Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging North America, a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz Group and MN8 Energy, has formed a partnership with Starbucks to install 400 kW EV chargers at 100 Starbucks stores located along Interstate 5 in the US.
“The collaboration between two leading brands like Mercedes-Benz and Starbucks will uplift the charging experience for all EV drivers,” said Andrew Cornelia, CEO of Mercedes-Benz HPC.
Mercedes-Benz HPC has locations across Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, and is expected to expand to nearly half of the US states over the next 12-18 months.
Starbucks, which has publicly committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, said that “partnering with Mercedes is the next step in expanding our EV charging network.”
