Range & Charging Question for Montana EV owners

[richl025]

Hi everyone, I'm moving to Bozeman in a month or so.

One of the things I love to do is to explore the wild places, but MAN, Montana looks like an absolute DESERT for DCFCs anywhere north of the I90/94 corridor.

Do y'all just not travel at all to the North Central / Eastern part of the state? If I plan a multi-day trip & stay over at an RV park, has anyone had luck getting access to 220V 50 amp RV outlets to charge at? Any rumors about more charging infrastructure in the near future?

I'm moving from Central Oregon, which has some scarce spots, but still enough scattered DCFCs to where I can pretty much get anywhere if I'm thoughtful about it. Testing out some specific destinations in Northern MT though, ABRP just gives up and says "ain't gonna happen..."

I've camped with my two Ford EVs at many state parks (although not yet in Montana) which always seem to have very reasonably priced RV pads with useable 220V receptacles.

There are also other Federal land campgrounds, like Army Corps of Engineers, National Forest and BLM, which often have some electric service, although that may vary between 120V and 240V.
