Energized EV has opened four fast-charging ports at a Hardee’s restaurant located at 587 Carrollton Street in Temple, Georgia. This initial site marks the beginning of a planned rollout of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. locations in the United States.
Hardware and Connector Specifications
The Temple, Georgia location features two dual-port XCharge C7 DC fast chargers, each rated at 240 kW, providing a total of four charging ports. The hardware utilizes software provided by Monta and is designed to adjust power output between its two connectors. Both NACS and CCS1 connectors are available at the site. Energy & Environmental Design Services LLC (E&EDS) serves as the exclusive installer for the program, managing charging infrastructure design, installation, maintenance, and electrical contracting.
Rollout Plans and Market Context
While Energized EV has confirmed that more Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. sites are planned across the US, a specific site count or rollout schedule has not yet been announced. The announcement did not disclose pricing details for charging sessions at the Temple location. For European readers, the expansion highlights an ongoing global trend among restaurant and hospitality brands integrating high-power direct current infrastructure directly into daily commuter and road-trip pit stops.
Practical Takeaway
Drivers visiting the Hardee’s location in Temple, Georgia, can access dual NACS and CCS1 fast-charging infrastructure rated up to 240 kW while dining, though future site availability and pricing remain to be determined as the network expands.
