I reported on Rocky Mountain Power and Electrify America’s progress on a charging station in Moab, Utah
Until not very long ago, it was a tough place to visit, though. There was an older Supercharger and one CCS/CHAdeMO stall in the area, and a flood in late 2022 took out the lone CCS/CHAdeMO station. Eventually, Tesla opened a second Supercharger station to CCS vehicles with Magic Dock, which helped greatly, but that still left a popular city with only 8 plugs for CCS vehicles and 12 for Teslas.

Our statewide network will make fast charging accessible to all vehicles while increasing EV adoption across the state,” said James Campbell, sustainability and innovation policy director at Rocky Mountain Power.
“This milestone marks years of collaboration between the public and private sectors and serves as a shining example of all we can accomplish working together with outstanding partners like Rocky Mountain Power,” said Lyle McMillan, director of strategic technologies at the Utah Department of Transportation. “Utah is among the first states to open a NEVI EV charging site, giving drivers the freedom to travel anywhere – in any vehicle – they choose.
