AI Overview
This station is in an underground parking garage (Aqua building, lower level 2) with paid parking: entry from Lower Columbus Drive, just north of Randolph. The entrance ramp is small and easy to miss; drive slowly. Exit within 45 minutes to avoid additional parking charges beyond the standard garage fee. No cell service in the charging area, and WiFi is unreliable at the stalls. Drivers report the exit is harder to locate than the entry and can add several minutes to your departure.

This is the worst Tesla Supercharger I've been to yet. $7 charge to exit, charging spots are hard to find due to sparse signage, there's no cell service because the spots are deep underground, which is also ironic because the only way to pay to exit is with your phone so you have to wait until you're almost at the exit to scan the QR and pay. But the pros were that all the spots were empty, and it was a low cost per kWh, which is again probably because this is the worst one in the area.

$7 fee for 45 min. (Actually it only gives you 40 min to charge since you need time to get into your spot and out). You need to download the app to pay before leaving. WiFi somewhat works by the exit but it is slow. WiFi does not work when parked at spot.

Entered at 10% charge. Paid $5 to charge for 45m in the parking garage. It's only a 72 kW max, so charging capped out around 270 mi/h. It's a bit slow to pay extra, but many charging locations are available. Easy to access, easy to find the chargers. It'd be better if this location allowed in / out privileges for full day parking.

Tesla charger Enter from lower wacker drive. Avoid going to ABM PARKING. THATS NEXT DOOR. This is in Aqua 225 N Columbus drive. 10 chargers. If you leave within 45 mins— see the time stamp on the parking ticket. It may take 5mins to the exit door. — you get charged 5 $. After that it will be 20$ minimum.

Supercharger (Urban supercharger ) is located on 2nd level of a parking garage. There is another parking lot right next to it so be careful since entering the other parking building is very much possible. Other parking garage has EV charger, you can charge TESLA also if you have adapter. Now this Tesla Supercharger parking garage is near Swissotel. Once you enter the building , pay attention to Tesla Red sign. There are plenty of stalls so you will always find spot. One hour coast $20. I didn’t find anybody who can validate it.
