I never claimed they had installed a SuperCharger in the parking lot at The Oakman. You should go back and re-read the last few messages. I am specifically saying that the claim that there are now SuperChargers on 1st St is incorrect. There is a SINGLE charger inside the parking lot at The Oakman. It is a parking lot open to the public. But, like all parking lots in the area, it is an expensive lot. No one at The Oakman owns a Tesla that is garaged at that lot. I dont have to go for a walk to check the area. I live right at the area. I walk my dog several times every day. I would know if there is a Tesla charger anywhere within a 4 block square area. We have the Greenspot chargers, a single Fast DC charger (large orange box) and a single Tesla charger inside the Oakman parking lot.

I called The Oakman, they transferred me to the project manager who transferred me to another person who transferred me to the guy from Greenspot. I asked him about superchargers, and he said they're in the garage. He said they were working on certifying them last night and he doesn't know if they're operational yet. He said, "there are three dual-port ones, so 6 chargers total." He did confirm that yes, you'd have to pay to access the garage, and they are on ground floor. I made sure to distinguish between Tesla wall chargers and superchargers. If what this guy is saying is true, that's very disappointing that we'd have to pay luxury garage parking fees just to access the supercharger :/
The Urban chargers at the mall are the answer to my issues...we still need to wait for those to open...it sucks large but in case of an emergency I would happily pay the extra bucks to charge quickly...
Its BS there are plenty of places along the NJ turnpike extension that can be used for standard NO parking superchargers.
In general Super chargers are in free to extremely low cost parking lots. However, in cities there are SCs in expensive parking lots - the Prudential Center in Boston is a case in point. The minimum fee is about $24 for the first hour. You can get this reduced to $12 by validating your parking ticket at a store with a minimum purchase of $10. There have been times in the NY area where I would have gladly paid $20 to gain access to a nearby SC so I am sure this SC will get use.
However, because the Newport Mall no longer shows on the map I am a bit worried that they may have abandoned that plan. If they still plan to open it, it should appear with a target time frame. I am thinking that the slowdown in the Model 3 rollout has also caused them to slow down their SC plans.
I hope not. It does not make any sense as they have already spent a lot of money to install 20 urban chargers, but you never know..I would be extremely pissed if that happens

Since the Greenspot person is providing the same information as the Tesla Find Us page and the original supercharger site this thread is about has 20 stalls and is in a different location, it is clear there are two sites. We just need some confirmation of the The Oakman superchargers. In the mean time, there is no reason to believe the original 20 stall site is open yet.
Just emailed the manager of the mall. As soon as I know something I will post it. The 6 superchargers are working. I spoke with the garage. It is confirmed and done. You can charge for $7 (first hour) tonite if you want. Let's hope for the mall. They must have some dignity left. Little man garage got this done in no time..They must be ashamed...I feel it
@electra2016. This is good news. Thanks for the leg work on this. Fingers crossed on the Newport location.

Ok..
Old site now listed as “Jersey City - Newport” on supercharge.info. New 6 stall site listed as “Jersey City - Waterfront”. Does that sound right?

As I mentioned before, I live right next to this building and, therefore, the parking lot in question. Personally, I would never go charge at this lot. I am not handing over my keys to those guys to move my car around as needed, particularly since most of the cars are driven onto gravel. Heck, at one point, they were taking more cars than they could fit and were parking them on the street. NO thank you. If I need a charge, I will forego the free supercharge and just use the on street stalls and pay for that. It will be less than paying the lot fees, anyway.
Weird naming in that the mall is actually closer to the Waterfront than The Oakman. But, I guess that makes some sense.
Those are the two sites but the big concern is that Newport is no longer on the official Tesla map. Supercharge.info tells us what we already know - there is a big site that looks ready to go but is stuck for some reason and Tesla has removed it. Hopefully just an error.
I stopped by the 160 1st Street Supercharger location this afternoon. There are six Urban Superchargers there in a private lot connected to the Oakman building. Parking is $7 for the first hour, $9 for two hours. The parking is done by an attendant. I charged for ten minutes or so so that I can count it in the Superchargers Visited competition. I was only getting about 47kW of charge (in an S90D at about 60% SOC when I arrived.)
I also stopped by the Newport Center Mall to check out the Superchargers there. They are still wrapped in plastic bags.
There are photos at the link below (3 of the Newport Mall, the rest of the Oakman parking lot Superchargers.)

There are a lot of Level 2 chargers in front of the Oakman building. I forgot to take pictures of those.
