At the newer Marverik stations you can buy "Real Gas", alcohol free for your generator etc., and firewood for when you get to your campsite. Now they are also adding electric charging stations in areas. The electric charging stations will require folks to pay, and while there were grants provided to put the charging stations in place my understanding is that they won't be subsidized beyond that so it will be interesting to see how the costs work out.
As for the practicality of using electric vehicles in Utah at this time, like large portions of the US, they are probably only practical right now as commuter vehicles in our major metropolitan areas. We still don't even have cell phone coverage in over a third of the land area, let alone practical means of charging an electric vehicle. I routinely wander off into areas where it's over 50 miles of dirt road to the nearest pavement. Unfortunately, the remote areas are going away fast though.
Good morning. If you go to plugshare.com Utah doesn't look to bad as far as coverage goes. Its got a ways to go but most of the corridors seem to have reasonable coverage.
Here is a link. Easy to check out your area for coverage.
