7-Eleven intends to build one of the largest and most compatible electric vehicle EV fast-charging networks of any retailer in North America which is already delivering fast-charging services to customers in several locations in Florida, Texas, Colorado, and California.
7Charge sites allow customers to charge any EV make and model compatible with common CHAdeMO or Combined Charging System (CCS) plug types, provided a driver has a CCS or CHAdeMO adapter. The 7Charge app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play, or by visiting www.7-eleven.com/7charge.
"For over 95 years, 7-Eleven has innovated to meet our customers' needs – delivering convenience where, when and how they want it," said Joe DePinto, president and CEO at 7-Eleven. "Now, we are innovating once again to meet our customers where they are by expanding our business to provide EV drivers convenience of the future...today."
By expanding the 7Charge network, while continuing to utilise third-party fast-charging network options, 7-Eleven will have the ability to grow its network to match consumer demand and make EV charging available to neighbourhoods that have, until now, lacked access.
Once the network's expansion is complete, 7-Eleven says it will have one of the largest and most compatible fast-charging networks of any retailer in North America serving communities and customers at charging stations across its entire family of brands including Speedway and Stripes stores.
