  Charger itself is fine, nearby there is a Starbucks and looks like the area is being developed. Unfortunately it looks like someone stole the adapter for Teslas, so make sure you carry your own adapter. The charging speed was ok, but not as fast as advertised. A huge issue I have is where this is located. You can pull into the lot from a local road, but the road is a one way (recently updated so google maps doesnt show it) so you will actually be forced to pull into the highway which is a toll road. Not an issue if you’re coming from the highway, but I pulled into from a local road and was forced to pull into the highway and pay an additional toll.

  Stopped here on my way home from Connecticut to the Philadelphia area. Needed a short 15 percent charge. I had no issues with the charger itself. It worked perfectly. I used the Applegreen app to begin and end the charge. No issues with that either. The chargers are located close to the rest area building which is a nice rest stop. A car was pulling out as soon as I pulled up so I got lucky and did not have to wait. I’m glad there are fast chargers at this rest stop, but there are definitely not enough of them. I can imagine a long wait on a busy weekend or during the colder months. I also wish there was a canopy. I can’t say for certain but I think Applegreen is adding more chargers at this location? I hope they do.

  We often stop here on our 225 mile drive to Atlantic City to use the restroom. While here we plug in to give us a little extra charge. There are only two chargers which doesn’t seem to be enough for such a busy service area. Three trips ago when we were there on a Wednesday at 10:00 and there weren't any other cars charging. Two trips ago there was one car charging and he told us that the other charger wasn’t working. I checked it out and it just said “Please Wait.” I called the number on the charger and after waiting a few minutes on hold I decided to start driving. When they answered I told them the issue and they said they would reset the charger. I wish I waited to see if that fixed the charger. Luckily we didn’t need the charge. If they had four chargers it wouldn’t be as much of an issue. On our most recent trip the charger worked great. Two trips ago we charged 9.37kW for $5.90 including tax so $0.59kW. This was too expensive. This time the price was $0.40kW which is fine and even lower at $0.35 if you use the Applegreen app. Thank you Applegreen. This is a NJ price. We also stopped at an Applegreen on the NY Thruway and the price was $0.64kW…wow. I’m also disappointed at how slow Applegreen has been to add EV chargers to all the rest areas on the Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike and the NY State Thruway, all of which we have used. Applegreen seems to be taking over all the service areas where we drive the most. As they build these new service areas EV chargers should be there when the service area opens. Eight chargers should be the minimum. A bonus would be if they have canopies like the gas stations. On the other hand I like the chargers they use and that they have chargers at some of the new rest areas. Tesla chargers are being removed from many Applegreen run rest areas in NJ. While I don’t use Tesla chargers it means that more Teslas will be using the Applegreen owned chargers. If Applegreen matched or exceeded the number of Tesla chargers this wouldn’t be an issue as the Applegreen chargers support both CCS and NACS plugs. Having only two plugs at Connie Chung and only four plugs at Larry Doby will be an issue. I hope everyone helps push Applegreen into installing more chargers. For Tesla owners, Tesla is adding more chargers off exits but on highway charging is more convenient. I gave a 3 Star review because of the limited number of chargers here and Applegreens business decision to limit the number of chargers at most of their rest areas. I hope this will change. We are lucky as we do most of our travel on off days/hours and never on busy holidays. On the northbound side of the GSP is the Larry Doby Rest Area that has four charges which I gave a 4 Star review.
