In what sure _looks_ like petty partisanship with zero regard for the public interest, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is kicking 64 Tesla EV “superchargers” off the highway’s service
areas. Democratic hacks are very, very mad at Elon Musk for not only working hard (and giving big) to help President Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris, but for his DOGE drive to slash federal
waste (which Dems know mostly feeds their special interests). Jersey is one of several states suing to block DOGE access to Treasury records, and Musk sparred with Gov. Phil Murphy (who
basically controls the Authority) on X, cheering when Border Czar Tom Homan said he’d check out Murphy’s claim to be hiding an illegal immigrant in his home. Musk’s company clearly saw this
coming: It’s already built 116 charging stations just off the Turnpike to preserve Tesla drivers’ access to speedy turnarounds. Tesla warns the decision “removes Turnpike access to the most
reliable (99.9% uptime), least congested (<1% waiters) and cost-effective (~30% lower $/kWh) charging,” but only time will tell if the new contractor, Applegreen Electric, provides
adequate service. EXPLORE MORE Jersey being Jersey, don’t be surprised if Applegreen falls short, nor if the company turns out to have connections to Garden State Democrats.
