Love’s Travel Stops has begun adding new electric vehicle charging stations at dozens of stores across the country, including eight planned for Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma City-based company already has six EV charging stations in Oklahoma: Two near the Texas border, one on the interstate between OKC and Tulsa, and stations near Chickasha, McAlester and Muskogee.
Work will begin on the new Oklahoma charging stations in 2025, the company said. According to a map of planned charging stations , the eight new locations will mostly be along Interstates 40 and 35.
“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. “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.”
