Mercedes Partners With Starbucks, To Deploy Its Fast EV Chargers At More Than 100 Stores

Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging partners with Starbucks, to deploy its Fast EV chargers at more than 100 stores.

Its first charging site was opened in November 2023 as part of an initial $1 billion investment to build the most desirable charging network.

Since then, Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging has opened a dozen locations with 400 kW speed charging.

Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging on Wednesday announced its partnership with Starbucks to deploy its industry-leading 400 kW electric vehicle (EV) chargers at more than 100 Starbucks stores across the United States.

The first phase of the program will have 400 kW EV chargers at Starbucks stores along Interstate 5 – a critical west coast travel corridor spanning from Canada to Mexico, according to Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging.

With the new partnership, Starbucks customers can enjoy their favorite beverage while charging at over 1,000 company-operated and licensed stores with nearby access to EV charging.
