Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Grand Canyon National Park
This article originally appeared on My Grand Canyon
The classic all-American road trip isn't complete without a stop at the Grand Canyon. Electric vehicle (EV) owners don't have to miss out on one of the natural wonders of the world. There are charging stations on the North Rim, South Rim and in the gateway town of Tusayan to keep you charged and ready to explore.
Grand Canyon Village
Location: Maswik Lodge, Grand Canyon Auto Services, Yavapai Lodge
Charger Types: J-1772 and Tesla
What to do while you wait: Hop on one of the park's free shuttles to explore all the best of the South Rim (48 Hour Itinerary LINK). The three-mile, round-trip hike down Bright Angel Trail to 1.5-Mile Resthouse will give you a taste of the inner canyon or opt to stay on the rim by renting a bike from Bright Angel Bicycles and riding Hermit Road. Check out our 48-hour itinerary for more ideas.
NEMA 14-50 outlets are also available at El Tovar Hotel and Trailer Village RV Park

What to do while you wait: Head to the Grand Canyon Visitor Center and IMAX where you can watch the film Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets to learn about 4,000 years of Grand Canyon's history.
