US EditionNJ Turnpike Parts Ways with Tesla, Applegreen to Now Operate Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
- The New Jersey Turnpike Authority decided in May 2025 to remove all 64 Tesla Supercharger stalls from its highway by June 6 and replace them with a sole third-party provider's chargers.
- This decision followed NJTA's choice not to renew Tesla’s contract and to deny Tesla the ability to co-locate chargers, despite Tesla offering above-market terms and upgrades.
- Applegreen Electric will install universal chargers compatible with all EV models at several service areas starting June 6, with more locations planned through fall 2025.
- Tesla criticized the move as a setback for New Jersey's 2035 EV adoption goal, highlighting that the removed chargers had 99.9% uptime, low wait times, and cost-effective rates.
- Tesla said it is preparing alternative charging infrastructure with 116 stalls off the Turnpike and remains open to reinvest if NJTA or the governor reverses the decision.
