Road Ranger adds EV chargers throughout retail network

The retailer partnered with FreeWire to expand its offering to EV customers establishing 12 charging stations.

Road Ranger Travel Center will add electric vehicle chargers to its retail network by establishing 12 charging stations.

The brand has partnered with FreeWire to deploy alternative fueling options to consumers at its outlets. Road Ranger has already welcomed its first of many EV Boost Charging Stations to its Waco, Texas location. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a total of four machines were commissioned, giving the site the ability to charge up to 8 EVs at one time.

The stations commissioned will be deployed across 6 sites in 2023, with the subsequent commitment expected to double in the coming years.

“Our goal is to provide the consumer with the energy they need to keep them going. We know this comes in many forms - whether its food, water, gas, or electricity, we want all travelers to feel welcome here. As we continue to grow, adding EV charging to the already long list of amenities Road Ranger has to offer is very exciting,” said Marko Zaro, CEO of Road Ranger.

The company has enhanced its environmentally conscious efforts by offering a fast charge solution to their consumers. Boost Chargers will possess an ultrafast charger and an integrated lithium-ion battery pack with 160kWh of total energy storage capacity and Battery Management System (BMS), providing fast charging for up to two EVs per machine simultaneously.

Road Ranger’s EV Charging stations are compatible with all Level 3 EVs, as well as Teslas with an adapter. A single electric vehicle can charge at 150 kW, or two EVs can charge simultaneously at 75 kW.
