Francis Energy Upgrades OK Charging Site with Tesla Supercharger Tech

In a significant move to bolster electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Francis Energy has announced an enhancement of its charging facilities at Crest Fresh Market in Norman, Oklahoma. This upgrade, funded by GoodFinch, a prominent asset management firm specializing in energy market transitions, marks the beginning of a larger project to incorporate Tesla's advanced technology into the Francis Energy Network.

The refurbished site now features Tesla's cutting-edge technology, which promises not only improved reliability and streamlined navigation planning but also a superior charging experience for all EV users. The V4 Superchargers, now operational at the Norman location, are equipped with the Magic Dock. This built-in adapter supports both CCS1 and NACS fast charging, ensuring compatibility with all new EV models available in the U.S.

“This upgrade marks an important milestone for Francis Energy as we continue to invest in best-in-class charging solutions for our customers,” said Seth Christ, CSO at Francis Energy. “By integrating Tesla hardware into our network, we are enhancing the driver experience today for all EV drivers across our network, and as the industry continues to grow, the infrastructure will be there to support it.”

Erik Fogelberg, Head of EV Infrastructure Investment at GoodFinch, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “GoodFinch is proud to partner with Francis Energy to invest in Tesla Supercharger infrastructure. As part of an industry-leading EV charging network—open to all drivers and designed to deliver fast, reliable charging—we are confident these upgrades will create meaningful community impact while generating strong portfolio performance. This collaboration reflects our broader commitment to deploying dependable, high-speed charging assets across the United States.”

This site in Norman is only the first of a series of Supercharger updates that Francis Energy intends to implement in Oklahoma and beyond in the coming months. The upgrades are part of the company's broader strategy to create a dependable and accessible EV charging network, supporting the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and addressing the needs of drivers, site hosts, and communities.
