Gottlieb of Schuckman brings Tesla charging station to Long Island

Islandia, NY Schuckman Realty coordinated with Tesla Inc., the village and the owners of the Islandia Shopping Center to bring a Tesla Auto Supercharging station to Long Island. The charging station, which will be in the Islandia Shopping Center, was scheduled to be operational by the end of June.

Edward Gottlieb of Schuckman Realty facilitated placement of ten Tesla Auto Charging stations at 1750 Veterans Hwy. The site is within a half-mile of Exit 57 of the Long Island Expressway (Rte. 495). In addition to the Tesla Charging Station, the Islandia Shopping Center features national tenants such as Walmart, Stop & Shop, Dave & Busters, TJ-Maxx and Blink Fitness. Schuckman Realty has represented the Islandia Shopping Center for several years and brought in many tenants; the Tesla Charging Station will be a valuable addition to this regional/community consumer center as well as Long Islands vacation destinations such as the Hamptons which will now be reachable by electric vehicle.

According to Tesla, supercharging can take “about 30 minutes”, therefore locating a charging station within the shopping center close to dining, shopping and amenities allows Tesla owners to charge their vehicle while they shop or “grab a cup of coffee or a quick bite to eat.” The charging station also lets Tesla owners traveling on the Long Island Expressway, which has 160,504 vehicles per day in that area, to charge their vehicles near the busiest road on Long Island without having to drive far out of their way to find a charging station.
