Stop in Cody, WY - maybe a short charge

[smartypnz]

I looked but couldn't find any info here.
In 2 weeks will be going from Sheridan, Wy to Red Lodge, Mt. But not through Billings - towards Cody using mostly Hwy 14. ABRP says I can make it, but thinking of going as far as Cody before heading north to Red Lodge. But, would feel better if I can get a boost in Cody. Not planning overnight there, but not a long day, so would like to spend a little time (and money) in Cody. Yes, I know (according to Plugshare) there is a J1772 at the Buffalo Bill Center, but would better if there were more options.
Being so close to Yellowstone west entrance, I am sure Cody will be busy. So any help or suggestions, please.

I like to stop at RV campsites. They always have outlets and are usually happy to let you use them for $5 for a few hours.

Hey... in Moab at the moment. Not due to perform the Sheridan until the 8th. (Overnight in Gillette to Sheridan, then using US 14, then at Powell will make the decision to detour thru Cody before heading for Red Lodge. (Wanna do the Beartooth Hwy b4 Yellowstone).
Seems Cody has several chargers, mostly at RV parks - so depending how early I get started, I may get there to spend some money.
(If there had been an SpC built by now, that woulda been overnight - doubt I’ll ever be in the neighborhood again.)

Is there any way to find a listing of these RV parks? Will NEMA 14-50 work? I'm planning a road trip in September, that will include spending the night in Cody and most of the day at the Wild West Center. I know about the J1772 at the museum. I just want to make sure I have back up.

The NEMA 14-50 outlets work great as long as you have the proper adapter from Tesla.

If you frequent RV parks, getting a TT-30 adapter is also a good plan. It's a 120V standard, but it's twice as fast as a normal 15 amp outlet. And they're more common than 14-50 outlets around the country.

When you call the RV parks/campgrounds, ask for a 50 amp hookup. They won't know what NEMA 14-50 is. And yeah 30 amp is everywhere but that's pretty damn slow. You'll want to get the 50 amp unless you plan on spending days in one spot.

I second this - it's perfect for overnight charging, and opens up a TON of old campgrounds for use - especially old state parks and older private campgrounds that are common in the Northwest.

Plugshare doesn't show a Chargepoint L2 in Cody. But the Chargepoint app and web site do. Anyone used it?

Might help if you post in Mountain/Southwest. This was put in the wrong sub-forum.

Yes, but the two cords are sometimes reversed - (plugged into the wrong side from where you pay)

If heading east from Yellowstone thru Cody - there's a spectacular drive to Sheridan via US 14 thru Greybull to Dayton. At Dayton veer south on 102 (Dayton East Rd) which connects to 98 (Keystone Rd) which takes you to Sheridan. Take it easy up from Greybull but ya get most of it back coming down. That charge at Cody will get you there.
