Carolina-born Bojangles, which serves “craveable Southern food,” notably fried chicken and biscuits, boasts some 800 company-owned and franchised restaurants.

Some of the charging stations will have Level 2 chargers and some will have DC fast chargers. There will be a minimum of four charging spots per restaurant.

Smart Big Box has contracted with Energy and Environmental Design Services as the exclusive installer and maintenance partner for Bo’s chargers, which will be operated by Alyath.
