Morning Brew's Jordyn Grzelewski is reporting that Mercedes-Benz and Starbucks have partnered to expand the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the United States.
This initiative involves installing over 100 DC fast chargers at Starbucks locations, beginning with a 1,400-mile stretch along Interstate 5 from Washington to California. These 400 kW chargers, among the most powerful available, can significantly reduce charging times, allowing some EVs to add 150 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
Starbucks will provide the space for the chargers, while Mercedes-Benz and MN8 Energy will cover the installation costs. This collaboration aims to make EV charging more accessible and convenient, integrating it into everyday activities like stopping for coffee.
