Love's Travel Stops Expands EV Charging Nationwide

Love's Travel Stops announced the installation of new electric vehicle (EV) charging technologies and infrastructure across the nation.

The company recently broke ground on next-generation EV charging stations at its New York stores in Ripley and Waterloo. Each location will feature two dual port Level 3 DC fast chargers (four charging spots) with high-power outputs (160KW).

“Love’s is honored to play a critical role in actively shaping and building out the fast-charging electric vehicle network across the nation,” said Shane Wharton, Love’s president in a statement. “Expanding the EV charging network is not new to us as we first started in the EV space in 2017 and have continued to grow the network. We now offer more than 100 chargers at 28 stores in 11 states. These future EV investments reinforce our commitment to meeting customers’ needs regardless of fuel type.”

Among the advantages of these charging stations are their locations, which are right off highways with efficient entry and exit points. Each new EV charging area is expected to have canopies installed to protect drivers from weather as well as typical fueling amenities such as trash cans and windshield cleaning supplies.

In collaboration with Trillium Energy Solutions, a Love’s Family of Companies brand, Love’s has secured state and National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program federal grants to assist in building out the EV charging infrastructure across the country.
