Smith's opens fuel station in Salt Lake City with electric car charger

Some Utah drivers may get a charge out of Salt Lake's latest filling station. Smith’s Food and Drug Stores opened its newest fuel station in Utah, located in the parking lot of the Smith’s store at 876 S. 800 East in Salt Lake City.

The fuel center — which began operation on Wednesday — is the first to incorporate a free, courtesy charging station for customers driving electric cars to "top off" their battery levels while they shop. Smith’s also installed equipment to allow for the future use of solar panels to power the fuel station as well as equipment required for the sale of natural gas. Deseret News
