- Energized EV opened four fast-charging ports at 587 Carrollton Street in Temple, Georgia, as the first site in a planned U.S. rollout for Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.
- Hardee’s has two dual-port XCharge C7 DC fast chargers at the Temple site, each rated at 240 kW.
- XCharge C7 adjusts power output between its two connectors, and the Temple location supports both NACS and CCS1.
- Monta provides the software for the Temple chargers.
- E&EDS is the program’s exclusive installer, handling charging infrastructure design, installation, maintenance, and electrical contracting.
- CKE Restaurants vice president of facilities and maintenance Mike Darger said adding charging gives EV drivers a convenient place to stop, recharge, and eat, with more locations planned across the country.
- Energized EV president and CEO Devin Grandis called Temple “the beginning of a much larger expansion,” but the announcement lists no site count, rollout schedule, or charging prices.
Why it matters: EV drivers now have four DC fast-charging ports at a Hardee’s in Temple, served by two 240 kW chargers with NACS and CCS1, while CKE Restaurants adds recharging where drivers already stop. The immediate change is practical charging access during meals, errands, or road trips, but the rollout’s reach remains undefined because no site count, schedule, or prices were announced.
