Jul 09: McDonalds is experimenting with offering charging while you eat
for your
EV electric car. A branch recently opened in the
U.S. which has facilities for plug-in charging through a ChargePoint station.
The owner of the restaurant is Ric Richards. He wanted to build as eco-friendly
a restaurant as possible and has used green building materials for its construction.
Ric stated, 'McDonalds is enabling a better environment for future generations
by supporting zero emissions transportation infrastructure'.
Similar charge points, with dedicated parking for EV cars, will also be
incorporated into McDonalds branches in Sweden. If the recharging is popular
its something that will be implemented at other restaurants around the world.
Other facilities, such as shopping centres, where you park long enough for
EV electric car recharging, will also be keenly looking at the results of
the McDonalds experiment.
