The first such EV charging stations were recently installed at its New York stores in Ripley and Waterloo. Each location will feature two dual port 160 KW Level 3 DC fast charging stations. AC chargers are also available at Love’s locations.

The company has specified that the groundbreaking on the next four NEVI-funded charging stations will kick off this year in Pennsylvania, and another four will also be installed in Kentucky. In addition, Love’s Travel writes: “All new Love’s Travel Stops will have space for EV chargers allocated to be able to quickly partner with local utility companies to install EV charging stations should there be customer demand.”

Currently, Love’s charging network has over 100 EV charging stations installed at 28 stores in 11 states. In 2025, the company has big plans to expand its network across a number of US states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.

“Love’s is honored to play a critical role in actively shaping and building out the fast-charging electric vehicle network across the nation,” said Shane Wharton, Love’s president. “Expanding the EV charging network is not new to us as we first started in the EV space in 2017 and have continued to grow the network. We now offer more than 100 chargers at 28 stores in 11 states. These future EV investments reinforce our commitment to meeting customers’ needs regardless of fuel type.”
