Volvo Car USA and Starbucks are installing public EV fast charging infrastructure at some of the coffee company\u2019s U.S. stores.<\/p>\n

According to the most recent update, the two partners already deployed 50 Volvo Cars-and-Starbucks-branded DC fast chargers at 15 Starbucks locations along a 1,350-mile route between the Denver area and Seattle.<\/p>\n

The DC fast chargers, supplied by ChargePoint, are equipped with two connector types\u2014CCS1 and CHAdeMO\u2014and are listed on ChargePoint’s network, so they can be used by any compatible electric vehicle (Tesla EVs currently need an adapter).<\/p>\n

Volvo says that its latest 2024 model year Volvo XC40 Recharge and Volvo C40 Recharge electric cars (see pricing and range details here) can get up to 110 miles of range in as little as 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

The main idea behind the new charging network initiative is to give “EV drivers a string of familiar places to recharge themselves and\u00a0their cars”. Additionally, the new chargers are promised to boost the reliability of the public charging infrastructure, as “a combination of virtual and in-person monitoring supports quick response to problems, minimizing downtime and consumer frustration.”<\/p>\n

The scenic route from the Denver area to Seattle passes near six national forests. It includes the Snoqualmie Pass in Washington, stretching the Snake River in Idaho, spanning Arches National Park in Utah, and connecting outdoor destinations like Park City and Vail.<\/p>\n
