Volvo Starbucks Announce Charging Network
Volvo Car Group, the premium car maker, and Starbucks Coffee Company are collaborating to develop the world's first electric car charging network.
This fast-charging network, powered by Charge-point, will comprise up to 60 Volvo-branded chargers at up to 15 Starbucks locations.
The collaboration is a mutually beneficial one, as Volvo expects its customers will appreciate the convenience of the coffee chain's locations while they charge their cars, while Starbucks customers can expect to be able to enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee while they wait for their car to charge.
More importantly, Volvo owners will use the chargers at no cost or at preferential rates, while drivers of all other EVs will be able to use the stations for a fee.
“Volvo wants to give people the freedom to move and lower their impact on the environment,” Anders Gustafsson, Sr. Vice President Americas and President and CEO, Volvo Car USA, explains “Working with Starbucks we can do that by giving them enjoyable places to relax while their cars recharge.”
The installation of the DC chargers is expected to begin this summer, the automaker plans to complete the project by the end of the year.
Volvo is currently developing a number of electric cars, including a small electric crossover developed with Polestar. The company’s worldwide plan is to offer only battery-powered vehicles by the end of the decade.
