Supercharger - Columbia, NJ

[MidnightRider]

Spotted 8 chargers between exit 4 and exit 3(?) @ the Travel Center, awaiting cabinet installation.

Bad: the restrooms don't open until 11AM! or the food court. there is a 24hr McDs just up the road.
Good: easy on/off to 80 west
I'll probably get heat for this one.........
WTF Tesla! No way to charge if pulling a trailer! Tesla really needs to start thinking about this. The location is a main location for people pulling. you cant be dropping a 6000 to 9000lbs trailer with weight distribution in a parking lot to charge. You're not going to be able to charge at The Crossings up the road as there's no way your getting into the lot during the day.

I really should reconsider my "I don't go to New Jersey" policy. It was formulated primarily because I don't trust gas station attendants with my credit card .

Had me confused as when I see DWG I think of the actual municipality on the PA side of the bridge rather than the geologic formation. I'd think that the PA welcome center would have more room but not sure what kind of electric service they have to support it.

I actually stopped there for the first time ever cause the travel center W/ the Supercharges was closed, The water gap bathrooms aren't open yet, it was my last hope. LOL

I think they could support it with no issues. there is a factory right next to it, plus there is truck parking there ...hint hint .. good place for drive through chargers

Any updates about this supercharger? I plan to go to Delaware Water Gap in 3 weeks...

Not going to happen by then. Drove past today didn't look like any changes from the highway. Cabinets are still wrapped.

Paid a bridge toll and got stuck in traffic to bring you this important message: no juice. Unclear if wire mess in photograph is reason.

Well, I'm sure the lack of a utility transformer there on the pad connected to the ends of those wires is at least part of the reason. But there may be other things still needing to be done as well.

Which tesla is rated to pull that much?

No it maxes out at 3,500lbs on the Y and 5,000 on the X.

 

[Lanny]

Utility transformer is now in place. No sign of a meter or even an enclosure for a meter. Perhaps the meter rack will go where these pipes are sticking out of the ground.

CyberTruck! When it finally gets here. Also as someone noted elsewhere, U-Haul trailers don't have a jack to lift them off your vehicle. So if its loaded your not getting it off your vehicle.

 

[MidnightRider]

Odd update. 2 or 3 weeks ago saw a crew of trucks working on this site early in the morning. Next day, on the way back home noticed the Meter installed, but oddly the cabinet nearest the highway was still covered. Still covered as of this afternoon.

 

[MarcoRP]

Now open. Check your maps
