Starbucks Teams Up With Volvo

Last week Volvo and Starbucks announced a partnership to install EV charging stations at some Starbucks stores. The partnership will target stores along a 1 350-mile route from Denver to Seattle, with stops available roughly every 100 miles.

One of the problems with electric cars is that it takes time to recharge the batteries. Having easy access to a Starbucks sounds like a great idea. Starbucks is already considered a home away from home, or as the company calls it 'The Third Place' - home and work being the other two.

If the pilot programme goes well, the coming surge of EV recharging stations could be a great way for Starbucks to open new stores.
