Overview
If you’re driving an EV, ChargePoint - HI Jasper is a practical in-town stop to top up while you explore. The station sits in the parking lot of HI Jasper (708 Sleepy Hollow Rd) and is open to the public, not just hostel guests.
What to Expect
- Two Level 2 J1772 connectors in the hostel lot, available 24/7.
- Activate and pay via the ChargePoint app or RFID card. Major cards are typically supported—check the app for specifics and current rates.
- It’s a straightforward, no-frills stop: plug in, then wander into town.
How to Use It Well
Level 2 charging means you’ll be here a while—plan on pairing your session with a meal, a grocery run, or a stroll through Jasper’s core. If both spots are taken, use the network app to check status and queue up.
Backups Nearby
Jasper has a mix of other networks around town (including Flo locations and a Tesla Supercharger). Keep one or two of those pinned as a fallback in busy seasons.
Wildlife Note
Elk and other wildlife occasionally pass through town. Give them space and avoid leaving food out in or around your vehicle.
Best Time to Visit
Anytime works—the site is 24/7. Check real-time availability in the app before you roll in, and time your charge around meals or errands for an easy win.
