Supercharger - Kearny/Harrison, NJ

[JSergeant]

I swung by here on my way home after dinner in Newark this evening - no change - the covers are still on the stalls.

The traffic getting out of the Wawa at 8:30pm was terrible.

I agree. This due to the Walmart primarily.

Hey, I don’t moderate this section but have reported it to the appropriate mod.

Could you ask them again and maybe have it moved to the Mid-Atlantic section.

And the name. Any possible moderators @ecarfan @TEG @Doug_G pls?

 

[Doug_G]

Moved.

 

[Yinn]

Thanks for moving it! This should be a decent option for those going to and from EWR. No more worrying about running down to Menlo or paying for parking at Jersey City.

 

[MarcoRP]

Superchargers are still under tarps!

There's another exit. Make right instead of left when coming out of WAWA. and then right again onto the road leading to Harrison Ave.

Thanks. Yes, I had a look at the map after I was there and see that this is possible.

Drive by on 12/5/18. Looks like all work has been completed, 8 units covered with "Coming Soon" wraps. 8 stalls in an odd pattern, 4 and 4 at the back of the lot near the gas pumps, 2 are head in units. Signs say 10 minute general parking but the chargers are pretty far from Wawa entrance.

They have been covered like this for almost 2 months now. I wish I knew what they ate waiting for.

Do you see a power transformer. That is usually the delay. Getting the feeder from the power company and the transformer. I don't see any pictures showing it (out of frame of what is shown)

I’m not an expert but I don’t think there’s a transformer yet. There seems to be about 4 conduits coming out of the ground that aren’t connected to anything.

That sounds like where the pre-cast slab for the transformer will go, so it's in the power companies hands, and it will be a while.

How long is "a while"?

 

[Syd]

varies greatly, from week to months, which turf is Harrison (power company)?

Most likely PSEG and they don’t seem to be very friendly

Hopefully not like other examples of PSEGs work but it could be. Jersey City took 4 months waiting on PSEG. North Brunswick took a long time too.

I stopped by yesterday. There is no transformer installed. Really annoying how it is waiting on the power company!

At the end of October, @navinsiri took a picture which showed that the utility transformer hadn't been installed yet (see post #14 in this thread). It sounds like that hasn't changed. I've highlighted the picture to show where the transformer will go and you can see the conduit stubs sticking up through the concrete pad. So, until that gets installed don't expect any progress. As for what is taking so long to get it installed, it could be a number of things and not all of them contingent on the local power company's scheduling. These transformers are large, expensive hardware with long lead times (i.e. you may have to order/buy them 6-8 months before they are delivered).

Stopped by today (Dec 26), didn't see a transformer.
