Starbucks Plans to Add Mercedes EV Charging Stations at 100 U.S. Stores

Key Takeaways

  • 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.
