How do Bo make dat dirty rice? We still don’t have an answer to that question, but we do know where we gone charge our EV the next time we feel like having some faux Cajun-style chicken.

In 2025, chicken chain Bojangles announced plans to deploy EV charging at “a wide range” of its 800 company-owned and franchised restaurants. Now the company has opened its first EV charging station, at a location in Savannah, Georgia.

The project was developed in partnership with XLR8 America and Energy and Environmental Design Services.

The bright yellow Bojangles-branded charging stations will provide EV drivers with charging access while visiting the restaurants. The company’s plans are a bit vague—Bo says only that the Savannah location is “the first step in a broader plan to add EV charging infrastructure at restaurants in additional markets,” and that sites will include both Level 2 and Level 3 chargers.

“With EV charging, time becomes an asset” said Richard Del Valle, Chief Information Officer at Bojangles. “We’re turning that stop into a chance to relax, refuel and eat while charging a vehicle.”
