Many thanks for the update. I did a reset on Plugshare and it popped up.
The Shell charge station has been "under repair" for years. I don't think they are too serious.
This was from four years ago when it didn't work.
Ely now has a Tesla SC but where is the station in Wells? Elko, West Wendover, and Twin Falls were the reliable destinations that I have encountered. If there is a new one, I would love to note it.
I did this in a Jeep Overland. You need a high ground clearance pickup, SUV or rental car. A "rock climbing" Jeep is not necessary for this trail. There are some local maps for back road difficulty.
Shafer Trail is a "must do"!
Number one reference is "Photographing the Southwest" by Laurent Martrés. Some regions and editions are out of print but they are worth the eBay price for guidance.
Check Plugshare for lodges in the area that have overnight L2 chargers. The one in Boulder is next to Hells Backbone Grill. NYT called it one of ten best restaurants in the country.
in the country!
Really nice write up and images!
The drive to White Pocket is MUCH easier than a hike to the Wave. I've done both and White Pocket is "more better".

An L2 at a hotel is "free gas" for an EV - even if...
I also have a 2022 Kia EV6 GT-L FE. It has HUD, trip gauge on the driver screen, a sunroof that opens, media player, AM/FM radio, CarPlay, drive mode changes from the steering wheel - but no rear wiper! Drives me crazy when there is crap on the rear window.
The cameras and location may be disabled during "service". I always install an auxiliary Thinkware camera in my vehicles. It helped me get a full buyback on my Ford Mach E after a botched warranty repair.
You are correct. I meant Traver, CA and Bravo farms. Great place for kids. Petting zoo and five story tree house. Telsa SC right next door.

Thanks for the other alternatives!
Congratulations on the treks. Even though I have the max battery, I stop midway at a Tesla SC in Madera, Selma, or Trevor. I'm taking 99 nowadays - it's six lane most of the way. I5 has turned into a "cluster truck".
