the infrastructure finally matches the innovation of the vehicles we drive.
Finding the Nearest Spark: Superchargers Near Muirfield Village Golf Club
When you’re at Muirfield Village, time is your most valuable asset. You don't want to spend an hour hunting for a plug. So, where is the closest Tesla Supercharger to Muirfield Village Golf Club?
The answer is the Dublin, OH Supercharger located at 6700 Perimeter Loop Rd. Situated in the Giant Eagle parking lot just off Avery Road, this station is a mere 3.2 miles from the main gates of Muirfield Village. Under normal traffic conditions, you can get from the golf course to a high-speed charging stall in less than eight minutes.
This location is a "V3" Supercharger. What does that mean for you? It means power delivery up to 250kW. If your battery is low, you can add up to 75 miles of range in just five minutes. It’s the perfect length of time to grab a coffee or a quick snack inside Giant Eagle before heading back to the tournament.
Why the Avery Road Location Wins
We’ve found that this specific location is the gold standard for Dublin visitors. It features eight stalls, and because it’s tucked into a busy shopping center, the area is well-lit and safe at all hours.
Here’s a quick tip: If the Avery Road stalls are full—which can happen during the peak of the Memorial Tournament—your best secondary option is the Tuttle Crossing Supercharger. Located at 5061 Tuttle Crossing Blvd, it’s about 6 miles from Muirfield. It’s slightly further, but it’s a larger station with more stalls, making it a reliable backup during high-traffic events.
Counting the Kilowatts: The Real Cost of Charging in Dublin, OH
One of the most frequent questions we get at our rental hubs is: "How much does it cost to charge a Tesla in Dublin, OH?"
The cost of charging isn't a flat rate; it fluctuates based on where you plug in and when. In Dublin, you’re looking at three primary tiers of pricing:
- Residential Charging: If you’re staying at an Airbnb or a friend’s house, you’re likely paying the AEP Ohio residential rate. As of mid-2024, this averages around $0.14 to $0.16 per kWh. To fill a standard 60kWh Model 3 battery from empty to full, you’re looking at roughly $9.00.
- Tesla Supercharging: This is the premium option for speed. Tesla uses "Time of Use" pricing at the Avery Road and Tuttle Crossing locations. During off-peak hours (typically after 7:00 PM and before 10:00 AM), rates can be as low as $0.24 per kWh. During peak afternoon hours, expect to pay closer to $0.42 to $0.48 per kWh. A typical "fill-up" (20% to 80%) at a Supercharger in Dublin will cost you between $12 and $22.
- Public Level 2 Charging: Many parking garages in the Bridge Park area offer Level 2 charging. These are often billed by the hour rather than the kWh. Rates usually hover around $1.50 to $2.00 per hour.
Compared to the price of premium gasoline at the stations along Riverside Drive, the savings are substantial. Even at peak Supercharger rates, you're paying significantly less than you would to fuel a traditional luxury sedan.
Hidden Gems: Free Tesla Destination Chargers Near the Memorial Tournament
Everyone loves a freebie. While Superchargers are built for speed, Destination Chargers are built for convenience. These are Level 2 chargers located at hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers where you’re likely to spend a few hours.
Are there free Tesla destination chargers near the Memorial Tournament gates? Yes, but you have to know where to look.
The Bridge Park Advantage
Bridge Park is the crown jewel of Dublin’s recent development. It’s a walkable district filled with high-end dining and retail. More importantly for you, it’s an EV haven.
The AC Hotel Columbus Dublin and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbus Dublin both offer Tesla Destination Charging. While these are technically reserved for guests, we’ve found that many local establishments are happy to let you plug in if you’re stopping in for a meal or a drink.
Public Garages and Hidden Plugs
The Longshore Garage and the Mooney Garage in Bridge Park often have designated EV spots. While some require a small fee for parking, the electricity itself is frequently provided at no additional cost as an incentive to visit the district.
If you’re looking for something even closer to the Muirfield gates, check the Embassy Suites by Hilton Columbus Dublin on Upper Metro Place. They maintain several Tesla-specific wall connectors. It’s a strategic spot to leave your car while you take a shuttle or a rideshare the final mile to the tournament.
Navigating Dublin: A Tesla Driver’s Guide to the Memorial Tournament
Driving a Tesla during one of the PGA Tour’s most prestigious events is a unique experience. The traffic around Glick Road and Muirfield Drive can be intense. However, a Tesla gives you a distinct advantage: Autopilot.
All Frontier Tesla rentals are self-driving capable. While you should always keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, the "Traffic-Aware Cruise Control" is a lifesaver when you’re inching along in tournament traffic. It handles the stop-and-go movement effortlessly, reducing the fatigue that usually comes with event parking.
Preconditioning for Maximum Efficiency
Here’s a pro tip we give all our clients: If you’re planning to hit the Avery Road Supercharger after leaving the course, use the in-car navigation to set the Supercharger as your destination.
The car will automatically begin "preconditioning" the battery. This warms (or cools) the battery cells to the optimal temperature for rapid charging. Without preconditioning, your charge speed might be throttled, turning a 15-minute stop into a 40-minute ordeal.
Why a Tesla Rental is the Ultimate Memorial Tournament Accessory
When you book with Frontier Tesla, you aren't just getting a car. You're getting a curated experience. We understand that the Memorial Tournament is about more than just golf; it's about prestige, comfort, and the future of the sport.
- Downtown Pickup: No need to trek to the airport. We offer pickup locations in downtown Columbus and throughout the Dublin area.
- Self-Driving Capability: Navigate the suburban sprawl of Central Ohio with the latest FSD (Full Self-Driving) software.
- The "Frunk" Factor: Need a place to store your tournament swag or a small cooler? The front trunk (frunk) is the perfect, secure spot that keeps your cabin clutter-free.
Renting a Tesla allows you to experience the luxury of Muirfield Village without the environmental footprint. It’s a statement. It says you value performance and sustainability in equal measure.
The Technical Side: V2 vs. V3 Supercharging in Dublin
Not all chargers are created equal. If you’re a data nerd like we are, you’ll appreciate the difference between the two main Supercharger hubs in Dublin.
| Feature | Avery Road (Giant Eagle) | Tuttle Crossing Blvd |
|---|---|---|
| Charger Type | V3 (Up to 250kW) | V2 (Up to 150kW) |
| Stalls | 8 | 12 |
| Best For | Maximum Speed | Reliability/Availability |
| Nearby Amenities | Grocery, Starbucks, Pharmacy | Mall, Restaurants, Retail |
The V3 technology at Avery Road uses a liquid-cooled cable, which is thinner and easier to handle than the older V2 cables. More importantly, V3 stations do not share power between stalls. At a V2 station, if someone plugs in next to you, your charge speed might be cut in half. At Avery Road, you get the full "firehose" of electricity regardless of who is parked nearby.

The Future of Central Ohio’s EV Infrastructure
Dublin is just the beginning. According to a 2024 report by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), Central Ohio is slated to see a 40% increase in public charging ports over the next 24 months. This growth is driven by the "Intel Effect"—the massive semiconductor facility being built nearby—which is bringing a wave of tech-savvy residents and visitors to the region.
We’re seeing more "pull-through" charging stalls designed for vehicles with trailers, and more integration of solar canopies at charging hubs. Dublin is at the forefront of this transition, making it the perfect place to pilot an electric vehicle if you haven't already.
