Why The Heck … Is There An EV Charger In The Middle Of Nowhere In Wyoming?
Electric vehicle charging stations are becoming more common in Wyoming. Still, there are a lot of remote places in the Cowboy State’s wide open spaces where they would seem out of place and subject to mockery.
One of those places is the Red Canyon Ranch, a rugged and remote 5,000-acre property south of Lander managed by The Nature Conservancy. Yet, two EV charging stations are prominently placed at the Red Canyon Learning Center on Red Canyon Road.
The charging stations are functional and available to anyone driving one of many EV models on the market. However, they’re more than just a couple of random EV chargers in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. The Red Canyon stations are part of a unique experiment that tests the limits of EVs in the harsh conditions of the Cowboy State.
EV trucks have been working on Nature Conservancy properties outside Lander and Ten Sleep for more than two years. So far, the directors of both sites said they’ve performed incredibly well.
