Electricity + caffeine = customer growth Or so that's what Starbucks seems to be thinking. One of the hesitations about an electric 🚗 I've had and have heard from others is the ease and location of charging far(ther) from home, especially when charging areas aren't at a location designed for a quick stop. Placing charging stations at a known entity intended to be a pit stop 🏁 would certainly draw me in during a short road trip. Curious to see when or if others follow the lead or if available infrastructure for chargers becomes a draw for site selection.

I'm a coffee and cars kind of person, so this is a great announcement from two awesome companies. However, from my perspective, I'm wondering about the due diligence that needs to be done beyond the fabulous announcement. I have no idea what Starbucks and Mercedes did, or didn't do. However, if you're planning a project like this one here are just a few things to be thinking about: Do most people hang around those Starbucks locations for hours at a time or do they order and go? If those customers want to be in/out in minutes will they bother to spend the extra time to charge up? If they do hang around for hours have you figured out how to incentivize the EV customers to leave the charging spot when they're done charging so someone else can use it? Is an idle fee enough? If it's a busy location, and tough to park, an idle fee may not be enough... What cost does that EV charge add to the cost of that quick cup of coffee? Who can use the chargers? Anyone? Only Starbucks customers? Mercedes drivers only? How tightly have Starbucks and Mercedes matched the use case to the type of infrastructure they are planning to install on a site by site basis? In a place like Manhattan, the Starbucks across the street or down the block might serve a completely different market and customer. I would imagine 100 locations across 1400 miles are going to be just as similar and different. Are Starbucks and Mercedes expecting to make money from the charging? Or they just offering the convenience? Do they have the necessary power capacity at each location? Backups? Power storage? Do they have the easements they will inevitably need for utilities and access? Have they looked at a title report? Have the done a site survey to make sure the equipment is going in the right place and on the correct property? Have they entered into their contracts with the right parties? Made sure the people signing those contracts have the authority do so? Who is handling maintenance? Repairs? What happens if the responsible party doesn’t do what it’s supposed to? Have you disincentivized bad behavior? Incentivized good behavior? Who do customers call if they have an issue? A Starbucks problem? Mercedes problem? Is it totally unclear or not covered? How will that affect the customer experience and the reputations of Starbucks and Mercedes Benz? Are there state/federal/tax incentives? Who gets the benefits? How are you going to handle on your tax returns? These projects require due diligence, business structuring, lots of planning, good contracts, tax reviews, involvement of your accountant, lawyer, finance advisor, etc., etc. EV charging infrastructure deployment projects are not a simple, "Hey. Let's put in some EV chargers and run with it".
Imagine a world where charging your car is as easy as ordering a cup of coffee. Well imagine no more 🔋☕ We’re launching a new collaboration with Starbucks to locate Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging at over 100 stores across the U.S. Customers can experience fast, convenient, and reliable EV charging seamlessly integrated into their daily Starbucks routine. Part of our collaboration will electrify the 1,400 mile I-5 corridor with Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging to unlock EV travel up and down the scenic west coast. Our vision: 400 kW fast chargers stretching from the sunny beaches of San Diego to the glimmer of Los Angeles and up to the iconic Redwoods bringing the freedom of travel back to the road trip. Open to all EV drivers, Mercedes-Benz is elevating the charging experience beyond the vehicle with access to amenities you know and love.

Interesting use case FLO EV Charging In my opinion this is a very forward looking way of getting ready for what's to come. EVs will come down in price which of course means more people will be driving them and when these drivers already know that there is a Level3 charger right around the corner at the convenience store everyone wins. Further, at least here in Ontario now that the Beer Store monopoly is finally coming to an end and we will be able to buy beer in convenience stores what better time to shop for my new beer experiences while charging my car. Win Win.
According to McKinsey & Company, EV drivers visiting convenience stores typically spend 45% more time than traditional gas vehicle drivers and can spend up to 25% more on food. Deploying EV charging stations at convenience stores is essential for staying competitive in today's evolving market. With EVs on the rise, consumer behavior is shifting, creating exciting opportunities for convenience store owners. Here are three reasons why EV charging is a game-changer for the convenience store industry. https://lnkd.in/gkRhFrGc
