Barnegat: Wawa on West Bay Near the GSP Interchange now offers charging stations for electric vehicles. Will we see more of this as electric cars become more mainstream? Will all Wawa’s begin offering this as they remodel?

South Toms River Wawa has them too. But they aren’t available yet for charging
been there for a while now
What’s funny about this?
Jon Jones I was wondering that also
Jon Jones Probably the fact that they’ve been there for months.
Maybe the fact that there are more Tesla chargers in town than there are Teslas to charge? I don’t know. Issa guess.
Jon Jones How many electric car charging stations does Barnegat NJ need lmao
Steph VanPelt I see non-stop Tesla’s.
Jon Jones well that’s hyperbolical lol
Not just for cars in Barnegat, plenty driving past on the parkway right next to the WAWA that needs to charge
So how long do you plan on being at WAWA to get any kind of recharge in your electric cars battery?
Tim Reid only takes like 30 min for a full charge an im assuming if your battery is almost dead then u have no choice but to sit there an charge it lol
You don’t always charge to 100 like you would fill your gas tank. You only need enough to get to the next charging station, traveling electric is a different experience than ICE.
The newest model will always charge faster than the older ones as battery chemistry is always improving.
Str has them in worse wawa lot in state, 8 months of install time and not completed yet
Its been there at least 3 months!!!
Hmm i park my v8 gas guzzler gmc in them spots #fuckurelectriccar
Weird flex but ok ?
Anthony Murano only dudes with micro dicks brag about that.
Anthony Murano till it’s moved. You barnegat cops won’t ticket folks who park there?
And u all probaly drive toyota prius specially martin brown wants to talk about dicks like he dont have a lil pink donald trump in his pants
It’s not illegal to park in the Tesla spots. How many people park in fuel efficient and carpool only spot that should not?
not illegal, just an absolute dick move- which I think he gets.
Interested to know what you’d think about me parking an EV at the gas pump while I run in to get a ☕ and sub while you’re waiting in line for an open spot… not illegal just a dick move.
Anthony, what’s your beef with Toyota Prius? Ever drive one before or just like talking trash?
Ridiculous ! They probably get a shitload of tax incentives just to put them in.
Kimberly Stein-Pereira why is it ridiculous lol
Actually no.
Kimberly Stein-Pereira smarter than those thinking it’s not
Scott A Barnes and I don’t argue with stupid so they can think however they want ??♀️??♀️??♀️
That’s old news they have been there for a long time
Barnegat? Lifted pickup trucks and ATV’s don’t need an electric charge.
Paul Povinelli it’s right off the parkway on exit 67. It’s a great spot.
STR already does. And no one uses them.
Jason Forbey they haven’t finished installing them
Thomas R Rolzhausen they are up. Why haven’t they finished them ? They haven’t been working on them for at least a month then.
The future has arrived!
Dan Burt Maier good news lol
Just wondering? I don’t have an electric car but are they free to do that?? WAWA pays the electric bill for you to charge your car??
Donna Haug I think you have to have an account with Tesla to use them. You pay by either per KWh or per minute of charging.
Mark DeGeronimo . Thank you for the info!! Knowledge is power!! Lol thank you!!
Some Tesla’s (2017, early 2018) or newer Model S and X have “Free Supercharging for Life” where Tesla covers the cost
Model 3s and some mid-year (when the promotion wasn’t running) will be charged directly to their Tesla Account that has the VIN of the car assigned to it.
you don’t have to pay at the SuperCharger, it automatically goes into your account
from what I’ve heard it’s about ~$0.26 per KWH, which is about $0.10 higher than what you pay at your house, but per mile still beats the cost for gasoline, especially in the very efficient model 3s
Josh Hahn . Thank you for the info!!
Because barnegat has so many Tesla’s
Drew Chabot I once saw 4 at one time charging there.
Drew Chabot nicely said lol they should’ve done their HW on avg house prices or something
Chargers placed for convenient travel charging while going up and down the coast. The next closest chargers are in Atlantic City and (until STR is complete) Eatontown at the Outlets.
and I think the point you’re trying to make about Teslas being too expensive – the estimated 5year cost of a model 3 is less than the 5 year cost of a Nissan Altima due to “fuel” costs being very low and minimal-if-any maintenance
These are great for people traveling the Parkway, just take a little detour and charge up to continue traveling but for us Pineys it serves little purpose.
Carolyn Matrano-Jersey this is for people who are traveling. 99% of Charging takes place at home.
They have it in south Tom’s river, so funny never see a Tesla in south Tom’s river. Never see anyone using them.
Daniella Lund they aren’t finished installing them.
Thomas R Rolzhausen STR WAWA? I was wondering where they’re going to be.. Tesla website said complete by eoy 2017 lol 🙂
Josh Hahn I thought it would have been done by now. It appears they have everything done except the actual charging ports
Thomas R Rolzhausen the charger in Parsippany took about six months, they had the “box” up for a while, but they weren’t active until they appeared in the Tesla app
Too bad there’s no easy way to get back into GSP South, or to get there from GSP N :/
Was hoping they’d put them at the new ShopRite plaza on 37 == Perfect area and high visibility for security
Daniella Lund it was said four times that they’re not fully installed yet
Omg people who cares if there open. Sorry don’t want one or need one . Just thought it funny that it is in south Tom’s river.
So many Tesla’s around here ?♂️?♂️?♂️
Cain Ernest you may be surprised how many there are
Cain I thought the same thing and every time I go to that Wawa they are usually all taken lol.
Cain let me know if you want to check out an X, right in Lacey 😉
Josh Hahn I would def like to
Cain Ernest hit me up when you’re in town, if you’ve never seen one of these cars before it’s pretty amazing
Josh Hahn I definitely will
Cain Ernest trade for a fishing trip on the boat? 😀
I thought you cared about the planet? Yet here you’re going electric. Power plants arent helping your BS cause.
Scott Therrien, go smoke some “clean coal.”
Kevin Karlick go smoke some clean power
Electric is cool and all but I’m not trying to sit in a wawa parking lot for an hour to charge my car. I’ll keep my gas guzzling vehicles. ??
Sal Ferrara with fast charging you can be good to go in like 20 or 30 min. It’s good for those who are either traveling long distances or don’t have the capacity to charge at home.
like Phil said, the wait at the super charger isn’t a huge impediment to travel, usually you stop, pick up something to eat/drink/ use the restroom, pay and you’re just about on your way.
most of your charging is done at home, I commute about 200 miles every day and I don’t need to stop, I just plug my car in when I get home and unplug with a “full tank” in the morning
Sal Ferrara half hour
Actually a lot more electric vehicles in the area then you would imagine there to be. Not just Tesla. There are more then 1 manufacturer producing all electric vehicles. Most of us don’t see it because most just charge at home to commute around our area. But like stated in previous comments. People traveling from out of state/town not a bad idea. Only takes 30 mins to charge up. And not for nothing. But I’ve sat in that damn parking lot pretty damn close to 30 mins waiting to fill up before between being busy or waiting for a attendant.
But do Tesla branded chargers charge other EVs?
Steph in my experience the plugs are universal. Much like the gas pump itself lol.
Josh Collins I’ve seen the standard ones, looking like 220 volt plugs or whatever, but I’ve never seen these up close.
https://thedriven.io/2019/04/03/can-non-tesla-electric-cars-use-tesla-ev-chargers/
https://thedriven.io/2018/10/10/tesla/amp/
I took to the Google and learned a thing. Now you can, too ?
Steph both articles are referring to vehicles made in other countries. US has a standard size charging spot. They begin to mention it in that 2nd article you did post.
At Nissan here we have charging ports for our Tesla, Nissan, Honda, and Toyota customers. All use the same ports. I’m going to say they probably offer multiple options for different countries that have different options for how many amps their electric is normally ran
Steph VanPelt yeah the US has a standard size across all platforms
But that’s the slow way lol
Steph at the normal stations it only takes 30mins to 1 hour to charge using that port lil
Josh Collins I’m talking about a 120v charge, the one you’re referring to as domestically universal.
Steph VanPelt the US uses a standard plug for all their charging ports
That one fits all electric vehicles in the US. That’s the standard size.
Josh Collins I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m asking or what I’m saying lol. Never mind.
Steph VanPelt the slow way? You mean like normal 120 outlet hookup?
No at least with the Teslas and Nissans they give you a giant heavy duty cord that plugs into the wall and will then have that outlet into your charging port. Still. I cant speak for Toyota or Honda or any others
at Tesla Superchargers, currently only Tesla vehicles can charge. The connector for Tesla Charger is unique to Tesla.
Tesla does provide an adapter that allows us to use the plug pictured above but it usually charges at a slower rate (closer to what you can charge at home)
There are a few other charger types, but those are the two main ones.
so – Supercharger = Tesla Only
other ch
argers = All Electric cars (Tesla Included)
Tesla has not ruled out opening Tesla chargers to other vehicles, but currently demand is higher than supply in some areas so I think that will still be a few years off until the SuperCharger network is expanded to meet demand
Josh yeah the one Tesla owner we had on Tuesday pulled out a adapter said itd take about an hour to charge with out Nissan one.
Depends on the amperage you’re feeding the charger, usually I’ll see 240v at 30A, 50A, or 100A if you get lucky.. which is what can be installed in a home.
I don’t know if a Tesla adapter for The DC-Fast Chargers exists yet, which would get you /near/ Supercharger charge rate. 280KW @ 480v around 440 amps
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Supercharger
Do they charge up THC e-cigs because that will get use around here?
I’ll grab a used Tesla in a few years. It’s a great piece of technology.
Phil Bucc there are plenty of used ones for around $30k.
Same
Mary Demarest-Paraan too rich for me lol I’m done paying anymore than $15k for a car. Good thing about Tesla’s are there are fewer mechanical issues that need servicing.
had these for months now lol
Wawa is not offering it! Tesla is paying for the space and charging their customers for the electricity.
Danny Scarpati well it’s wawa land
Wow. Do people really think they only charge Tesla’s???? They charge all electric cars. Geniuses.
Christina Rossman Im guessing people think that because I personally have never seen another brand car there charging ?
Tesla Supercharger = Tesla only (currently) There are other chargers you’ll see at rest areas for other EVs.
Josh Hahn I stand corrected. Thank you sir.
Tesla chargers only charge Tesla. the ports are diferent
Finally!
Defeats the purpose when you need feul to run the generator if electric goes out
David Slavico it doesn’t tho since the power definitely stays on more than it goes out lmao
Becky Errickson talking about the concept in general LMAO
I got you covered David!!! 😉
(note, before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, yes it’s a joke, we were transporting the generator during the blackout in South Toms River a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be a fun photo op)
Chrissy Fiorenzo
Wow I’m surprised to even see a post on this being they’ve been up a few months now
okay first of all, ocean county residents dont come close to averaging enough to even afford a tesla. so dont get that confused with the wawas anywhere else. and second, there gas sucks. so even if i had a tesla, idk if i would trust them anyways
Danny Perotti Tesla’s aren’t overly expensive. I know a few Tesla owners around town. And MOST of ocean county travels outside of the county for work, making more than enough
Travis Drew yea well im talkin about the locals or majority of ocean county. anybody could find jobs outside the OC but clearly not enough when alot of people stay local on some blue collar or minimum wage ishh
Their gas does suck. You get what you pay for.
Earl Creveling exacltyy
Earl Creveling and there food sucks too. they use canned chicken for there buffalo mac and cheese. like are you fuckin kidding me? what a discrace. at least quickcheck using whole while meat pieces on there shit. im from NY i know what good food is factsss b. and theres some okay food in jersey but wawa should be ashamed of themselfs and all the people who think its soo fucking good.
Earl Creveling what gas does wawa use?
Scott A Barnes its a bottom 3rd party american company so it buys oil from oversees and waters it down in the most concerning way to make the most profit they can. discusting
fuckin terrible. should never EVER happen PERIOD.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/patch.com/new-jersey/lacey/amp/2040689/customers-experience-car-trouble-after-filling-up-at-d1b2f60a86
Danny Perotti are you a food critic and how could you what they use? I didn’t know where you’re from matters where good food is
brand new cars were sputtering. i had a 98 mustang and i started gettin skippin and backfires right away easily noticable from switching when i was goin to delta and bp
Scott A Barnes NY is good food. staten island and brooklyn. picture eatin a chocolate cake and its soo good you have trouble finishing it. thats how the pizza burgers pastas and all the dinners are
Danny Perotti no it don’t. Have you worked and or know anyone who has? Only employees know that. And watering it down is illegal. RIP delta gas for that.
its still bugs the fuck outta me how people just dont know whats really out there ya feel me
Scott A Barnes no watering down is WAWA. this is america and scumbags like wawa get away with easilyy
Danny Perotti this is from eight yrs ago
And anyone can be a good n gasoline critic..
Scott A Barnes happend recently up to this point dont have time to look for other articles. happend enough, and shouldnt happen at ALL. if gas is killing cars and totaling the engines thats a BIG ISSUE
smh have shame on you and god bless you kiddo. may the force be with you because youl never have a fuckin clue. god bless man because you need some decent influence even if it has to slap you in the face
Danny Perotti it can happen at Exxon, Texaco, speedway, uh wherever. No company has been safe from being accused of ducking around with the gasoline
Scott A Barnes no it cant. wawa is the culprit. and if you cant see that, godbless you mothafucka for bein stupid
Scott A Barnes sorry for being mean brother, but you seriously need to wake the fuck up and see whats really goin in here
I.. uh.. Wow there’s a lot wrong going on in this thread I’m not even going to touch..
What gas does WaWa sell you ask? They sell shit gas that will never see my tank.
Earl Creveling thats damn fucking straight brother. wether its a classic, or a nice vette or fancy ass brand new car, it never deserves something that can possibly destroy anything. even if its longterm. those people who know the truth, know the truth.
This isnt new, they have been there for months.
That’s okay my two mustangs throw enough hydrocrabons to negate probably 15 stupid priusii
John Nelson we can’t change the way you think, but we can help inform you on what is actually going on with Electric Vehicles besides what knowledge you bring to the conversation.
When gas goes up above $5 a gallon, at 15MPG(?) .. I’ll be enjoying my $0.05 per mile, autopilot, and Mustang beating 0-60 times, while you’re rethinking spending $0.33 a mile in an 80s foxbody:)
Josh Hahn lmao — good guess 1985 GT and 13 Shelby GT500. And 18 Rubicon. I didn’t buy any of them for economy and don’t really monitor gas prices. Just making the point that most electric in NJ comes from coal sourced plants, which emit just as much garbage as burning gasoline, and electric/hybrid batteries contain toxic material and rare/heavy metals. Pick your poison but electric cars don’t contribute that much financial or ecological advantage in the long run so just enjoy whatever you drive!
You really think the price of electricity will not rise with the price of gas? It always has and power plants going off line with nothing to replace them except for more increased electric bills.
John Nelson Nice cars! I have a 1964.5 myself that .. I can’t ever find time to restore! 😀
I totally get not caring about economy when the car is used for pleasure, that’s a completely different thing, but if you’re looking to use those for dailies it gets… kinda expensive 🙂
The last time I looked, (about two years ago) NJ was something like 30% Coal Powered, I don’t know or care, really, what it is now but the idea that Coal sourced plants are worse or equal to burning gasoline, aren’t exactly…. true.
I’m on mobile right now so It’s not that easy to just pull up articles, but there is a lot of mis-information aimed at electric vehicles that you’ve likely seen before.
https://cleantechnica.com/2018/03/10/electric-car-myth-buster-efficiency/
Yes, Coal is bad. But it’s still less impactful when turned into electricity to power a home or a car, than burning the equivalent amount of Gasoline would be.
from that article, an electric vehicle is at worst 59% efficient at turning grid-power into horse-power, where a conventional gas car is at best 21% efficient at turning the potential energy of Gasoline into horse-power. (the rest is essentially heat)
some questions answered here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Supercharger
Takes 5 minutes max to fill my cars gas tank. I will stick with my 33 year old car. How many of to days Tesla will be still driving around in 33 years?
Matthew William Burtis We’re not saying the time to fill up isn’t a valid point, but it doesn’t end up being as much of an issue as you think at first.
Based on current examples of high mileage cars, probably quite a few, definitely more 33yo Tesla’s than 33yo Mustangs you see today.
https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-quality-durability-on-display-in-450k-mile-car-still-going-strong/
https://electrek.co/2018/10/15/tesla-drive-after-million-miles-test/
https://electrek.co/2019/04/23/tesla-battery-million-miles-elon-musk/
In theory. if the battery is kept in perfect conditions. You do not have to ‘School” me I have been in tech my whole life. I also know battery chemistry very well. Even new Teslas lose 1/3 of the battery in winter just due the heating coils having to run to keep the battery warm” even when parked not plugged in and you think the car is off. When battery heaters fail and they have the battery will lose 3/4. Just like any other lithium ion battery. People do not do regular maintenance to normal cars. You think they will to an electric?
Matthew William Burtis no one can say how many not at this pint
Matthew William Burtis my truck is 40 years old and runs like a tank. These fools forget that their cars are running on power from POWER PLANTS
Scott fossil fuel burning power plants on top of that.
Matthew Not trying to “School” you – you asked a question and I”m trying to constructively move the conversation forward.
It’s true that it requires more energy to keep the battery at a proper operating temperature during the winter, but I think the effect of that is over-stated in your comment.
I drive daily about 200 miles round trip for work, and easily have enough juice to run my commute without having to stop and charge, this will be my third winter as I’m approaching 100k miles, will see how it turns out.
Scott , not sure what point you’re trying to make here – I don’t think my energy just comes out of the air for nothing, your vehicle is running on power from REFINERYS…. so what?
the last time I looked, about 30% of our energy was coming from Coal, and whatever – that’s OK. even at 100% Coal power, the efficiency’s are *much* better in transmission of that energy to a charger (supercharger or home-charger) than
*Drilling for the oil in the middle east
*processing that oil in the middle east *load into a tanker ship
*floating that ship overseas
*docking that ship in Elizabeth
*refining that oil into Fuel
*Transporting that fuel to a distribution center
*transporting that fuel from distribution center to a gas-station
*driving to that gas station to pick it up.
There are studies on the overall impact of Gasoline/Diesel versus Electric (Coal powered or renewable) but in the interest of not appearing to ‘school’ Matt again, please use Google to find more info.
Josh no need to get salty. My figures for lithium ion battery cold temperature performance are spot on and you know. If not Google it. You completely missed my point that keeping vehicles running is far more “green” then building new ones. A ice vehicle is 100% recyclable. The process of how lithium and the other precious metals needed for an electric vehicle are not “green” at all. Yea oil leaks sucks but they don’t kill everything forever.
Matthew hey man just giving salt when getting it 🙂
EV is recyclable as much and more so than ICE since the batteries can be used for other uses once they are no longer viable for the vehicle, and after that the precious metals aren’t lost, they can be refined back from the battery as well.. the technology to do this will always be Improving and can lead to future business models.
The process for mining lithium is far less impactful than the process for mining/drilling for oil. Lithium doesn’t ‘spill’ and kill entire ecosystems. Lithium “mining” (pumping water, evaporating, extracting lithium salts) is done in some of the most desolate and inhospitable to life places on Earth
This article gives you information on the meme-version of that argument against lithium mining, and a quick comparison to copper mining and extracting from oil sands.
https://cleantechnica.com/2016/05/12/lithium-mining-vs-oil-sands-meme-thorough-response/
Safety is another item, but I don’t think you’re going to win the argument that carrying around 13 gallons of highly combustible liquid is safe when combined with an accident.
ICE vehicles explode EV can catch fire but with well enough time to exit.
The chances of having a fire in your 33yo mustang are multiples higher than having a fire in an EV, just old Mustangs bursting into flames isn’t front page news
Josh No salt because I actually know what I’m talking about. you just do not know as much as you think. Keep post random sites with zero credibility to fit you’re viewpoint. The big difference is how they burn. ICE vehicles do not explode like they do in Hollywood. They do burn but its pretty rare. EVs burn because of thermal run away of the battery. That energy has to go somewhere and when damaged or shorted its heat. Lithium is extremely dangers did you pay attention in chemistry class? A lithium battery fire is self oxidizing burns extremely violently and much hotter then a ICE fire. Not much puts it out that is available to the fire department on the side of the road. Fuel fires you cover in class A foam and it goes out.
Matthew William Burtis first EVERYTHING burns. 2nd your 33 yo cars performance is a horse cart compared to the Tesla.
Angelo Yes a Tesla can outperform my 33 year old vehicle I would hope so. But my car has been around 33 years it gets 30 MPG 500 mile rage takes 4 minutes to go from empty to full and has zero computers onboard. So while you are waiting for your ev to recharge. I will be at my destination. You also missed my point. Read the rest of my comments.
Probably have to evict a junkie from the parking spot before you can pull in and charge..
While you are sitting there filling up and pay FED/NJ tax they get a freebee and use the same roads……
Tim Neithardt Our energy doesn’t have to travel those roads in 88,000gallon tankers either but that’s besides the point. Your [vehicle] also doesn’t cost upwards $400 to register.
Don’t worry, the state is getting it’s pound of flesh one way or another.
Josh Hahn You also forgot there is no sales tax on electric cars and there are 26,000+ registered in NJ. Gas tankers are between 8-10,000 gals……
They pay to charge up
Brian Hub They pay at WAWA???
Tim Neithardt my bad, I’m thinking 88,000 lbs
Brian, people pay to charge EV at Wawa but it’s going to Tesla not Wawa, Wawa benefits from having a captive audience while people are charging their cars and the appearance of being future friendly..
The point that Tim is making (and correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not trying to speak for you) is that because EVs are not paying the gasoline taxes that are applied inside the cost per gallon EVS arent contributing to the overall care and maintenance of the roads.
I definitely see this side of the argument, but I think that for the time being there need to be incentives to help people make the decision to move towards electric vehicles being a viable alternative in the market place. There areany forces working against EVs becoming Mainstream, currently one of the few benefits is reduced tax burden in “fuel” but It would be naive to think that benefit will be around forever.
Josh Hahn it’s not 88,000 lbs either
Ronnie, thanks. That’s what I get for trying to pull numbers from memory.
After looking it up, Tankers can weigh 80,000 lbs and 80k is the max legal GVW in NJ.

Only been doing it for a month already
Part of the New Green Deal, here’s a diesel powered car charger.
Earl Creveling that’s… Actually pretty ingenius, I’ve never seen it before!!
The generator gets to operate at a constant RPM becoming more efficient than putting the motor in a vehicle and having to run the whole rpm band
Here’s the article the picture came from :
https://thedriven.io/2018/12/14/diesel-charge-evs-remote-locations-greener-than-you-think/
He stresses that the point is not to offer a diesel-powered EV charger as the final solution, but as a reliable stop gap until installation of batteries and renewable-powered EV chargers become financially viable.
Further down, efficiency comparison
Converted to standard fuel consumption figures using the lifetime average kWh per kilometre, the BMW i3 came in as the most efficient, recording a fuel consumption rate of 4.392 litres/100km – about the same fuel efficiency as a diesel BMW 3 series.
Great idea and I’m sure it’s needed.
I’m confused these have been here for what like at least 6 months if not more
Lew Fiord just an article to drum up conversation on ocsn
Georgy Razenko
So, I had to drive past the ones in STR since I didn’t know they were going in… Definitely a ways away from being complete! ?
Brian Wennlund
Soxx Pisano Lol I’ve already charged at barnegat like 3 times, been open since May 1st. Looks like an old article rewritten
Holy ?, Josh Hahn guy is the tesla geek of the world…
Dave Meyer maybe the geek of this post, but I’m not the only owner in here.
Im just answering questions and trying to battle mis-information (which there is wayyy too much of)
Josh Hahn but nobody is asking you anything, you are just sharing articles to peoples Comments
And you’re here to… Talk ??
I’m answering questions and responding to smart ass comments or trying to fix misunderstandings
Josh Hahn no, you’re here trying to spread awareness just like the ???
Yea they been there a while now. Odly enough i always see 2 or more plugged in. Curious how many will use it now that summers over.
Great place to charge my new 751 horsepower Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
No a guy that drove a Tesla from California to nj and took him.over 2 weeks they have a on board gps saying where next charging station is but most dont work or.are closed.ended up.having it towed.twice than getting a uhaul to put it in screw that crap sold when he finally made it here total crap
Mark Altman I personally drove from NJ to San Francisco and back again with my wife, got there and back with plenty of treks/visits and places to stop in between over the course of two weeks vacation.
Not once in my three years of ordering have I had to deal with a closed station. If there is a malfunction at a unit, you can call Tesla from the car itself and they will dispatch a field tech to fix it within an hour most cases.
At a station with 8 stalls, if one is malfunctioning just move over
Hope not
