Well, near me, Saskatchewan River Crossing comes to mind. It's the only spot with services in the middle of the 233 km route (which is pretty hilly, so bad on fuel economy) between Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta. There's a resort with electricity, but it's diesel-generator powered, so not especially effective/cheap for EV charging. The route sees 1.2 million visitors per year.
- buffington 4y agoThough I was only talking about existing gas stations adding solar/wind powered charging, I think generating power on site can help encourage charging stations in places where gas stations don't yet exist at all. If you have land, wind, and sun, you could also have charging stations. I'm obviously over simplifying things, but compared to building an actual gas station in the same remote location, I think it'd cost a lot less.
