Mercedes-Benz and Starbucks are teaming up to install fast electric vehicle chargers at 100 coffee-slinging locations on Interstate 5, which runs along the West Coast from Canada to Mexico. The new stations will be part of the German automaker’s $1 billion plan to build 2,000 new EV charging hubs across the globe. Its first station, complete with a swanky waiting area and 400kW charging speeds courtesy of ChargePoint, opened in Atlanta last year.
One of the main challenges to opening new charging stations is finding a willing real estate partner who can make room for all the needed equipment to enable DC fasting charging. In addition to plugs and charging stalls, most DC fast chargers also require space for other electronics, like transformers and load centers, which are stored on-site in weather-proof metal cabinets. Some of it can be large and cumbersome, and the charging provider needs plenty of space to make it feasible.
