Supercharger - Bensalem, PA

[skidme]

Hey just curious if you were the guy taking pics or a video of me while I was wiring the last 2 stations? If so send em on over lol. We have many projects going on it isn't us dragging our feet. Was neat to see the excitement from everyone at the gas station Tues and wed as the site came together.

Coffee on me as well!

I guess seeing only 6 1/2 stalls will have to do :|.

Doing our best. Some info we have some we don't but I'm not able to share much. We did Ocean City that's why it looks like the same site, many others as well. Thanks. I definitely enjoy being a part of this project.

Someone offer this man a P100D test drive, please.

Seriously, thank you for your hard work on these installs!

8 superchargers are installed but looks like they are not hooked up to power yet.

This is awesome. Thanks for all the pics. This location is going to be very heavily used I suspect. It covers so many bases - non-urban charger in the Philly area, local source for greater NE PHL, Bucks and Montco. Easy on/off for EB turnpike and the only turnpike option WB until Harrisburg. Perfect for anyone traveling to Parx for a show or casino.

Damn, now I wish it was 12+ stalls!

Agree this is perfect! I've been shouting "Bensalem needs a supercharger!" since 2014. Even though I'll probably never use it, and I live in actual Philadelphia this will be my "home" charger. It's much easier to get to from Northeast Philly than downtown and urban chargers are a pain. Funny, I've gone out of my way to visit well over a hundred superchargers across the East Coast and Canada but haven't yet charged at 10th and Market. Whoops

Right there with you! Live in NE, work on main line, have never once even debated using those CC chargers. Bensalem will also be my "home" charger, although I have really been loving the Robbinsville charger (I travel 195 a lot) on my way back.

You commute NE to Main Line?! My sincerest apologies. I only commute from Northeast to North and and it kills my soul.

If Wawa starts adding chargers to their locations that would really make my purchasing decision a lot easier! I'm mainly in the suburbs which is loaded with Wawa stores.

Wether it's a Wawa or Sheetz or Rutters with their DCFC I always make a point to go in the store and buy something.

Talked to someone working on it today. Still don’t have an exact date but he said it should very soon.

 

[RageRoad]

I was told "should be up and running by the end of the week with a bit of luck". So my guess is Sunday or Monday?

I wonder what the holdup is for other nearby sites that have been as far along as Bensalem is but have not yet had the proper inspections for turn-on. Depford comes to mind.

I would never want to call out a specific entity for the delay, but I stopped by today and there was only one missing piece I could find...a utility meter.

As I understand it, meter install is second to last step, before final inspection

well thats easy; get the slow burn 2,000a fuses at any home depot for a meter bypass
