Circle K New Braunfels EV Charger Upgrade

Circle K is upgrading its New Braunfels location at 4340 S IH 35 with two 400 kW Alpitronc HYC400 EV chargers, replacing two existing ABB Terra EV 184 dispensers. The project, registered with TDLR as a renovation/alteration, is scheduled to finish in November 2026. This 1,500 sq ft scope of work includes new parking lot striping, concrete curbing, bollard sleeves, and four EV sign posts.

Project Scope and Cost

The estimated cost for this privately funded improvement is $50,000, equating to $33 per square foot. This figure is below the median estimated cost of $268,000 for similar renovation/alteration filings in Comal County. The scheduled build window of 32 days is shorter than the county median of 120 days for projects of this type.

Circle K Stores INC is the owner of record, with Kimley Horn serving as the design firm. Robert Lowell Keithley is the registered accessibility specialist for the filing. The project is located on private land in Comal County, serving a ZIP code 78132 area with a median household income of $126,934 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 estimates.

Regional Context and Status

This is one of six other TDLR-registered projects for Circle K Stores INC, which collectively total $9,226,000 in estimated costs across various Texas locations. Kimley Horn has also been the design firm for six other registered projects totaling $1,833,890. The TDLR status for this specific New Braunfels filing is Review Complete, with plan review finished in October 2026.

Construction began in October 2026, aligning with the plan review completion date. The project aims to enhance electric vehicle charging infrastructure at this specific Circle K location, distinct from its other Texas sites. The work involves replacing older dispensers with higher-capacity chargers to support faster charging needs for travelers on Interstate 35.
