power outage - MojaveGeek - 2023-12-27 Apparently there was a 3 day power outage in the Valley, including FC and SPW. I read somewhere that a number of EVs had to be towed out of the park. I imagine with no power you can't get gas either. I've been at SPW when there was a multi-hour outage in the evening and it is pretty sad for hungry folks who want to eat. https://sierrawave.net/death-valley-national-park-press-release-electricity-back-on-after-65-hour-park-wide-outage/ RE: power outage - Sparky of SoCal - 2023-12-28 If gas pumps were not working because of power loss some vehicles dependent on fuel were probably sitting there also or waiting for someone to bring them fuel.

Yes, though it's easier to bring in a couple gallons of fuel than a couple of kWh or electricity ![]() RE: power outage - MojaveGeek - 2023-12-28 So that Sierra Wave article says that FC was able to pump gas with a generator, but eventually ran out of fuel. Worth noting for future reference. At least at SPW, power outages are not uncommon on windy days. RE: power outage - GowerGulch42 - 2023-12-30 You can charge EVs at any 220v RV hookup. It's not fast, usually 2-6 hours depending on your vehicle, but definitely makes the trip doable from anywhere. |
