Rocky Mountain Power installs first of 80 'hyper-fast' Utah EV charging stations

Electrify America, a Virginia-based company that owns a chain of EV charging stations across the U.S., and Utah electric utility Rocky Mountain Power have rolled out the first of 20 DC fast electric vehicle charging stations in Utah.

Electrify Commercial, a business unit of Electrify America, and Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp, are deploying more than 80 chargers at 15 fast-charging stations in the Salt Lake City area and five fast-charging stations in surrounding regions.

So far, four charging stations have come online in Millcreek, Vernal, Moab and Kimball Junction. Rocky Mountain Power will own the new charging stations. Each will have “hyper-fast” chargers capable of speeds up to 350 kilowatts, Rocky Mountain Power said. The utility will set the pricing and Rocky Mountain Power utility customers will get a discounted rate.

The new charging stations will be on Electrify America’s coast-to-coast “locate a charger” map, which includes more than 950 stations and over 4,250 chargers in the US. and Canada. Drivers will be able to access and pay for charging on Rocky Mountain Power’s chargers through the Electrify America mobile app.
