Supercharger - Elwood, NJ

Looks like this one is getting close to completion, but still appears to be waiting on the big green transformer on that empty pad on the left side with the orange cones. This was posted on my FB today:

Is the energy company's transformer (big green box) in yet? If not, it really isn't close to being finished. Once the transformer is in, the utility company has to install the meter. At that point, we will be close. Hopefully, someone can stop by and at least find the concrete pad for the transformer.

Stopped by on Tuesday. There were a bunch of workers there -- hopefully working on the transformer. I didn't have time to stop and chat but just took this photo. Hopefully we in the final countdown for this.

Interesting that one of those purple signs is different.

Just stopped by and it doesn't look much different from the pictures posted two weeks ago. The chargers are blocked off by cones.

How many of us are going to check it out this weekend looking for the meter base? going to be hourly updates...

 

[Shorebiket]

It is open according to my Tesla app! Someone should stop by and check it out.

It looks like on the map the supercharger is on the northbound side. Can you access this supercharger if you are driving south on the expressway? Sorry if that’s a dumb question, not familiar with the road and if it’s limited access.

yes

Yes, the superchargers are accessible from both directions. There is a road near the gas station that connects the two sides. It’s a large paved area with the lanes in both directions just painted on the pavement.

I actually nabbed it easier from SB (leaving the shore)

I think we have a semantic issue here. I think you're saying you were traveling from AC->Philly. I'd call that north bound and I haven't seen it yet but my understanding is that is where they are at. Guess it doesn't matter if you can get at it from either direction. And I'd probably hit it going that way anyway. I can almost get to my sister's (Rio Grande) and back but not quite so it makes sense to stop going home.

Yes I could be mixing it up. It’s closer to the side of the plaza that you enter when you’re traveling from AC to Philly. But it’d accessible from both directions.

Given your trip and state of charge it makes sense to hit it on the way home.
