100 New Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Donated to Be Installed in and Near National Parks

The project started in April 2017 with the first electric vehicle charging stations installed at Thomas Edison National Historical Park. Today, 90 of them are to be found in and near national parks throughout the US, from the visitor center of Thomas Edison National Historical Park in New Jersey to the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel in Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park and Kalaloch Lodge in Washington’s Olympic National Park. For a complete list, check out the tally provided by the National Park Service.

This mass installation will be welcome news for those who frequent national parks, and must contend with the scarcity of EV chargers in such remote locations. These new chargers are intended to encourage drivers to bring clean vehicles to parks.
