JFK Airport charging in parking garages

[Chris Ahlers]

I'm interested in the availability of the EV charging spots in garages at JFK airport. Specifically,
1. I'm aware of the Level 1 and 2 Chargepoint spots in Terminal 5 parking garage, yellow lower level. How busy are these spots? I hope to park in one on an upcoming Sunday afternoon for about a week - do I have a reasonable chance of getting a spot, and is it an issue to park there for a week? I have a ChargePoint card.
2. Are there any other garage parking spots near at/near JFK airport that allow charging at any level?

I'm also aware of the JFK supercharger but would ideally like to be plugged in while parked.

Thanks for your insights - Chris

Just my opinion, but I don't think it is good form to occupy an EV charging spot for a week anywhere.  You are preventing a lot of other people from using it who might need it.

On plug share it seems like there are 110 V wall plugs as well, plug in to these for a week is fine rather than plugged into a level 2 for a week which someone may need. But there is no pictures shown where the 110 are.

[Jared Banyard]

Yeah I would say find a 110v.  They can charge a P90D from 0 in a week and keep it warm.

[Chris Ahlers]

Yes I would plug into 110V for sure. 

Has anyone been to these chargers who could report how busy they are?  I'm trying to get an idea whether I will get a spot or not.

doesn't chargepoint charge you per hour you are plugged in, regardless of whether or not you are actually charging? (aka don't they keep charging you even after you finish charging until you physically disconnect?)

According to PlugShare there are dozens of unmetered 110/120 plugs in the P4 garage: http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/13447

Typically at least 2-3 chargers are open anytime I park there. ChargePoint backed off on charging $ for plugged in after being fully charged for now.

[Jared Banyard]

No point / bad form plugging in for days on a Chargepoint when you can plug into the 110/120v plugs for a week for free.

Not to mention there are apparently 18 110v sockets per floor.

[Chris Ahlers]

I agree it's bad form to stay plugged into level 2 chargers for a week. Have you seen the 110V outlets in the garage? Is this the same garage that has the level 2s?

[Jared Banyard]

Gah I was linking/referencing EWR not JFK .. doh

Yeah I didn't see any 110Vs there but it looks like from the chargepoint app that all Level 2s are rarely in use at the same time.

Thanks, good to know there isn't any 110 sockets in the garage.

Another option is to just supercharge after you get back from your trip. There is a small food court connected to the gas station where the supercharger is located. Can drop in grab something for 15 mins and top off before going home.
