That's not on the way between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Well, not the way Google goes, which looks pretty direct; Pittsburgh is more west than north of Baltimore; it would add 90 or so miles to go up to Newark and then west (again, based on Google).
Glad it helped! I credit Evan (efusco) with the AllStays suggestion. He posted it here: iPhone Charger Locator Apps other options - Page 2 Checked it out and I never knew there were so many potential 50A outlets available along the highways in AZ. And the ones I'm looking at actually look like they have things to do that will help pass the time. I found one right in the middle (155 mi) from my place in PHX to Vegas (and it's at elevation so will be bearable in the summer). Seeing all these gives me more confidence in sticking with the 60kWh+SC capability.
Yeah, I downloaded the wrong app last night (the AllStays Hotel one that cost $0.99). I was hesitant to download another until I made sure I knew which to get. But once I get my car (still at least 3 months away), I'll make sure I do get the right one. Til then, I can track them on my Mac.
Much the same situation for me I also have yet to see my due bill but I have been told that it was passed on to the Chicago service center. I am waiting to see if it comes with all the completed paper work for registering the car but I am unsure of when that will show up.

Yes I had been using the Recargo app that EFusco also mentioned, and that does show some additional charging spots that I didn't see elsewhere. But still there is a noticeable gap between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, which is also where any DC/Baltimore traffic to Pittsburgh would travel. I mentioned this to Ownership Experience, and suggested Breezewood (junction of I-70 and I-76) as an ideal Supercharger location...I will be very interested to see where the Superchargers land in this neck of the woods.
FWIW, if you decide to go again, it appears that Shawnee State Park, on I-70 just west of the I-99 intersection, is open year-round and has 50A RV charging. I think the OP made the right call not to go -- that trip's vertical profile is pretty scary. Shawnee State Park is just west of the most serious Appalachian ridges.

I don't think the OP would go all the way up to I-80, he would probably go I-70 to I-76. I still haven't called the other state parks today. But his best bet would have been a few of the Nissan dealerships, and without a J1772 he was SOL.

OK I see where that is...a pretty good spot to charge up before you hit the elevation changes in the Laurel Highlands if heading West, or afterwards if heading East.
