You could be correct but in this case I dont think so. If that was the case I would think you would see a lot more smoke and flame damage on the top unit. The bottom of the top unit does not appear to have any flame or smoke damage.

Well, there are actually 2 possibilities. 1) The root problem was with the utility transformer and this is what Chief Palmieri meant in his statement. Though, from the pictures, that transformer doesn't seem to have been physically damaged. In which case, while primarily a utility problem, the switchgear that Tesla installed also failed to trip off and protect the downstream hardware. To my mind, that's still clearly a failure of the Tesla side hardware or design as well. 2) The Chief was talking about a failure in the autotransformers (ATs) and is therefore incorrect/mistaken in his statement about the ownership or responsibility for the bit of failed hardware. Easy mistake to make if one just assumes that all the transformers on site are utility owned, but that's not the case. The ATs are definitely on the Tesla side of the metaphorical dividing line.
My personal impression based on the pictures is that this was #2 and the Chief was just wrong about that bit. His statement should be read as saying that the failure wasn't in any of the gear that Tesla builds, i.e. the supercharger cabinets or the charging posts.
Yep it’s back open. I was expecting the repairs to take 6+ months so pleased it’s reopen again so quickly.
I can’t recall who to notify to update supercharge info.

That was because of the tropical storm 2 weeks ago... Thinking they didn't update the nav but everything is fine now.
Nice find. From that article:
"PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS, NJ - The town’s Planning Board approved an application to add another eight charging stalls at the Wawa located on New Road for electric vehicles during the Board meeting held on Monday.
Currently, there are eight EV charging stalls at the Wawa, and with the additional eight now being added, there will be 16 stalls."

Great note. The Planning Board member that voted down is a friend and I will reinforce how Tesla is opening the Supercharger network with him.

Very nice!! Seems the additional 8 stalls will be a combination of Tesla and other L3 chargers.
Hopefully, someone who
We'll need eyes on the site to figure out how many of the new stalls are SCs and how many are CCS (or something else).
Can you try to find/watch for the permit? Can you track down the presentation used, if any, by Tesla to the Board? I wonder if we might be looking at a V4 installation that can support CCS?

Maybe, but they mentioned EVGo in the article. And who knows if the reporter got even half the information right....
I will see what I can find out, but they did mention EVgo, so I suspect not.

Another high traffic major NJ highway crossroads location, Woodbridge WaWa, has 8 250kW on north side of parking lot, 8 150kW chargers on south side of lot. I wonder if this will become the highway hub standard going forward.
Construction on the expansion has begun. I’ll try to snap some photos tomorrow - it was too dark tonight, but the ground is open, conduit is partially installed and there are Tesla cabinets on site. Still not sure what the split will be between Tesla and EVgo. Will try to dig.
I was in the area today and an additional 4 Tesla charging stalls have been installed. There were additional stalls (not sure how many) for a different charging network…I guess EVgo. I didn’t manage to snap any pics but the site is still under construction.
Existing 8 stalls remain open.
