Where the electrons come from
-
Tesla Supercharger
Bryce Canyon City Supercharger
Newer 8-stall Supercharger (up to 325 kW) at Bryce Canyon City, the fast-charge anchor at the end of the Scenic Byway 12 run. Charge here on arrival; it makes the Torrey to Bryce charging desert survivable. If it is down, the Cannonville KOA L2 is the backup, overnight to 100%.
-
L2 NEMA 14-50
Cannonville KOA (L2 backup)
L2 backup at the campground if the Bryce Canyon City Supercharger is full or offline. Day-trips into Bryce burn ~30 mi.
