Building out electric vehicle charging infrastructure is no small feat. With several providers such as EVgo, Flo, ChargePoint, and Tesla featuring different charging requirements, locating a reliable network can become challenging. On the other hand, 7-Eleven operates, franchises, or licenses more than 13,000 stores in the United States and Canada. That footprint will lay the foundation for the company’s new electric vehicle charging network 7Charge.
7-Eleven announced the new project on Thursday, March 16, 2023. Despite the news recently breaking, the 7Charge network is already operational at select locations in Florida, Texas, Colorado, and California. The CHAdeMO and Combined Charging System (CCS) plug types at each charging station enable customers to charge most EV makes and models.
