Where to Charge Your Electric Vehicle in Lower Yakima Valley
The Lower Yakima Valley is full of historical landmarks like the Teapot Dome in Zillah, a tribal casino hotel & spa in Toppenish, delicious hidden gems to grab a bite to eat like Papanana's in Wapato. Thankfully, more electric vehicle charging stations are beginning to appear up and down the Valley, from Wapato down to Grandview.
I think it's great to see more places popping up where EV drivers can get their cars charged up to get back on the road. Someday, once I get my crappy old car paid off, I hope to drive a Rivian ~ my D R E A M car ~ or maybe a Hyundai Sante Fe plug-in hybrid.
