Kwik Trip Announces EV Charging Program

Kwik Trip announced Monday it will be adding electric vehicle chargers to many of its Midwest stores.

The Kwik Charge TM program will provide direct current fast chargers (DCFC’s) to guests traveling throughout the region, according to a press release.”This program will provide a reliable, guest focused experience creating new expectations for how electric vehicle owners charge their vehicles,” the press release stated.

Connectors for both Combined Charging Standard (CCS) and the North American Charging Standard (NACS) will be offered, which Kwik Trip said allows drivers of almost any electric vehicle to charge at a “safe, clean, and staffed 24/7 location.”

The chargers will offer a minimum of 150kW of power per dispenser when four vehicles are plugged in or up to 400kW of power for a single vehicle.

“These rates depend on a variety of factors when the vehicle pulls up, but Kwik Trip is excited to be able to offer some of the fastest chargers in the market, furthering their commitment to quality guest service,” the press release stated.

Kwik Trip will also include a standalone mobile application to enable guests to view charger availability, pricing and where chargers are located along their route. This application will be built using software through Driivz, Inc.

“At Kwik Trip our goal is to take care of all our guests,” said Scott Zietlow, CEO and president of Kwik Trip said. “We are pleased to offer the Kwik Charge TM program to our guests who drive EVs. They will not only be able to charge their vehicle but can take advantage of all our quality offerings inside our stores.”
