A Google search yielded this nugget from the New Rochelle City Council meeting of February 14, 2017 (item 29, PDF page 4):

BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of New Rochelle hereby authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with Tesla Motors Inc. relative to the installation of 8 charging stations at the New Roc Garage under the terms and conditions acceptable to the City Manager and Corporation Counsel.

Here is the location on Hueguenot Street between Harrison Street and Lecount Place..

If I recall you have to pay to park at that garage. I wonder if you would have to pay (the property owner) for the charging spots as well.

It appears the answer is yes. Here is one of the stipulations in the City Council resolution:

Whereas, the Tesla customers will pay the standard parking rate for the facility to the City when a vehicle is occupying the parking stall;

Very cool. I'll never use it, but that's a great location -- tons to do at New Roc City.

Revenue goes to the city.
Per their parking website, the garage rates aren't stipulated but the on-street rate is $0.25 for every 15 minutes; guessing the garage is similar. Don't think it would stop me from using it if I needed the charge.

oh me either, just never heard of a charging spot requiring a fee to use (beyond paying tesla for energy if applicable). Can anyone think of another SC that requires this?

Interesting. I understand the area does get a little dicey at night. During the day, it is very nice though.

Anyway -- I read in another forum the possibility that Tesla would consider deducting parking garage fees from the cost of supercharging. Anyone else hear that?

The Supercharger at the Savannah, GA airport requires that you grab a ticket upon entry. If the airport is open, you can go inside while charging, show them your Tesla key and they will validate your parking. If the airport is closed, pay the parking rate and drive on.

There are currently 2 j1772 (very slow, but hey it works and free parking) in the garage. I've been there several times and it is free to park as long as you're charging. I'm assuming it would be the same. Nice thing is they do ticket cars very fast if they are parked and not charging. I would think HPWCs would be better at these locations with proper signage, but let's see if these idle fees actually work.

I have had terrible experience there I have only been able to charge 2 times out of 15 or more trips there the spots are always ICEd yea they might get tickets but I hope Tesla spots don't get all taken.

Any new information on this location??

 

[TSLA_maybe]

Was there this morning. Drove around 3 floors and didn't see any equipment or cordoned off spots to indicate any movement. Only saw 2 non-SC chargers.

 

[tanker5]

Any updates?? Maybe this one will be a "Urban-style" supercharger??

 

[bleclair8281]

I spoke to some folks at the city today. There are 8 planned SC’ers they hope to begin installing in December however I’m told the location isn’t Roc city but the nearby commuter garage.

 

[bleclair8281]

They reached out to me again to tell me the location is in fact at Roc City as previously reported not the city garage sorry for temporary confusion.

Thank you for the update. Will these be the "urban" superchargers or will they be the original style??
