Supercharger - Newark, DE

[mmccord]

It's also centered on the space, which of course is not the correct alignment to charge a Tesla.

This has been a long-standing issue in Newark.
The guy that paints the lines there is cross-eyed.

Pssstt: that's before they moves the stalls.

From Delaware Division of Energy and Climate.
"We noticed this new Tesla charging station a few weeks ago, and aren’t sure who installed it. The Level 2 charging stations that are on the green posts were installed with a partnership by the University of Delaware and the Division of Energy and climate in 2014, but we’re excited to see that others are interested in the location. We actually chose that area of the Welcome Center in hope that the number of charging stations there would increase!

I spoke with the General Manager of the Travel Plaza at Newark and he said they do not know who installed it. It was put there without his prior knowledge and he is trying to find out how it got there.

Thanks to @CHRGIT we know the people from the Charging Up Delaware program claim it wasn't them.

It's really there. @mczajka confirms it.

Note that the metal cylinders on each side of the stall are still covered with the white protective film that stays on during new Supercharger construction. But there are no apparent signs of trenching. It's not really oriented so that Teslas pulling a trailer could use it, so that theory is out. I'm stumped.

I'm going to guess a HPWC but tesla decided to use the SC cabinet because of the location. Random guess.

Or maybe a SuC for people pulling trailers?

Without anyone knowing about it?

 

[andrewket]

Oops, now I'm caught up on the thread. Ummmm weird. Almost as weird as Laurel

 

[andrewket]

It might be kind of fun to sneak around in the middle of the night installing chargers. Maybe it's the supercharger team having fun with us.

The word is that it's the first Model 3 charge port. You think.

 

[Lanny]

Maybe someone who got stranded here during the four-day Supercharger blackout decided to build their own private backup.

 

[gavine]

Maybe Sheetz is building a store there and wanted to get their SC installed first so they can build around it.

 

[AlMc]

It will be for future truck charging. book it.

 

[Xenius]

I bet it's Tesla being coy and to get other EV owners using the L2 chargers to decide, hmmmm, maybe I want a Tesla instead?

 

[Lanny]

Maybe the mystery stall is this.

@Lanny, Thats it the new pay as you go chargers for the Model 3
