    I'm not sure what charger(s) you have in your car (80, 72, 48, or 40) but the Silver Mountain Sports club location in Kimball is three independent 80amp chargers. That one is public since the lot is a separate owner than the Sports club, and that "public" stipulation was part of getting permission to put them in. Disregard the plugshare post about being for members only (gym owner wanted to cut down on freeloaders) but you can just plug in and use them, no questions asked. Although it would be nice if you bought a smoothie or something as the gym still has to pay for power. The monthly bill, thanks to demand charges, is surprisingly large. As mentioned above, there's also a pair of free CHAdeMO across the road at the transit center. If you want to borrow my CHAdeMO (if you don't have one) while you are here you are welcome to it. Shoot me a DM if you need it. I don't need it until I leave to go back east in late Oct.

    This time of year (shoulder season) you would have the best luck asking at the hotels if you can charge. Most are fine with it even if the plugshare says "members only" (see above). Just be sure to tip the valet! Those kids work for pennies.


    /edit. And as for the actual supercharger in Park City. Last year PC Muni changed it's permit search web portal, so now you can't look them up unless you have one active. So basically you can only look up your own project. I sent an email asking about superchargers in early Aug and the planning commission person said they haven't had any requests. I check the Town Council meeting notes every so often but haven't seen a mention there either, but honestly I only look at those once every few months. Summit County proper does have a permit list, but it's not updated too often. (It is really cool to see so much solar being installed in the county via that building permit webpage. 60 systems installed from Jan 1 - Sep 1st.)

    I randomly bumped into the mayor today and asked him if there had been movement on the Supercharger front. He drives a Tesla so he's interested also. He said there were some offhand talks last year, but nothing formal, and things have gone silent since then. No permit applications, nothing. Bummer.

    /edit. Just to add, I suggested that sudo-temporary but apparently permanent park and ride lot behind the transit center in Kimball but he said that's the County's domain, not PC proper. It was only supposed to be a temporary lot (it's not even paved) while they built the big one on Kilby road.

    Has anyone had experience up in Empire Pass being able to charge in one of the building like Flagstaff or Arrowleaf? Wondering if new Talisker building might install something too for the community.

    update: Flagstaff building up near silver strike installed a charger in the garage. Expect to see that in more condo buildings up there.
