South Boston SC parking fee

[JPoldo]

Is there a parking lot fee to use this SuC on Allstate Rd in S Boston? I am downsizing from a suburban residence to an apartment in the city so losing NEMA 14-50 in the family garage.

According to the thread for that location, South Bay, Boston Super Charger., it was free parking. But that was from December 2017, so it's possible that it has changed since then. Also, they said that the garage closed at 1:30AM.

Yep still free there’s also a couple level two ChargePoints in that garage but they are typically occupied.

Thanks for all replies. Before creating a thread, I search for previous ones on the same topic. However, using "Allstate Rd SC" was a poor choice on my part as it produced nothing. Allstate SC produces an insurance co.

I used it several months ago late one night. There was no parking fee. In fact, I don't recall a gate, attendant, ticket dispensing machine, or any way to collect parking fees.

If you're looking for information on a specific supercharger, a good way to find the right one is to go to the map on Supercharge.info, click on the dot for the location you're interested in and then click "discuss" on the flag that opens up. That's how I found the right thread. The search function on TMC can be a bit hit or miss.

We charge there anywhere from 2 to 5 times a week, free, a good deal to do (shop at Target, grocery, movie, dinner) and never seen it full.

Curious, where you moving in the city? If South Boston or Seaport, there is a secret road that goes from next to BCEC straight there pretty much. It doesn't show up on navs thus never traffic and fully cuts out 93 or 90.

Avoid that charger. There are teens there riding bikes.

Nate, thanks for the secret road as I was dreading a drive on 93S, the "distressway."
We are moving from a large home in metrowest to a small 3 bdrm apartment in Seaport. My garage spot has a ChargePoint station, but it isn't as fast as my current NEMA 14-50. For a faster charge, the South Bay SuC will become very handy. It feels like everything is downsizing in my life.

Yes, no parking charge. Been there many times post Logan. Great place to charge before long trip home. No parking fees, and plenty of restaurants surrounding it. Only issue is you can get dizzy going all the way up to the top level

By secret do you mean Haul Road? This is usually restricted to commercial trucks only, but I think it actually legal for all traffic outside of business hours.

It used to be like that, but now the signs indicates it is open to all traffic with no restrictions. I guess nav system haven't caught on.
