Was out doing errands a few mins away from here, so I swung by. Still has the "Coming Soon" bags over the superchargers as of 1:30pm, whatever brought Kearny online has not made its way out west yet, haha.

Just was at rockaway, which was working fine, so thought I’d swing by Parsippany, just to see if lightning struck twice.
It didn’t. Covers still on

Stopped at the Wawa this morning and saw they finally put a sign on that last sign post... but it’s contradictory. The space isn’t painted blue nor does it have the extra blue-lined space the “van accessible” spots need, and that would take up 2 or 3 supercharging stalls. It’s also strange as the superchargers are about as far away from the building as you can get - not ideal for a handicapped spot at all.
I have no clue what they’re doing. It says ONLY Tesla charging, but could a cop give you a ticket because of the other sign?

The need for disabled accessible EV Charging Stations (EVCS) is required by current interpretation of federal law (Americans with Disabilities Act). Exactly how to go about meeting that requirement though can be different in different states. I'm not familiar with the NJ rules, only the CA ones. But as CA was the first to establish and certify their rules for this, many states are essentially adopting them whole cloth and just making minor modifications to match their marking systems, etc. But for CA, the rules are that the stall needs to have the ISA (blue/white wheelchair symbol) post sign at the head of the stall but the ground markings should say "EV Charging Only". If the ground markings were also the ISA then it would be a disabled access parking space. An EVCS isn't a parking stall and they are treated differently under the law. So, in CA, someone without disabled placards/plates who was charging in that stall would be liable to getting a ticket. But also, someone who did have placards/plates, but wasn't using the stall to charge would likewise be liable to getting a ticket. Again, it's not a parking stall. Basically, it is a stall that is set aside for Tesla owners with disabled placards/plates to charge at.
As for the location being far from the building, the requirement is only that the accessible EVCS be on an accessible route to the entrance, not that it is on the shortest accessible route like for an accessible parking stall.

Does that 52 kW seem high for that State of Charge? V3 supercharger?
