Until now, Summit County has made do with “destination chargers,” low-powered outlets Tesla neither owns nor operates.
Tesla’s first Wasatch Back supercharger is in Quarry Village’s parking lot, in front of Park City Bread & Bagel in Pinebrook.
“They’re still waiting for the electricity from Rocky Mountain [Power], but everything's ready to go,” property owner David Nadler said. “We probably should be open in a week or two.”
He said there are 20 chargers, two of them in accessible parking spots.
They’re V4 chargers, Tesla’s highest-powered option. According to JD Power, superchargers take a vehicle from 10% to 80% power in under half an hour.
Tesla secured a building permit from Summit County last November, months after Tesla drivers voted for Park City as one of the locations they’d like to see a supercharger in.
“Ever since [the county] put the roundabouts in [Jeremy Ranch and Pinebrook], it's become a very good spot to get off the highway,” Nadler said. “Tesla likes to be right off highways.”
Tesla’s map of chargers indicates Wasatch County has none; however, a Red Ledges member reports the gated community offers charging to residents only. The only Tesla-compatible chargers in eastern Summit County are within the Promontory gated community.
