7-Eleven Is Building Its Own Electric Vehicle Charging Network

Multinational convenience store giant 7-Eleven has announced the advent of 7Charge, a new charging network that’s aimed at making the lives of American EV owners easier than ever before.

Billed as a “convenient and reliable fast-charging experience,” the stations will be made available at various 7-Eleven stores in the United States, with plans to expand to Canada. The company wants to build one of the largest fast-charging networks of any retailer in North America, and the service is already available in California, Colorado, Florida, and Texas.

“For over 95 years, 7-Eleven has innovated to meet our customers’ needs – delivering convenience where, when, and how they want it. [We] are innovating once again by expanding our business to provide EV drivers [the] convenience of the future today,” said CEO Joe DePinto.
