Utilities serving Utah
Your EV rate, rebates, and make-ready programs depend on who serves your address.
Utility coverage for Utah is being expanded. Major utility pages will appear here as they ship.
Public charging network
Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint, and Blink are the primary networks. The Wasatch Front (Salt Lake City to Provo) has solid charger density. I-15 is well-served. I-70 (the scenic canyon corridor) and US-89 have thinner coverage. Utah's geography, with long stretches between population centers, makes highway corridor coverage especially important.
| Network | Stations |
|---|---|
| Tesla (incl. Destination) | 108 |
| Electrify America | 23 |
| EVgo | 10 |
| ChargePoint | 658 |
| Other networks | 225 |
| DC fast ports | 989 |
| Level 2 public ports | 2,219 |

Regulatory environment
Utah has not adopted California's Advanced Clean Cars II standards. The state provides clean vehicle license plates and has historically offered HOV lane access for EVs (this perk expired September 2025). Rocky Mountain Power's EV programs are regulated by the Utah Public Service Commission. UDOT is administering NEVI corridor funds.
