Would you stop at a restaurant to charge your EV while eating?

Energized EV has opened a fast-charging site with four ports at a Hardee's restaurant at 587 Carrollton Street in Temple, Georgia. The chargers are built for drivers who already stop at the restaurant, and the company plans more sites at Hardee's and Carl's Jr. locations across the US.

Why it matters

For Georgia drivers, the Temple site adds a public place to charge while grabbing a meal, which can matter on longer trips or in areas with few chargers. The announcement frames Temple as the start of a larger rollout, so the Georgia charging map may keep growing.

The Temple site at 587 Carrollton Street has four ports fed by two dual-port XCharge C7 chargers rated at 240 kW each. Both NACS and CCS1 connectors are available, and the announcement did not list prices.

The players

Energized EV

A fast-charging network that installs chargers at everyday retail and restaurant locations such as Hardee's and Carl's Jr.

Energy & Environmental Design Services LLC

The exclusive installer for the Energized EV program, providing charging infrastructure design, installation, maintenance, and electrical contracting.

Monta

A charging-software company whose platform runs the Temple chargers.

The details

Energized EV places chargers where drivers already stop, which here is a Hardee's restaurant. The two XCharge C7 units adjust power output between their two connectors, so the rated 240 kW per charger is shared across the ports in use. Monta supplies the charging software, and Energy & Environmental Design Services LLC, which the program names as its exclusive installer, handles design, installation, maintenance, and electrical contracting. Drivers with either NACS or CCS1 plugs can use the site.

Timeline

  1. The announcement about the Temple Hardee's charging opening was published on November 2, 2026.

  2. The exact date the Temple chargers began operating was not specified in the announcement.

The Home Front

The Temple site is one of a growing set of fast-charging stops placed at retail and restaurant locations rather than dedicated charging plazas. It extends the NACS-and-CCS1 dual-connector setup that is becoming common as public chargers adapt to the NACS plug.

If you drive an EV and live near Temple, check whether your plug type matches the NACS or CCS1 connectors before you plan a stop. Confirm current pricing in the charging app or at the site before relying on it for a trip, since the announcement did not list rates.

The takeaway

Adding chargers where drivers already stop can make a restaurant visit double as a charging break, so it is worth keeping an eye on nearby Georgia locations as the network grows. Before counting on a particular station, check that its connector type fits your vehicle and confirm the price in advance.
