Supercharger - Denver, PA - Bowmansville Service Plaza

[alexzz123]

I also drove by the Bowmansville service plaza, there appears to be supercharger packages next to the blink chargers. But the ground hasn’t been torn into yet.

A rainy day at Bowmansville.

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Coming along nicely. Cabinets and pedestals in place.

Photobomb by my index finger

Wow, pretty quick progress. When do you think it'll open? Thanks for the updates.

Sometime between now and when the sun burns out.

A watched SuperCharger never charges.

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Fencing gone.
Cabinets still bagged.
Of note: Blink chargers not going anywhere.

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Still bagged in Bowmansville.

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Drove by today, approx 75 mph. Unable to determine chargability at speed.

 

[queuewho]

Stopped yesterday and drove by opposite direction today, saw they were still bagged both times.

 

[scott1954wa]

actually operational now

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Yup.

Someone changed the name to Bowmansville, PA on supercharge.info, which is incorrect. Tesla refers to this location as Denver, PA… for now.

I suggest using Denver, PA - Bowmansville Service Plaza (eastbound) for an unambiguous name.

I think we should try to match Tesla's name, even when they don't choose the best or most accurate one. If we pick a different name (even if more accurate) it could be confusing to people who only casually use supercharge.info or the iOS Superchargers app. Those of us who follow Superchargers closely may know it's the same location with a different name, but most wouldn't. A non-enthusiast should be able to look at the in-car navigation and supercharge.info (and apps that use our API) and know they are looking at the same Supercharger location.

Since the in-car nav displays this as Denver, PA, I'll rename it back to that.

Is this accessible from PA 625? I see a road on the map there, but don't know if it's gated or blocked.

I would not relay on that. That's a gated employee only entrance.

These are in Pennsylvania Turnpike Service Plazas so there isn't any external access to the chargers.
