You can. However the Stargazer was fully booked when we visited. From memory it is a B&B with about 10 rooms and is quite pricey. 90,000 people visit Great Basin National park per year so 1 charger isn't going to cut it.

I wasn't thinking about visitiors though. I was thinking about people that live in places like Baker and routinely drive 100 + miles to get to "town"

Let me be clearer. I was talking people in the industry that would actually have to do the work to make this a reality. VW is the most aggressive manufacturer at adopting EVs and they are planning EVs to make up 10% of their global sales in 2025.

It takes 3 years to design a car and tool up for production and then that car is generally sold for 6-8 years before being replaced.
