Dear @GovMurphy, My family and I have been proud residents of New Jersey for 30 years. Thanks to your leadership and the state’s initiatives to promote electric vehicles (EVs), we were able to purchase three @Tesla vehicles for our family. We often travel on the New Jersey Turnpike, relying on Tesla’s Superchargers for their fast, reliable, and accessible charging infrastructure—widely recognized as the best in the country for both Tesla and non-Tesla EVs, with an uptime of 99.9% and minimal wait times. We are deeply disappointed by the recent decision from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) to not renew Tesla’s contracts, resulting in the closure of 64 existing Supercharger stalls, and to deny Tesla the opportunity to co-locate their chargers alongside the chosen third-party provider (as outlined in Tesla Charging’s post: xitter.cf/teslacharging/status/1…). This decision to replace Tesla’s infrastructure with a third-party provider will likely frustrate EV drivers and cause problems, given Tesla’s unmatched reliability, lower costs (approximately 30% less per kWh), and superior user experience compared to other providers. While we appreciated the tax incentives that helped us purchase our EVs, we’ve been disheartened by subsequent policies that seem to penalize EV owners. The registration fees for electric vehicles have increased significantly—from $76 to $290 per year—adding financial strain. Now, this decision to remove Tesla Superchargers from the Turnpike and replace them with what is likely to be subpar third-party infrastructure feels like another step backward. It undermines the convenience and reliability we depend on and contradicts New Jersey’s goal of achieving 100% zero-emission new car sales by 2035. I respectfully request that you intervene to reverse the NJTA’s decision, allowing Tesla to co-locate their Superchargers along the Turnpike corridor and ensuring that no existing chargers are decommissioned. Tesla has already demonstrated its commitment to supporting all EV drivers by offering to include both NACS and CCS1 connectors at these locations, ensuring compatibility for all vehicles without the need for adapters. Their proposal to co-locate, rather than exclude, aligns with the need for more—not less—charging infrastructure to support EV adoption. Thank you for your attention to this matter. My family and I hope to see New Jersey continue to lead in EV adoption by supporting the best and most reliable charging infrastructure available. Sincerely The Stepanchenko Family 30-Year Residents of New Jersey and Tesla Owners
