Level-by-level details are fuzzy, but the EV stalls sit in the main garage next to the terminal.
SLC lists EV charging stations in the on-site parking garage immediately adjacent to the single Terminal, so you park and walk straight inside without a shuttle. You pay standard garage rates (recently around $35/day), with no separate EV upcharge mentioned in airport materials. Walking time from most garage spots to the check-in counters runs 3–6 minutes, depending on level and row.
The airport confirms “designated parking stalls for EV charging” in the garage but never states how many plugs exist or which levels hold them. That gap shows up in forum threads where EV owners say they can’t tell if there are six chargers or sixty. With no clear map or level callouts, you might spend extra minutes circling floors to spot the green-marked stalls near certain elevator cores.
Because of that uncertainty, regulars on Utah travel forums say they arrive with a high state of charge, often 70–90%, and then treat these stalls as bonus top‑off space. They assume chargers might be full during peak morning bank hours, roughly 6–9 a.m., when the garage itself often reaches its busier patterns. The behavior is “park first, plug if lucky,” not “count on a dead‑to‑full session.”
Watch out for airport peak weeks like ski season Saturdays in January and February, when overall garage occupancy spikes and EV spots are even more of a question mark. There’s no online pre-booking or live availability display for chargers, only the general parking capacity status on the SLC site. One practical tip: stop at a DC fast charger along I‑80 or I‑215, then treat the terminal garage EV stations as a nice surprise instead of the only plan.
