7-Eleven launches new EV charging network 7Charge

7-Eleven has launched 7Charge, its own EV charging network and app that improve charging experience at select 7-Eleven stores in the U.S.

7-Eleven intends to build one of the largest and most compatible EV fast-charging networks of any retailer in North America with the launch of 7Charge, which is already delivering fast-charging services to customers in several locations in Florida, Texas, Colorado, and California.

The selected sites allow customers to charge any EV model compatible with common CHAdeMO or CCS plug types, and the

7Charge app looks to offer a seamless charging and payment experience.

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

The 7Charge network will deliver on the growing consumer need for EV charging infrastructure, according to the company.
