Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz announced a deal to put the carmaker’s EV charging stations at 100 of the coffee giant’s U.S. locations.
The first phase of the plan will put the chargers at Starbucks locations on the West Coast’s Interstate 5 corridor.
Customers at some Starbucks (SBUX) locations can soon get more than just a caffeine “charge.” They’ll be able to get one for their electric vehicle, too.
The world’s biggest coffee chain is working with Mercedes-Benz to offer EV charging stations at 100 Starbucks locations in the U.S. The first phase will have the German carmaker placing its 400-kilowatt devices in Starbucks stores along Interstate 5 on the West Coast.
Starbucks said it has “nearby access” to charging stations at more than 1,000 locations.
Mercedes-Benz last year said it would join Tesla’s (TSLA) North American Charging System network.
Shares of Starbucks fell 0.5% in Wednesday trading. They’re down more than 20% in 2024.
