7-11 Is Opening 500 EV Charging Stations By the End of 2022

7-11 announced Tuesday that it will be placing 500 EV chargers at 250 stores in the U.S. and Canada by the end of 2022. CNET reports: OK, but if they can't keep the Slurpee machine up and running, what kind of charging can users expect? Well, we don't know, and 7-11 isn't saying, but we do know that they will be DC fast-chargers, and it looks like they'll be supplied by ChargePoint, so we'd bet on anything from 60-ish kilowatts to 125 kilowatts. These new chargers will join 7-11's small network of 22 charging stations at 14 stores in four states, and the whole thing is a part of 7-11's ongoing work to reduce its carbon footprint.
