Public charging network
Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint, and Blink are the primary networks. As of October 2026, AFDC lists about 1,010 public charging station locations and 3,207 ports statewide. 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.

|---|---|
| Tesla (incl. Destination) | 91 |
| Electrify America | 23 |
| EVgo | 10 |
| ChargePoint | 657 |
| Other networks | 226 |
| DC fast ports | 1,016 |
| Level 2 public ports | 2,167 |
