Wawa opened its first Wawa-branded electric vehicle (EV) chargers on Jan. 16 at a store in Alachua, Florida.
That’s according to Vince Cipollone, director of EV charging and new fuel business at Wawa, who posted about the launch on LinkedIn.
The site, at 16304 NW US Highway 44, has 16 charging positions equipped with Tesla's V4 325-killowatt supercharger equipment.
Customers can expect preferred payment options, plug-and-charge, live availability updates, real-time wait times, preconditioning and driver support in addition to the amenities offered at Wawa, Cipollone said.
- Wawa is No. 10 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. c-store chains by store count.
Wawa has hosted chargers for a fee but has not owned them or set its own prices until now. The convenience-store chain has Tesla Superchargers at 223 sites, totaling 2,115 stalls, Max de Zegher, director of charging at Tesla, said in a post on X. He said Wawa is the host with the most Tesla chargers.
He continued, “Today, I'm grateful Wawa is choosing Tesla again, this time for the first charging infrastructure that they wanted to own, price and brand. For this site, @TeslaCharging also handled the design, permitting and build using pre-assembled supercharger units. It's part of the Supercharger secret sauce keeping cost down.”
Wawa partnered with EV charging network IONNA in July to install high-speed EV charging stations—called Rechargeries—at multiple Wawa locations. The Rechargeries are at Wawa sites in Daytona Beach, Bradenton, Pensacola and Orlando, Florida.
Wawa, Wawa, Pennsylvania, has approximately 1,100 locations open in eight states: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina and Alabama, as well as in Washington, D.C.
