Recharge on the Mountain

Electric vehicle drivers, you can now charge your car on the mountain!
We encourage electric vehicles and other environmental methods of transportation as we continue our efforts to lower our carbon footprint.

As you drive up the Crystal Mountain Boulevard, you will find universal EV charging stations located on the left-hand side just past upper C lot. Each charging station is a level 2 Flo CoRe+ and has the capacity for two vehicles to be plugged in at one time, with a charging range of 1.2kW to 7.2kW.
