Supercharger - Jersey City, NJ - Mall Drive West

[Cory]

They may be building one at Newport Centre mall in NJ

I am eagerly waiting for the Jersey City location to come up - cant wait.

Newport Mall charges for parking so would be interesting how it would work if they install it there - i thoought they might do it around Liberty Science Center or around there

Where was this?

 

[mmccord]

Makes sense, given their existing relationship with Simon malls (tannersville), and since Woodbury NY is on their 2018 map, i suspect that SC will be at Woodbury commons.

Nice reconnaissance work!

Can we tell from the crates if this is an urban supercharger or a "standard" one?

 

[paulkva]

I count at least 9 crates on that truck, possibly 10. If all those creates are for Jersey City, that means 18-20 plugs. Nice.

has construction started? any pics?

Update on location and date

 

[itzSamit]

Parking in Newport Mall is paid - so does that mean we have to pay for parking to use this supercharger?

I believe is just $2.25 for 2 hours. Cheap cheap

Thanks - agree that shouldn't be an issue at all.

Can't wait for this location to be functional. Coverage in North NJ and New York is extremely poor

Agreed. It is a great location with so many stores just 2 minutes away from the Holland tunnel. I will stop by this weekend hoping to post some pics of the working side (if any).

Guys I live about 10min walk A news of Jersey City supercharger got me pretty excited. I had a chance to walk around and identified the construction site. It is located on the first floor in the very back wall of middle portion of the parking lot.
It will be disappointment to some including myself that chargers are "City Superchargers" with 75KW limit

 

[CorynNC]

All new chargers are good news

Thank you so much for the pics. I also walked there Saturday and I think they will be up and running before Dec 15. Do not worry about the Urban Charger. Those new stations have a dedicated charging capacity of 72 kW per stall – meaning that the overall charging capacity of the station stays roughly the same as the non-urban Superchargers.

72kW is a helluva lot more than the 6-18kW you could get otherwise! I swear that some of these Supercharger 'snobs' need to try some L2 charging once in a while, maybe condemn them to a week of Blink charging.

You are hilarious...and yes 72KW is plenty considering that is a dedicated line for each urban charger. The traditional supercharger speed varies with the number of car plugged in...this is not the case if I read the article correctly..overall amazing news for Jersey residents.

 

[inconel]

Traditional supercharger and urban charger have the same transformers, two stalls sharing one transformer. The transformer is capable of outputting 150kW. In the traditional supercharger the first stall can get up to 120kW, then the second stall can only get 30kW. When rate of charge tapers for the first vehicle (battery getting more full) the charge rate of the second vehicle goes up.
I think in the urban charger the maximum rate of each stall is limited to 72kW so that the two paired stalls are more "independent" of each other.

Update as of 11/23/17, turns out there not 16 but 20! chargers already installed, see the latest pics.
Sine they all already installed, opening date looks sooner than Dec 15. Lets hope!
