Sheetz adding EV charging stations
Stacy Wescoe//October 11, 2023//
Listen to this articleThanks to grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Transporation Sheetz will be adding electric vehicle charging stations to 12 more of its locations throughout the state.
PennDOT recently selected 54 projects in 35 counties. Sheetz received six grants to add EV charging stations. Six other grants were awarded to site hosts that plan to add EV chargers at Sheetz locations in the state.
The initiative brings a total investment of $33.8 million to increase availability to EV charging in Pennsylvania as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. The NEVI program was established last year through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and provides states with $7.5 billion to help make EV charging more accessible nationally.
“We look forward to working with PennDOT to expand EV charging access across the state of Pennsylvania,” said Trevor Walter, vice president of Petroleum Supply Management at Sheetz. “Ensuring that we remain innovative is at the forefront of everything we do as a company. After celebrating a significant EV milestone earlier this year, we remain committed to increasing the reach of our EV charging network to meet the needs of current and future customers.”
In April, Sheetz said it surpassed a major milestone of 2 million EV charging sessions. The convenience store chain installed its first EV charger in Pennsylvania in 2012. Today, Sheetz has 683 total electric vehicle chargers at 98 of its store locations.
