Energized EV has opened four fast-charging ports at a Hardee's restaurant at 587 Carrollton Street in Temple, Georgia. The company plans to add EV fast charging at more Hardee's and Carl's Jr. locations across the United States.
Why it matters
The site places charging at a location where drivers already stop, which can make public fast charging more convenient for Georgia motorists. Temple is described as the start of a broader rollout across the country.
The site uses two dual-port XCharge C7 DC fast chargers, each rated at 240 kW, offering both NACS and CCS1 connectors. Charging prices at the Temple location were not disclosed in the announcement.
