EV charging at Starbucks

<Volvo and ChargePoint will build EV charging stations at Starbucks in 5 states>

The companies plan on installing 15 DC fast charging stations at Starbucks along a 1,350-mile route that stretches from Seattle to Denver. Each station will feature four plugs, making it a total of 60 chargers. And they will also bear Volvo’s branding, making it one of the few EV charging stations in the US to feature an automaker’s logo aside from Tesla’s Supercharger network.

Other automakers have had similar ideas. Volkswagen, which owns the EV charging company Electrify America, installs many of its chargers in big box store parking lots, like Walmart and Target. And in 2018, Tesla submitted plans to build a massive, 62-stall Supercharger station in Santa Monica that features a restaurant and movie theater.
