    Subway has announced they'll be creating EV Charging Oasis in partnership with GenZ EV Solutions. This will put together Subway restaurants with charging stations, sitting areas and even playgrounds. They'll start later this year and will include existing restaurants as well as new ones. Sounds kind of like the service areas found on Thruways, except without the gas (the liquid kind). ;)

    Hmmm, seems very popular in Norway to usually partner EV charging stations with convenience stores.

    Does it include an upgrade to their sandwiches?

    Maybe the charging will count towards their Subway MyWay rewards.
    Pretty sure there won't be any drive thru and curbside pickup will be cancelled. Seems like a better fit for Sonic.

    Add a decent size screen. Make it a mini drive in movie.

    The perfect Supercharger station has one or more, 24x7, fast food or mini-markets with clean bathrooms on the road(s) leading to the station. The station parking spots are walking distant, 50-100 yards, away from any popular parking spots.

    Oh so the fight is ON!

    Chargers are great and all, but between Wawa and Subway I'm not sure who makes the sadder sandwich.

    Truthfully both have satisfied me when I was desperate, but let's not get carried away thinking it's a compliment...

    ...and shakes.

    The sandwiches are consistent. Had better, but there is also better burgers out there than what the main fast food places serve.

    How the mighty have fallen... used to be able to get great European-style pretzels in PA. Seems like most of those bakeries dried up and blew away, all that's left is the wawas and auntie-annes with their butter soaked style.

    Ah well, still beats Sheetz. Only thing I feel safe consuming there is 87 unleaded.

    It makes no sense to me, all these quickie places, but I hardly ever see one at a hotel

    I guess it depends on the hotels? I'm used to seeing car chargers outside most of the hotels I stay in for work. Sometimes it's just two outlets with a placard, sometimes it's a whole row of the Tesla booths but it's rare to see no chargers at all.

    The stench of Auntie Anne's permeates the mall and almost makes me gag...

    There's a Runza in Omaha with a SC in their side lot. Haven't been there, but I'd bet any Runza sandwich would win the test over a Subway.

    I've only made it to Runza once in my travels. It would be worth going back.
