Something New Is Coming to Kwik Trip Locations In the Midwest
On Monday, September 30th the Midwestern convenience store chain Kwik Trip (better known as Kwik Star in Iowa) shared that some exciting changes were ahead.
Popularity of Electric Vehicles
The popularity of electric vehicles has grown considerably around the world. However, here in the United States, it remains relatively stagnant, according to a report from Our World In Data.
Approximately one in four cars that were sold in 2023 (globally) were electric vehicles.
With this growing popularity, Kwik Trip Inc. is attempting to keep up with this global demand.
Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Coming to Kwik Star/Trips Near You
Officials from Kwik Trip announced the news that select locations will be getting electric vehicle chargers installed. There will also be an app that will help drivers of electric vehicles find charging locations.
These eventual locations will have connectors for Combined Charging Standard as well as the North American Charging Standard.
In addition, when four vehicles are plugged in, they will have a minimum 150kW of power per dispenser.
Where Will These Electric Charging Stations Be Located?
Twenty-four Kwik Star/Kwik Trip locations in Wisconsin will be suited up with these electric vehicle charging stations. This is actually round one of awards through the Wisconsin Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program.
