The list of retailers, restaurant groups and travel centers experimenting with EV charging is growing. Starbucks, 7-Eleven, Walmart, Target, Pilot Flying J, Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores and others have launched EV charging initiatives. McDonald said that most regional and major convenience store chains have at least been testing on-site EV charging.
He estimates that about 1,500 restaurants across the U.S. offered Level 2 or Level 3 charging last year, based on an analysis of Alternative Fuels Data Center metrics.
Having a safe, comfortable place to charge is essential for drivers as electrification scales. A typical 10-minute fill-up at a gas station becomes a 30- to 40-minute power-up at an EV charger. EV owners want to charge up at a location that is near travel corridors, is well-lit and offers key amenities, such as restrooms, food and beverages, a place to sit and early and late hours.
