Charlotte’s Bojangles is getting into the EV charging game, with the fast food chain’s first DC fast charger going online this month in Savannah, Georgia.
With over 870 restaurants spread across 23 states, Bojangles has plenty of locations that could benefit from an EV top-up station, and the good news is that the company is planning to install multiple Level 2 AC chargers and DC fast chargers at various franchises in the United States.

We’re turning that stop into something meaningful: a chance to relax, refuel, and enjoy a true Bojangles experience. This is about more than charging vehicles; it’s about redefining the stop along the way.”
The chain’s first station in Savannah features a pair of XCharge C7 DC fast chargers offering a total of four ports—two CCS1 and two NACS. According to the charge manufacturer, the all-in-one stalls don’t need a separate cabinet and can output up to 400 kilowatts at a maximum of 500 amps, but according to the PlugShare listing, the dispensers at the Bojangles on 4401 Ogeechee Road are limited to 240 kW.
