How Sheetz Partnered With Tesla and Brought EV Charging to Rural America

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

“Especially this summer, the cost of charging can feel like a pleasant surprise. When we pulled into the Sheetz in Morgantown, West Virginia, our battery was at 23%. We charged up to 97% and the cost was $18.81. Electricity costs can vary by region, but tend to be significantly lower than gas. Filling up the tank of a gas-powered SUV can run well over $100 these days. By comparison, we paid $73 total to charge up the car five times over 990 miles.”

Sheetz MTO sandwiches have long been decent road fuel. Not gourmet, but decent inexpensive road fuel. Maybe an Eastern version of the Iowa Casey’s pizza.
Them embracing EV chargers is a savvy move.
It wasn’t so long ago that we made, mostly, a transition in most states to self service fueling.
Those who think that charging infrastructure is a bridge to far are listening to Fox News type BS.
The need will be met.
