Supercharger - Elverson, PA - Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza

[Craig_in_PA]

Any chance anyone has tested since MapGuy11 did on April 23rd to see if the Supercharger at the Peter J. Camiel station is live yet? Will be heading west right past Peter J. Camiel station towards Harrisburg later today and could use a charge.

Planning a stop by later today.

That’s great. I’ll be checking this thread. Thanks!

No juice.

Cabinets still bagged.

Last charger is in poor location, barely reaches parking spot (see photo). Perhaps lines will be repainted? Paint looks pretty fresh tho.

Blink chademos remain, appear to be functional.

Every time I've checked on the status of the charger, I take Marsh Road instead of hoping back on the Turnpike (see map). The access to the road has a gate with keypad but the gate is always open. I checked my EZPass account and I'm not getting charged for 1 entrance, 0 exits (which I thought might trigger the maximum fee (like when you loose your turnpike ticket)). I'm just wondering if this would be legitimate way to charge and head home instead of going to the next exit to turn around.

I feel like you're exposing yourself to fines for toll evasion. Your entrances with no exits probably show up on a report somewhere, so it's only a matter of time before they catch up to you.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was hoping that these SC's could be used for local traffic too but they're really designed for cross state travel. Maybe one day they'll add a West Chester, Exton, or Downingtown SC but I'm sure that's years away...

Any change in the last few days? This would really come in handy this afternoon.

I'm watching this thread like I'm at 8%.

If this isn't open the 18th, I'll be borrowing the wife's ride. ugh.

All I can say is if the Service Plaza is using the same power company (Live in the area) it will be awhile to get inspected.

Juice, there is not.

Drove by today, approx 75 mph. Unable to determine chargability at speed.
Did drive my X to KOP and back. Got home with 16 miles to spare!

My last doc appt for my wrist which had 3 metal pins in it and a cast for 8 week!!!

I'm mostly better I guess, but no more trips to KOP for a $45 co pay for 5 min of doctor time after $50 in tolls... so yay!

No meter as of today. Still bagged.

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Is there a meter shortage too? No juice here or Bowmansville

No, if it's the same power company don't expect anything to get done anytime soon. They take forever to license residential and business properties.
