Francis Energy Charging Network sells public DC fast-charging sessions to electric-vehicle drivers across Middle America.
Francis Energy Charging Network is a public DC fast-charging service for electric vehicles, with stations placed along highway corridors and in smaller cities across Middle America rather than in dense urban cores. The network spans more than 800 charging ports in nine states and is aimed at drivers covering long rural distances.
Charging happens at roadside stops such as travel centers, convenience stores, and hotels that break long drives into reachable legs. Francis Energy runs the network itself and also supplies chargers and turnkey installation for commercial sites, fleets, and dealerships.
