After reaching a third-party deal, the state has asked Elon Musk's EV company to remove 64 existing chargers from the busy thoroughfare.

The agency that runs the highway said it was switching to another company to provide chargers that work for electrical vehicles other than just Teslas.

Tesla called the decision to eliminate the charging stations a setback for EV users on the highway, adding that it offered the NJTA above-market commercial terms, including an offer to build Superchargers at all New Jersey service plazas and with equipment upgrades like screens and NACS with CCS1 “magic docks.”
