The pilot was first announced by Volvo and Starbucks in March 2022, and 50 ChargePoint DC fast chargers are now online at Starbucks stores along a 1,350-mile (2,172 km) route between Denver and Seattle. The chargers, which are Volvo Cars-and-Starbucks-branded, are sited approximately 100 miles (160 km) apart.
Drivers of Volvo EVs can use the car’s integrated ChargePoint app to find and access charging stations at participating Starbucks locations, while drivers of other EVs equipped with a standard CCS1 or CHAdeMO receptacle can use the ChargePoint smartphone app.
The 15 Starbucks with Volvo DC fast chargers are in:
- Seattle, WA
- Issaquah, WA
- Yakima, WA
- Hermiston, OR
- La Grande, OR
- Nampa, ID
- Twin Falls, ID
- Uintah, ID
- Sandy, UT
- Provo, UT
- Grand Junction, CO
- Glenwood Springs, CO
- Silverthorne, CO
- Idaho Springs, CO
- Broomfield, CO
"The effort gives EV drivers a string of familiar places to recharge themselves and their cars. While their vehicles are recharging outside, drivers and their passengers can relax comfortably inside with their favorite Starbucks beverage." Volvo Cars said.
