AI Overview
The chargers are located in a covered, illuminated parking garage (ground floor, southeast corner) with free parking. Wait times are frequently long due to high demand at this busy mall location and only 3 fast chargers available; early morning or late evening visits typically have shorter waits. Drivers report that actual charging speeds vary significantly by season and battery condition, often slower than the advertised rating. The garage also has Tesla Superchargers nearby on the same floor.

3 "Fast Chargers" rated at 350KwH, but even on a conditioned battery on a car that pulls 350, these chargers cap out between 150-175 in the winter, and about 230 in the other 3 seasons. As such, cars are charging longer, and with only 3 chargers at the biggest mall in the northeast, wait times are long. With it being a touristy spot, a few snobby people in rentals will try to cut in line and charge it to 100%, for which the chargers dramatically slow after 80% down to 60KwH, 30, and even 20. There's plenty of space to double or even quadruple the number of chargers, and they would still all be used.

The best time to go here is early morning or late at night. The amount of people driving electric vehicles in this area and the dearth of chargers make for a very long wait time most of the day. Chargers themselves were recently upgraded to two 350kw with one still being a 150kw and a 50 kw for some reason. It took them three weeks to upgrade two stations and out of the two years or so that I've been using these I've never once gotten 150kw. It doesn't matter the weather, they will dispute and offer excuses all day but the advertised speeds really don't exist. It's the best I've found in this area for non-Tesla users but it's not great (neither is Electrify America).

[UPDATE] This location is very busy and will be undergoing upgrades starting mid February 2025. We needed to charge and waited for a charger about a half an hour because two people were charging up to 90+% and one guy was done for more than a half an hour but he just left it plugged in. While waiting with two other people in line, a lady pretended like she didn't see us and tried to hook up to the other cable of a charger that was in use. It didn't work but it was still pretty rude when it was very clear that there were three cars waiting to charge. Since we waited so long, our battery was conditioned and we got a nice quick charge: 16 minutes to 80%, 174kW max on the 150kW charger. There are three 150kW DC and one 7kW AC chargers here.

The supposedly level three chargers are only charging at 14 kW. They're rated at 150 kW. Do not try to charge here. Why do they bother to put in a slow-speed chargers in public locations such as in a shopping mall? There are only three high-speed chargers for a mall that has thousands of cars. There are dozens of Tesla chargers in the same garage. Crazy! That's What happens when oil companies buy public EV charging companies.

I'm not saying this charging station is bad, but it's ridiculous that Electrify America is not investing in more chargers here. There were tons of Tesla chargers on the same floor and the floor above, at least 20-30 in total but there are only 3 fast chargers here?? How does that make any sense and one of them was out of service. There were three cars in the queue already so the wait time would've been at least an hour given the two occupied chargers still had a long way to go. Ridiculous.
