It's Electric (Vehicle Charger in Apgar)!

Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center

Descriptive Transcript

Passenger-seat view through the windshield of a car driving past a sign for the Apgar Visitor Center.

The driver, a woman with short grey hair, looks out the window. She pulls up to an electric vehicle charger and gets out. She takes the charger from its port and plugs it into her car.

Seven park rangers appear, dancing to the music. They wear variations of the NPS green and grey uniform.

Colors and contrast brighten and increase, lending a 90s vibe.

The driver stands with her hand on the charger, brow furrowed and mouth agape.

The rangers dance the Electric Slide on the sidewalk next to the charger. A ranger grooves two steps backwards and claps. In slow motion, another does a kick-turn. The group windmills their arms forward and back and steps in sync. A man with blue sunglasses claps. The group boogies back and forth, smiling. A woman with long hair and sunglasses claps her hands. Two pairs of feet hustle to the beat next to the charger. A man with purple sunglasses shimmies. The group dances forward and back. Two rangers twist and point at the charger. A woman pumps a can of bear spray to the beat. A ranger in a beanie and pink sunglasses pulls her elbows back and then reels forward. Rangers cartwheel their arms forward. A woman sways her hips while pumping her hands in opposite directions. A ranger holding binoculars to her face bounces up and down with a big smile.

The driver mouths, "What?" in disbelief. She pulls the charger out.

The rangers move backward to where they came, and shrink down.

The driver holds her hand to her cheek, shaking her head. She puts the charger back and shrugs.

Description

Our rangers are amped up for the new electric vehicle (EV) charger in the Apgar Visitor Center parking lot! Thanks to generous Glacier National Park Conservancy donors, this level- two EV charging station is free for public use (limited to two hours of charging time when in heavy demand). While we can’t promise rangers dancing the Electric Slide every time you plug in, we hope the reduction of carbon emissions and improvement in sustainable travel accessibility will be enough to spark joy.
