The first electric charging columns installed in the Grand Canyon

Those who fear being without electricity can begin to sleep peacefully. Many are afraid of not having charging stations nearby to power their vehicle, and therefore of being alone in inaccessible or poorly connected places.

While in Italy the electric market is experiencing an excellent moment, certified by the ever-increasing installations of electric charging stations in the area, in America they are taking the next step, that of installing them not only on city roads, provincial and otherwise, but also in remotes and imaginable places.

And now, after 3G can get you on Everest, charging stations are now arriving in the Grand Canyon.

An experience possible thanks to Electrify America. This American energy giant has decided to bring electric mobility to the most iconic tourist areas of the famous Arizona gorge, opening up new perspectives for eco-conscious travellers. Charging stations are now operational at two key sites within the National Park: Maswik Lodge-Market Lodge and Yavapai Lodge East.

This means electric travelers can explore the beauty of the Grand Canyon while charging their cars in these picturesque settings. Charging stations can also be found at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, at the south entrance of the park. Here, travelers can benefit from 6 charging points, with powers ranging between 150 kW and 350 kW. This allows tourists to make a quick stop, perhaps to buy souvenirs and capture the memorable moments of their eco-sustainable trip.

The same charging points (with a power between 150 kW and 350 kW) are now accessible along the new charging "corridor" created by Electrify America, connecting the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas. This infrastructure allows electric drivers to supply energy during the journey, keeping themselves connected through the company's app. Stops along the route include Kingman (1x 150kW charging point), Williams (2x 150kW and 2x 350kW points), and Flagstaff (2x 150kW and 1x 350kW points).

These developments mark a significant step towards a more sustainable mobility in areas of great tourist interest, ensuring that the natural wonder of the Grand Canyon can be enjoyed without leaving a negative ecological footprint, and who knows, it could also be a turning point in the market of "full-electric" tourism also in Europe.
