The sometimes maligned but nevertheless delicious red-headed stepchild of Australian fast-food chains, Red Rooster, has partnered with Evie Networks to roll out EV charging at its stores across the country.
Red Rooster and Evie Networks on Monday celebrated the installation of the first two fast charger at the recently refurbished Red Rooster in Vermont, in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, the first of many slated to be rolled out across the fast-food chain’s network.
“Gone are the days where we drive to fuel stations; instead, drivers can charge while they grab some chicken and chips,” said Chris Mills, Evie Networks CEO.
The general consensus on Plugshare is that the location is a good one for a quick top up, and the temptation of free chips has not been lost on EV drivers. To claim your free chips, just show the Evie app screen at the counter.
The announcement follows a similar partnership unveiled in late-2021 between Evie Networks and another Australia fast-food chain, Hungry Jacks.
