WTF Utah?

[Kieran]

One single waypoint (slow) charger in the whole state of Utah? With all that amazing outdoorsy stuff to do in the state, from skiing to canyoneering, to MTB'ing Moab... like more national parks per capita than anywhere in the world.... UTAH?
Who's fault would this be, Rivian's, or Utah (government's)?
Anyway, just a mini rant. I was amazed to see almost nothing in the RAN map in that state. CO next door has several.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but this is just more proof that Colorado is better than Utah. ?‍

I blame the power companies.

I really wish Rivian would put a RAN charger in Zion like was said a long time ago. They also need one in Moab/Arches/Canyonlands, Bryce, and Kanab area.

Utah in general has next to no charging. Nobody drive's EVs there. I just road tripped through there on the way to Idaho/Montana and back and for what it's worth I think I saw about a dozen Teslas in all three of those states, and only a single Rivian.

RAN is nothing outside of Mitten State

I selfishly would like that to improve substantially by next spring. I'm actually considering deferring our major trip to UT until 2025 in the hopes of better infrastructure by then...

Someone on the forum is trying to get one in Escalante, which I deeply hope they pull off.

Supercharger in Moab is enough for me for now. Something in the Aquarius Plateau would be good, and then something near St. George and another down near Page AZ.

I'll throw in a vote for Hanksville as well. Camping and wheeling the "backside" of Canyonlands is a beautiful thing.

Oh yeah - forgot about that one. Hanksville would be clutch when you’re heading down to White Canyon / etc. Hite Marina would be awesome, too, if there’s ever water there again.

I recently went on a trip to escalate/ Boulder Utah and stayed at the Boulder mountain lodge and they had 4 level 2 chargers on sight for hotel guests, while it’s not perfect, it was more then enough for me when I went there for the weekend.

well we live here in Utah and see a ton of EVs (we have a Rivian and Tesla) but the charging is pathetic. Unfortunately the state plan is basically putting chargers on the interstates so some of the parks are going to be a challenge - canyonlands, grand staircase, glen canyon, etc. I was counting on Rivian stepping up to make “adventuring” real but so far no luck.

 

[Kieran]

I just also realized that WY is just as bad. Actually kinda worse, because the only RAN is in Cheyenne; diametrically opposite from Yellowstone/Tetons/Jackson region.

As Jabbahop said there's tons of EV's here, but I feel like most people just home charge and do minimal travel, Tesla has a few superchargers, but overall DCFC is abysmal in the state.
