Tesla faces a significant setback as it must remove 64 Superchargers from the New Jersey Turnpike, a vital corridor for electric vehicle (EV) drivers. This decision comes after local authorities opted for a different provider, Applegreen, to manage charging stations along the route. The agreement between Tesla and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) expired on 2025-06-03 06:42:00, leading to this unexpected turn of events.
- Tesla loses 64 Superchargers on Turnpike
- NJ Turnpike Authority chooses Applegreen provider
- Musk claims corruption without evidence
- Tesla prepared by building off-turnpike stations

- Agreement oversight on Tesla's part noted
Elon Musk has publicly criticized the decision, alleging corruption without presenting any evidence. Despite this, Tesla has been proactive by establishing new Supercharger stations off the turnpike over the past few years, ensuring continued access for its customers.
This situation raises questions about the future of EV infrastructure. Will Tesla’s proactive measures be enough to maintain its customer base in the face of increasing competition? As the EV market grows, the need for more charging options becomes critical.
- Local decisions can have far-reaching effects on global EV infrastructure.
- Competition among charging providers is intensifying worldwide.

- Regulatory frameworks will need to adapt to support EV growth.
Looking ahead, the global EV landscape will continue to change. Stakeholders must navigate these developments to ensure a robust charging network that meets the needs of drivers everywhere.
