Jacksons Food Stores has tapped OnPoint EV Solutions to help install Level 3 Fast Charging Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at nine of its stores starting in summer of 2025, with “more sites to follow in late 2025 and into 2026,” according to a press release.

“These sites are expected to deliver DC Super-Fast Level 3 charging to thousands of EV drivers traveling the I-84 corridor in Idaho, the I-15 corridor in Southern California and the I-90 corridor in Washington State daily,” OnPoint said.

OnPoint’s charging stations will include a solar canopy, high speed internet services, security cameras and digital kiosks integrated with OnPoint’s Mobile App.

“Adding EV Charging to Jacksons stores gives even more drivers access to best-in-class services like fresh food, beverages, groceries, clean restrooms and, of course, the very good chance they’ll be offered a free banana,” said Cory Jackson, Jacksons Food Stores president. “Electric vehicle owners embrace innovation, making them a great fit with the Jacksons brand and all its offerings.”

Rolly Woolsey, co-founder of OnPoint EV Solutions added, “By delivering fast speed Wi-Fi connectivity at these Jacksons stores and OnPoint’s EV Chargers tied to the OnPoint EV App, which can be downloaded from either the Apple or Google Stores, we are looking to improve the entire EV charging experience. In the near future, EV customers will be able to reserve a charging session and link to the Jacksons store app to preorder services and get curb-side delivery.”

Last week, Pilot announced its collaborative electric vehicle (EV) network with General Motors and EVgo Inc. has reached more than 130 fast-charging locations in over 25 states. The charging network “offers an elevated experience along popular corridors and major interstates, enabling long-distance EV travel,” the retailer said. Pilot, GM and EVgo first announced their collaboration in 2022 and are working to build a total of up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J locations by 2026.
