Bojangles Adds EV Chargers in Savannah as Georgia Charging Ports Jump 29%

Summary
Bojangles has installed bright yellow EV chargers at a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant, betting drivers will buy food and drinks while their cars charge.
The move comes even as U.S. EV sales have slumped after Congress and President Trump ended a federal tax credit worth up to $7,500 last fall.
Georgia still had 29% more charging ports last month than a year earlier, reflecting faster charger growth in Southern states including Florida and Texas.
That expansion points to a mismatch in the market: automakers may be selling fewer EVs, but businesses and charging companies still see too few plugs for the vehicles already on U.S. roads.
