The New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) is transitioning to Universal Open Access electric vehicle chargers by June 6, removing existing Tesla Superchargers in favor of new chargers from Applegreen Electric. This transition is part of a larger agreement to boost electric vehicle infrastructure along the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Applegreen Electric will install a total of 240 EV charging ports by April 2033, with specific service areas expected to have chargers operational soon. Tesla expressed dissatisfaction over the decision, highlighting concerns from its user base.
The universal chargers will be available as of June 6 at the Vince Lombardi, Woodrow Wilson, Richard Stockton, James Fenimore Cooper, Joyce Kilmer, and Walt Whitman Service Areas.
Tesla confirmed the news in a statement on X: 'The New Jersey Turnpike Authority has chosen a sole third-party charging provider to serve the New Jersey Turnpike and is not allowing us to co-locate.'
