• Mountain Coaster: Zip down 5,455 feet of track, soar up to 30 feet high, and hit speeds up to 25 mph. 
• Tube Park: In winter or summer, glide down groomed lanes (2 × 512 ft long) and ride a conveyor back up for another run.
• Zip Line, Ropes Course, Climbing Wall & more: Great for all ages — whether it’s your first time or you’re chasing adrenaline.
• Snow Play Area (in winter): Think snowmen, surf sleds, and fun for the little ones.
• Summer Bike Rentals & trails: For the warm-weather adventurer, jump onto the trail system with rentals and easy access to the Mammoth Bike Park.

EV Charging in Mammoth Lakes
The area around Mammoth Lakes provides a mix of public and private EV charging options—especially useful for guests staying at your townhome.
Mammoth Lakes has about 50 public charging ports, including several free or low-cost stations. 

• A key location is the Mammoth Lakes Supercharger at 1475 Tavern Rd with 8 Tesla Superchargers rated up to 150 kW. 
• Some hotels (e.g., The Village Lodge) offer destination or Level-2 chargers, but note: many are reserved for hotel guests and some require specific plug adapters. 
• Key tip: Because of altitude and cold weather conditions, EV range can drop faster than on flat terrain—plan to charge sooner rather than later.

Recommendations for Mammoth area guests:

• If you drive an EV other than Tesla, make sure your adapter works with CCS/J-1772 plugs.
• Consider charging at your arrival day and again mid-stay if you plan to explore the region.
• Use apps like PlugShare or ChargeHub to locate current station status, availability, and connector types.
• Leave plenty of buffer—especially if you’ll drive uphill or back to lower elevation.

EV Charging in Bishop
Just about 40 minutes south of Mammoth on US-395, Bishop offers more electric-vehicle charging infrastructure and is a useful stop either before arrival or as a backup.

• Bishop has around 38 to 54 public charging station ports (depending on mapping service) with approximately 11 fast-charging stations (DC-Fast). 
• Notable locations include:
  • An Electrify America fast-charging station at 1190 N Main St.
  • A public charger at the Caltrans District 9 office (500 S Main St) with CCS & CHAdeMO connectors, free to users. 
  • Tesla Supercharger sites at 151 S Warren Street and 1335-1373 Rocking W Dr.

Recommendations for Bishop-area charging:

• Use Bishop as a pre-trip top-up location if leaving from southern California or heading into the Eastern Sierra via US-395.
• Check whether the charger is open and available (some DC-Fast stations may experience outages).
• If you drive a non-Tesla vehicle, make sure you have the correct connector/adaptor since some stations are Tesla-specific.

Summary & Traveler Tips

• Plan ahead. Elevation, colder temperatures, and fewer charging stations mean you should aim to charge sooner.
• Use tools. Apps like PlugShare and ChargeHub help you filter by plug types (CCS, J-1772, Tesla NACS), charging speed, and availability.
• Stay flexible. In high-season weekends or peak snow travel, chargers may be busy—factor in an extra 30-60 minutes buffer.
• Know your adapter. If you have a non-Tesla EV and consider using Tesla stations, check compatibility and rules ahead of time.
• Use both locations. Mammoth is your stay-destination with some charging support. Bishop is your go-to hub for backup or longer-range planning.
