Because I periodically participate in EV’ents sponsored by the Las Vegas Electric Vehicle Association, its co-founder, Stan Hanel, invited me to the ribbon-cutting for new DC Fast Chargers in Mesquite, Nevada. As you know, I can’t plug in my Tesla Model 3 at such stations (unless I bought an expensive $450 adapter), but I am nonetheless thrilled to see that public charging is expanding for all other types of electric vehicles. I registered to attend the EV’ent with the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce, and that morning set my navigation’s destination to the location at a new Eagle’s Landing Flying J station at exit 118 on the I-15 interstate. Below are photos and commentary on the ribbon-cutting.

The only differences between my map and the current one are: (1) instead of a station in Nephi, there are now two in Santaquin and Scipio; and (2) the site I suggested at the Moapa Travel Plaza in Nevada is a bit farther north in the town of Moapa. The good news is that the entire EV Corridor between California and Salt Lake City is now up-and-running, and can accommodate all electric vehicles currently on the market. Those in my area who hesitate buying an EV can no longer claim that there is insufficient public charging for road trips along I-15. Time to abandon our fossil foolishness, folks!
