    NEW JERSEY First Energy/JCP&L Charging Incentives

    SO I provide electrician with correct info. If I want him/her to run a supply line to other side of garage from breaker panel, have 60+ amps available to supply the charger, etc. What supply electrical cord is called for (gauge etc) for a ChargePoint CHP50? Distance would be about 20'

    Enlightening Round Numbers Miles/kWh used/Avg WH/mi

    I just hit some round numbers on my 2021 MYLR. Drove 45,000 miles, used 12,000 KW for an average 267 WH/MI rating. I'm in my early 60's so I don't have a lead foot but consistent highway speeds of 70-80 MPH. If I only used home charging at .15/kWh, it would have cost me $ 1,800 to drive the...

    PSE&G New Credits: .105 per kWh and how to get a JuiceBox for less than $100 Installed - NJ

    Any possibility JCP&L will follow/be forced to follow PSEG's lead? Was it a PSEG initiative or a nudge/push from the State of NJ?

    Tesla 14-50 Gen 1 Gen 2 Charging Cable Gone Bad

    Hi All, I had a 2015 MS and now a '21 MY & '22 M3. A few years back my Gen 1 cable crapped out. It would pop breakers when plugged into 14-50 receptacle. Just yesterday my Gen 2 charging cable crapped out also. No green lights (or red light) show on transformer unit. I took cable to Tesla...

    PSE&G New Credits: .105 per kWh and how to get a JuiceBox for less than $100 Installed - NJ

    You sure they cut the kWh pricing by 5 times? A 2/3 price cut? I see it on the PSERG website. Sounds amazing

    Tesla Needs a Service Center in Syracuse, NY

    Tesla building on Indian Nation tribal lands to bypass state car dealer protection laws. One on Oneida Nation lands upstate NY, another slated for Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Automaker Tesla is opening more showrooms on tribal lands to avoid state laws barring direct sales

    Crash Course for first responders

    As a retired firefighter, what do you offer on extinguishing a Tesla fire? Our past experience is WATER....Lots of WATER and lots of time. Unlike traditional vehicle fires, a fire involving the battery system is a runaway chemical/electrical event. I would attend your next convenient class.

    NEW JERSEY First Energy/JCP&L Charging Incentives

    Again people, read the fine print of the JCP&L language for the .02/kWh savings. At end of month/billing period, it subtracts any EV charging time/usage during peak hours from the off-peak hours for a net savings. Charge 100 kWH off peak, you save .02 x the 100 kWH used. If you charge 35 hours...

    One Plate License in NJ?

    You can still be pulled over & ticketed by NJ police for no front license plate. Many risk it, others have purchased quick on/off plate holders. Since EV's in NJ don't need to go to vehicle inspection EVER, that would be another place where a car would fail for no front plate. The missing plate...

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    Wondered as I exited I-95 and saw this supercharger location why it didn't show up on navigation map. I'm from NJ so I'm not a usual CT user. Seeing the forum, I see it's a new build not yet operational. Wondering though why the cables appear cut.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I own a 2015 S and a 2021 Y. I've followed the forums and see people complaining they've ordered their Tesla a year ago or many months ago and their delivery date changes almost daily. When the legislation passed that allowed for Tesla to receive the $7,500 point of sale rebate recently, I...

    NJ - JCP@L Off Peak

    I don't believe the utility reimburses you for cost of the actual charger. Only labor/materials by licensed electrician for the install. NJ may offer a $250 rebate for actual charger.

    NJ - JCP@L Off Peak

    Is there any hope (like PSE&G did) of expanding the list of appropriate chargers. $900 for a ChargePoint vs $400 for the Tesla charger, it will be quite a while before that price delta is made up.

    NJ - JCP@L Off Peak

    You noted you pay .02 cents below off-peak for the EV charging. Is there an upcharge for normal house electricity usage? Or is treated as though there are two meters/accounts and one doesn't affect the other? As stated earlier, I'm not telling my wife/kids to keep the air conditioning off until...

    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    I spoke to WaWa store manager today. Informed me construction broke a pipe when building. Unknown if water, gas, electric but that those issues were resolved. The manager stated the chargers would be soft opened before 8/31 and fully open a few by 8/31. Unsure who valid this is but surely the...

    Supercharger - Parsippany, NJ

    NEW JERSEY First Energy/JCP&L Charging Incentives

    Seems First Energy/JCP&L is finally offering incentives to add home charging capability. Not for hardware at first read, but for electrician labor to run cabling/make connections. Also offering a .02/kWh discount for off-peak. Waited for years and hardly worth the effort.

    Thx all. If there were a 14-50 connection for the Gen 2 cable available, I would order but its out of stock so many times. Until I opened the cable pouch on the '21 Y the other day, didn't even know that section was no longer supplied
