On Wednesday, Mercedes-Benz announced a partnership with Starbucks to install fast-charging stations at over 100 US sites
According to Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging, the program will initially feature 400 kW EV outlets at Starbucks stores along Interstate 5, a west coast travel corridor extending from Canada to Mexico.
As part of an initial $1 billion investment, the Mercedes unit established its first charging station in 2023.
Since its inception, the charging network has established a dozen locations in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
The network is anticipated to expand to nearly half of the states in the country within the next 12 to 18 months and to encompass approximately 10,000 charging points in the United States, Europe, China, and other primary markets by the end of the decade.
