As part of its environmental promise, Starbucks is installing Mercedes-Benz high-power electric vehicle chargers at locations on a 1,400-mile route along Interstate 5 from Washington to California.

"At Starbucks, we have a long history of bringing renewable and clean energy projects to connect communities that lack the infrastructure," Michael Kobori, Starbucks chief sustainability officer, said in a company press release. "Partnering with Mercedes is the next step in expanding our EV charging network so our customers can refuel sustainably while they enjoy Starbucks."

Starbucks locations on the I-5 route will feature the Alpitronic Hypercharger 400, equipped with NACS cables.

"The collaboration between two leading brands like Mercedes-Benz and Starbucks will uplift the charging experience for all EV drivers," Andrew Cornelia, president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging, said in a company press release. "We envision a future where charging your vehicle is as easy as enjoying your favorite Starbucks."
