Sheetz operates hundreds of stores and gas stations in the mid-Atlantic region, and does about $7 billion in business across six U.S. states. Moreover, it already offers non-Tesla electric vehicle charging in eight locations. An alliance with Tesla would make much sense, given the increasing popularity of the brand.

Sheetz's executive vice president of petroleum supply, Michael Lorenz, confirmed the talks in a recent interview, even though he added that they "haven't done anything yet."

For its part, Tesla declined to comment, although it acknowledged its intentions to expand its charging network quickly.
