Casey’s doubles stores with EV chargers throughout network
The retailer has expanded its alternative fuel options to further sustainability initiatives and meet customer needs.
Casey’s General Stores continues to expand its alternative fuel options in response to evolving guest needs and as part of its environmental stewardship efforts. In addition to offering biofuel options, the retailer has recently added its 11th Tesla Supercharger at its Urbana, Illinois location.
As consumer demand for alternative fuel options continues to grow, the company has continued to add EV charging stations across its 16-state footprint. Over the last year, the number of chargers throughout its network has more than doubled.
“At Casey’s, we strive to build a sustainable future for our team members, guests and the communities in which we live and work. As part of our environmental stewardship efforts, we are exploring a number of ways to provide our guests with more lower carbon fuel options, including biofuels and EV charging stations,” said Darren Rebelez, President and CEO of Casey’s.
To support its EV-related efforts, the brand is building partnerships with local and national organisations, including Electrify America and EV manufacturers. The chain also has participated in grant opportunities with local utilities such as MidAmerican Energy in Iowa and Omaha Public Power District in Nebraska.
Along with its new Tesla Supercharger option, Casey’s has 134 EV chargers across 28 locations in the Midwest and South, with plans to add more equipment in 2023. Each of these locations is equipped with DC fast-charging, while select locations offer level 2 charging in addition to multiple plug options.
