Zion National Park: Blink EV charging available at Driftwood Lodge

by | Jul 13, 2023 | Rooms | 0 comments

 

For your convenience, the Driftwood Lodge has four electronic vehicle charging stations powered by Blink available on their property. Access is available for guests of the lodge as well as visitors in the town of Springdale looking to plug in. 

We are proud to share that we have offered this service to visitors in the area as a recent upgrade during the summer of 2022. 

Our charging station is located on the south side of the property directly behind our shuttle stop. 

For guests who would like to be closest to the charging area, you can request to be in one of the rooms we have in our Angels Landing building. 

We offer a Type 1 charger with an SAE J1772 adapter, which is useful for Tesla models as well as other alternative electric vehicle options on the road. 

In order to use the charging area at Driftwood Lodge, there is a $1 per hour parking fee from 10am-4pm. To use the station, it costs 70 cents per KWH during daytime use and decreases to 60 cents per KW from 9pm-6am. 

Payments can be made by following the instructions at the charging station. 

Recharging is a great benefit to have available before going through the park highway to the Zion tunnel, all the way to Bryce Canyon, or to Las Vegas and beyond. 

Typical charging speeds can range from 4-8 hours depending on your battery needs, with optimal charging hours being overnight from 9pm-6am.
