Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz to Install Fast EV Chargers at 100 Locations

The new charging stations aim to ease range anxiety and boost EV adoption across the U.S., starting with the I-5 corridor.

400kW chargers will be installed at Starbucks locations, offering 80% charge in about 30 minutes.
The initial phase focuses on the West Coast's Interstate 5, with future expansion to urban areas and charging deserts.
The partnership supports both companies' sustainability goals and enhances Starbucks' customer experience.
EV chargers will be accessible to all electric vehicle brands, not just Mercedes-Benz models.
Mercedes-Benz has invested $1 billion in its North American charging network, with plans to cover half the U.S. in 18 months.
